Published 05/10/2023, 5:57 AM EDT

Part of what makes Nate Diaz a fan favorite is his authenticity. The Stockton gangster is always unapologetically himself. His attitude and the way he carries himself have elevated him to a cult status among fight fans. However, his ways are not everyone’s cup of tea. His next opponent, Jake Paul, found that out the hard way during their recent press conference.

Jake Paul and Nate Diaz will face each other in the squared circle on August 5. The 8-round catchweight bout will go down at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. The pair came face to face at a press conference in Dallas on May 9th to officially kick things off.

The two fighters had their own little back-and-forth during the press conference. Towards the end of the show, Diaz did something typical of his character that left Paul with his head in his hands.
