Is Jake Paul upset with Nate Diaz’s silence?
During his conversation with the esteemed sports channel, ESPN, Paul did not hesitate to cast shadows on Diaz’s reticence and subdued efforts in fueling the feud’s excitement. Paul seemed irritated because Diaz, a well-known MMA fighter, chose to respond less to the altercation and therefore contributed minor to its ferocity. The conversation got initiated when Paul was asked about Diaz’s silence. The question was about Paul’s honest take on Diaz’s taciturnity, considering the buildup.
The query was sufficient to elicit Paul’s genuine opinions, which were greatly worrying him. He said, ” I think he is just acting like a punk! He is anxious, he is scared, he is timid, he is making excuses, he is not standing on business, he is not making any final predictions. I think he knows what is going to happen, honestly. When someone is set up in this trap, he is going to act crazy as he is. But it is typical Nate Diaz behavior. And That is why I have said that I am going to beat his as* because he is disrespectful to everyone, he is wasting people’s time.”
