The mounting tension between Nate Diaz and Jake Paul led to a stunning brawl between their fight camps on Thursday as tempers continued to flare ahead of Saturday’s anticipated showdown.
The chaotic scene unfolded after Paul, 26, and Diaz, 38, took center stage for their final pre-fight press conference, where the fierce rivals talked more smack in preparation for their boxing match on Aug. 5
Towards the end of the presser, Diaz and Paul stood at a distance and began chirping while being surrounded by a crowd of people that included their management, training staff and security teams. The ex-UFC star then began talking to Paul’s manager and former UFC CFO Nakisa Bidarian before approaching him on his way off-stage.
