@xQc @jakepaul as a massive Nate Diaz fan, yesterday was fun as hell. Nate looked like he had a good time out there goofing off going all ten rounds and got a big fkn bag from it. Jake looked to be in great form too. Overall fun showing from both guys. Excited for them to do mma next ✊

@xQc @jakepaul He won fair and square, people will always hate on a person from mistakes they have done in the past even if they were made 5+ years ago, grow up 🤡

@xQc @jakepaul jake paul is a fraud, we all know that the fight was staged there is nothing else to it
In response to xQc's hot take, some fans took the opportunity to share memes:
Some of the more pertinent fan reactions were along these lines:
@xQc @jakepaul People idolize anyone they identify with that did well once.
@xQc @jakepaul Bro please go back to watching videos silently and every once in awhile yelling unintelligible nonsense. You’re better at that

@xQc @jakepaul Paul keeps calling out MMA fighters to box, not fight.
"Yeah come over here and fight me on my terms where you can only use 10% of your kit and then maybe I can finally win." Screams insecurity to me.
Paul is a good boxer though and definitely won, but the whole thing is cringe
