Nate Diaz is preparing to lock horns with Jake Paul in his own way. The former UFC sensation will be making his debut inside the boxing ring against the Youtuber turned boxer. Notably, the stakes for this fight are already high, as the two agreed to bump up the total number of rounds from eight to ten for their fight. And it seems like Diaz is not leaving any stone unturned for his first-ever boxing fight. One thing certain about the MMA fighter is that he likes to train in his own way. And one such training clip from the 38-year-old has left the fans surprised.

In a recent clip shared by Diaz on his social media, he can be seen training while smoking. And, as unlikely as this combo is, it seems like he has a rather odd choice for a combo in training. This video has caused a stir among the fans, who are shocked to see the training clip. They were not hesitant to call out the fighter regarding the same.

“I have a bad feeling about this”: Fans left divided after Diaz’s smoking training clip

Michael Benson From TalkSport took to his Twitter to share the clip originally posted by Diaz on his social media. The clip shows the 38-year-old standing inside the boxing ring. He is showing his hand-work. But, what outshone his impressive handwork was the fact that he did it while he was smoking.

Diaz can be seen rocking his shadowboxing before exchanging jabs with the ‘problem child’ on August 5th. He performs a few punch combos for the camera. He even nears the camera’s end before taking a smoking break. This clip has taken his fans by surprise, who responded to it to share their amusement after watching it.@JenksReuben let his humorous side out, as he gave his prediction for the fight, even though many people think Paul will win. He wrote, “Alot of people think Jake smothers him but I got Nate by lung cancer.”

@AAWerewolfinNJ is not getting a good feeling after watching the training video.
