During the much-publicized boxing match between Jake paul vs. Anderson Silva which happened last night (Oct. 29), Nate Diaz, who was in the audience was caught on video using his signature Stockton slap on a member of Jake Paul’s team and instigating a brawl backstage.
Nate Diaz was in the crowd at the Jake Paul vs. Anderson Silva match, cheering for a teammate Chris Avila who fought in the undercard. Traveling with an entourage as well, and known for being outspoken and trigger-happy when it comes to slaps, it is no surprise that it did not take long for his team to get into a brawl with team Paul.

The two teams got into it backstage, with video footage showing Nate’s signature Stockton slap put to use once more. The situation quickly escalated into a brawl, with people from both teams throwing objects at each other and security trying to intervene and break it up.
This brawl happened as Jake Paul was walking out for his match with Silva, which he won via unanimous decision (77-74, 78-73, 78-73), knocking Silva down to the canvas in the last round.
After the match, Paul was quick to call Nate Diaz out, seemingly aware of the brawl that happened earlier:
“I want Nate Diaz, who’s a b—ch,” Paul said. “He tried to come into my locker room. He tried to cause some shit. And then he always leaves the f—king arena. So Nate Diaz, stop being a b—ch and fight me.”
At that point, Nate Diaz was no longer in the arena, since police recorded him out after the brawl.
With Diaz, a free agent and no longer bound by a UFC contract, a match against the influencer who is 6-0 as a professional boxer might not be a such far-fetched idea, particularly given the financial aspects of it.
