UFC welterweight fighter Nate Diaz and the Paul brothers have had bad blood between them ever since the internet stars entered the sport of boxing.
The YouTubers have called out the fan-favorite for a fight. However, the Stockton native snubbed them several times. He also took a jibe at the brothers by calling them ‘Paul sisters’ in several interviews.
However, the fans got to see a different side of the animosity during a recent boxing event. Last year, the Stockton slugger and some other UFC fighters were present in Tampa, Florida for Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley 2.

Later, after the conversation was over, Diaz also shook hands with the Ohio native. This came as a surprise to many fight fans. However, Stockton’s second child left the arena immediately after ‘The Problem Child’ knocked out the former UFC champion Woodley.
Jake Paul still wants Nate Diaz
Ever since his debut in boxing, ‘The Problem Child’ has defeated all his opponents. Interestingly, he finished four of his previous five opponents via a knockout. Among them was the former UFC welterweight champion, Tyron Woodley.
After his recent knockout win over ‘The Chosen One,’ Paul called out Diaz and Jorge Masvidal in the post-fight interview. While taking a nasty jibe at the UFC fighters, Paul said, “I have knocked out every person that I have fought.”

He added, “And Masvidal and Nate Diaz, you all some bit*hes for leaving this arena. Because I know you don’t want that shit. I will take out both of you all next. So get out of your contract with daddy Dana.”

However, Diaz has shown no interest in fighting the YouTuber. Instead, he is waiting for his next opponent in the UFC, who is probably going to be the former lightweight title challenger Dustin ‘The Diamond’ Poirier.
