Watch: When Nate Diaz confronted Fox Sports News presenters for doubting his ability to beat Conor McGregor
Nate Diaz did the unthinkable at UFC 196 when he beat the poster boy of the organization at the time, Conor McGregor. The Irishman was at the top of his game after successfully beating Jose Aldo in his previous fight to become the featherweight champion. Diaz challenged 'The Notorious' to a welterweight bout and he agreed. The American was a big underdog going into the fight.
Many fans and pundits thought he would get knocked out by the Irishman. After beating Conor McGregor, however, Diaz confronted one such group of presenters in an interview with Fox Sports News:
"I'm gonna whoop these guys' a**es when I find out it was you guys on the video. They were laughing at me on the thing, I was like, 'dude these guys are not funny'....I was like, 'he better knock me out, otherwise he's gonna have some serious problems.' and you guys were like 'Is he? Is he gonna have problems?' And then he (points to the other presenter) starts talking sh*t."
Nate Diaz went on air with Fox Sports News before the fight and the presenters laughed at him because they did not think he had a chance against Conor McGregor. However, after beating the Irishman, he returned for another interview just to confront the presenters who doubted him.

Jake Paul calls out Nate Diaz after signing for MMA promotion in a shocking move
Jake Paul is shifting his focus from his boxing career to the world of MMA. The former high school-level wrestler recently announced that he has signed with the Professional Fighters League (PFL) and will soon make his MMA debut. As he got ready to make his debut, he decided to call out his nemesis, Nate Diaz, who is no longer signed to the UFC:
"What could the haters say now? I signed with PFL, I'm doing MMA, who wants it? Nate, Nate, Nate?"
Nate Diaz and Jake Paul have been constantly going back and forth on social media and have made their dislike for each other very clear. Diaz was initially looking to take Paul on in a boxing match. However, now that 'The Problem Child' is signed to an MMA promotion, the Stockton native can fight him inside the Octagon itself.
