However, in an interesting turn of events, the 36-year-old was spotted at the Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley 2 ceremonial weigh-in at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, Florida.
Not only was Diaz spotted at the event, but he even managed to cause quite a commotion at the gathering as his crew reportedly got involved in a scuffle with Bellator featherweight champion A.J. McKee and Jake Paul’s sparring partner and teammate Anthony Taylor.

Anthony Taylor has a match scheduled with longtime rival Chris Avila in the preliminaries of Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley‘s fight card.
Bellator men’s pound-for-pound #1 A.J. McKee, who happens to be a close friend of Taylor, came to the ceremony to support his friend. Meanwhile, Nate Diaz and Nick Maximov were there to support Chris Avila.
Although they had a scuffle, no real damage was caused by either of them, as no real fight broke out at the ceremony. As a matter of fact, this isn’t the first time that both of the factions have come face to face.
Anthony Taylor accuses Nate Diaz of ‘Jumping’ at him
In a recent interview with MMA Fighting, Jake Paul‘s teammate Anthony Taylor alleged that Nate Diaz tried to pull the same stunt on him in January, the previous year as well.

He said, “Long story short, pretty much I beat Chris Avila, I start showboating in the back room and Nate overheard it, he got mad, threw a water bottle and said, ‘We are going to jump you and beat your a**.’ Excuse my language… Nate ran up on me, he swung at me, he missed, I swung at him… I missed. Bellator staff had to break it up.”
