Nate Diaz exposed Jake Paul’s dad for praising him in person and then hating in a podcast appearance.
The Stockton native has always been honest and spoken his mind. Diaz has found himself in a minor situation with Greg Paul, the father of ‘The Problem Child.’ The 37-year-old recently met the YouTuber’s father, and everything seemed normal. The vibe was friendly, with Paul praising the UFC fighter by saying:
“Dude, I admire the f*ck out of you. And I love the way you fight, everything about you. And hopefully you’re going to be fighting Jake. I just wanted to tell you, we watch you and I love your fight style. It’s an honor to say hey to you.”
Diaz posted a video of him talking with Paul’s dad, followed by the latter saying this on a podcast appearance that featured Sean O’Malley and more:
“Jake would knock the piss out of Nate Diaz. He will knock the piss out of Nate Diaz. Nate Diaz is a punk. He’s a punk. His record is mediocre.”
Diaz has been linked to rumors regarding a boxing match against ‘The Problem Child.’ Greg Paul may be just trying to hype up his son, but the personality change is disrespectful to the Stockton native.

Nate Diaz reacts to Jake Paul’s dad being disrespectful when they weren’t in person
If Greg Paul wanted to piss off Nate Diaz, he did a phenomenal job. Diaz seemed to be moving on from a boxing match against Jake Paul. After hearing what Paul’s dad said, he is now talking about the former YouTuber again. The Stockton native posted the Twitter video of Paul’s dad being disrespectful with the caption saying:
“(Apple) doesn’t fall to far from the tree. The s**thead family”
Diaz parted ways with the UFC after defeating Tony Ferguson in September. The 37-year-old has shown interest in several options for his next fight, and boxing ‘The Problem Child’ is still being considered. Only time will tell what’s next for the Stockton native. Meanwhile, it wouldn’t be shocking to see the former UFC fighter in a physical altercation with Paul’s dad in the future.
