Jake Paul addresses the Nate Diaz altercation in his post fight speech
Jake Paul was ultimately successful in his bout with the MMA great, Anderson Silva. When speaking to Ariel Helwani in the post fight interview, ‘The Problem Child’ took to the mic to callout Diaz, stating:
“I want Nate Diaz, who’s a bitch. He tried to come into my locker room, he tried to cause some sh*t. And then he always leaves the fucking arena. So, Nate Diaz, stop being a bitch and fight me.”
