Welcome to Midnight Mania!
“Let’s go, we gained.”
As is usually the case, Crew Nate Diaz instigated a little bit of chaos at a public occasion final weekend. The Jake Paul vs. Anderson Silva boxing occasion was scene of the newest scuffle Diaz and his camp have began, and per ordinary, Diaz walked off claiming himself the victor.
New footage launched by YouTuber Amacky of the battle is may be seen above (H/T MMAJunkie). The footage exhibits a lot of the lead up and aftermath of the beforehand launched footage, and extra of the members of both camp are identifiable. The Diaz facet contains just lately launched UFC combat Nick Maximov, fresh-off-a-win Chris Avila, and MMA prospect Luciano Ramos.
In fact, there’s additionally Nate Diaz himself, and all are buying and selling insults with Paul’s crew. In the meantime, Jake Paul himself was within the strategy of warming up for Anderson Silva, so he was not current.
After the preliminary confrontation, a big bodyguard from Paul’s camp will get beamed by a water bottle thrown by Diaz. As that physique guard and one other shut the hole and are held again, a beer credited to Nick Maximov soaks over the pair. Diaz claims victory, Jake Paul calls him out after beating Anderson Silva, and he doesn’t even get arrested for his actions!
Is the entire affair genius technique from Diaz to construct up one other high-profile payday or just trashy habits from the free agent?
