Nate Diaz bashes Logan Paul for his antics during Jake Paul fight

The much-anticipated fight between Jake Paul and Tommy Fury recently culminated in Saudi Arabia, with Fury handing ‘The Problem Child’ his first professional loss. It was a stunning victory for ‘TNT’, who showcased his impressive skills and emerged victorious in the end.

However, ex-UFC welterweight Nate Diaz wasn’t a fan of the event, particularly due to Logan Paul‘s midfight antics, where he was trash-talking in between rounds. Diaz took to Twitter to bash the elder Paul brother, expressing his disdain for the event.

He wrote, “This guy needs his a** beat And who let the spoiled lil b*tch yell obnoxious shit during the fight ?”

Having said that, if Jake Paul had won the fight, Diaz was in line to be his next opponent. But with his loss, the conversation has come to a standstill, leaving us clueless once again with what’s next for Nate Diaz.

Dana White experiences Déjà vu with Power Slap Criticizm

In a recent interview with Robbie Fox, UFC president Dana White opened up about his thoughts on the constant backlash that the Power Slap move is receiving. He compared it with the early days of the UFC, where nobody believed in it to be this big of a sport. However, the UFC has now become a massive success, and White holds the same hopes for the Power Slap league as well.

Dana White said, “It’s f**king déjà vu. It’s exactly the same. There’s no difference between it.” He continued, “You know, all the media talking about, ‘this is horrible, this is disgusting, this should never happen’… You know all these guys that want to act like they’re big UFC f**king guys. Nobody was touching this sh*t back in the day, nobody would, you know, write about it, and nobody took us serious. Nobody said that this would ever be a real sport. It’s absolutely déjà vu, I love this sh*t. This is what I love.”

The UFC president seems to remain unbothered by all the criticism. He feels that this backlash will fade away with time, making room for acknowledgement, just like it happened with the UFC.

All in all, McGregor’s coaching at the TUF 31 represents a noteworthy moment in the history of the sport, and his tribute to Bonnar serves as a reminder of the legacy that the MMA pioneers have left behind.
