Nate Diaz is one of the most unintentionally funny fighters ever and fans have to admit that Jake Paul was absolutely spot on with his impression of the former UFC fighter. He had also did it on the stream with Andrew Tate and Adin Ross where he pranked them in front of thousands of people.
Fans were quite amused with the antics and praised the YouTuber for his acting skills. One Instagram user commented, “respect to jake for actually tryna do promo.”
Even Jake Paul had spoken about Nate Diaz not doing enough to promote this fight. Paul had previously said that he is literally carrying the whole show all by himself.
Jake Paul frustrated by lack of promotion from Nate Diaz’s side
Jake Paul has been involved in many big PPV fights in his career as a boxer. He has fought with UFC veterans like Anderson Silva and Tyron Woodley and even defeated them. His last fight was against Tommy Fury and it did incredibly well in terms of PPVs.
Paul has recently blamed the former UFC fighter Nate Diaz for not doing enough to sell the big fight.
“That’s what I wanted – that’s why I signed up for this – is to give the people a show and to squash this beef,” Paul said. “He talked a lot more sh*t to me before we signed up to fight. So, he’s kind of being a b*tch in that sense.” – said ‘The Problem Child’
“I expected more out of him, and I expected him to carry that gangster attitude and to not take my insults. But he’s pretty much rolled over like a b*tch and has been quite boring, which pisses me off. But I’m used to carrying these promotions. It’s no different in this one.” – he added
Paul further added that the fight will still do well but he expected more out of his opponent Diaz as he is a really popular figure in the world of MMA and has sold PPV blockbusters multiple times in his career.
This will be Nate Diaz’s first fight after he left UFC earlier this year. It will be interesting to see how the numbers end up for this much awaited fight between the two stars.
