Following his altercation with a Logan Paul impersonator late last year, former undisputed lightweight championship challenger and UFC star, Nate Diaz has once more hit the headlines, after footage emerged of the Stockton veteran involved in a physical altercation with a bouncer.
Diaz, a former lightweight title challenger and perennial welterweight contender under the banner of the promotion, made his return to combat sports earlier this year in his native California — besting former Octagon foe, Jorge Masvidal in his sophomore venture to the boxing ring.
Most recently featuring in the UFC back in 2022, Ultimate Fighter winner, Nate Diaz landed an impressive fourth round guillotine choke submission win over former interim lightweight gold holder, Tony Ferguson in their impromptu welterweight main event fight at UFC 279.
Nate Diaz involved in latest scuffle with bouncer
And gearing up for a potential return to the UFC next year, Nate Diaz was pictured on social media this week involved in a physical confrontation with a bouncer at a venue, before the duo were eventually corraled by onlookers after shoving each other and squaring up.
As well as a potential return to the UFC to make a swansong in the Dana White-led promotion, Diaz has also been welcomed as a potential foe for another former interim gold holder, Dustin Poirier — who claimed he would be open to settling their long-standing grudge in a potential venture to the squared circle in the near future.
“I would love to [box],” Dustin Poirier told MMA Fighting during a recent interview. “That would be fun and exciting. … Just a change of speeds, different training camp, just something different. I’ve been doing MMA a while. I still love the training camps and love fighting, but to go to purely boxing, the whole training camp would be a lot less wearing on my body. No wrestling, no jiu-jitsu, running, swimming, that’s fun.

Tyron Woodley recently opened up about how the fallout over a proposed fight with Nate Diaz sparked tension between him and Dana White.
“The Chosen One” has always had a rocky relationship with the UFC CEO, with both men frequently exchanging sharp words about one another. Following Woodley’s one-sided defeat to Kamaru Usman at UFC 235, White didn’t hold back, openly criticizing the 42-year-old former welterweight champion for his fighting style.
White was one of Woodley’s harshest critics, even after his victory over Demian Maia at UFC 214. The UFC head honcho chastised the Missouri native for what he perceived as a lackluster striking performance, ultimately costing Woodley the chance to fight Georges St-Pierre. In response, Woodley publicly fired back at White, demanding a public apology for the harsh treatment.
Woodley Opens Up About Diss Track On White After Diaz Fight Fallout: ‘That Was My Way Of Expressing Myself’
During a recent appearance on the Overdogs Podcast, Woodley shared the backstory of his frustration. After his victory over Maia, White and Hunter Campbell approached him with the idea of defending his title against Diaz, who was then competing in the lightweight division. Despite suffering a torn labrum in the previous bout, Woodley agreed to the challenge.
However, when Woodley publicly announced the fight in an interview, he was met with a fiery denial from White, who swiftly dismissed the matchup. The UFC CEO’s abrupt U-turn left “The Chosen One” so infuriated that he chaneled his anger into creating a diss track aimed at White.
Woodley parted ways with the UFC in March 2021 after enduring a tough stretch of four consecutive losses from 2019 to 2021. Before this challenging period, he was riding high on a seven-fight unbeaten streak, during which he successfully defended the welterweight title four times.

Jake Paul was aiming to fight Nate Diaz in an MMA match in the PFL. The two fought in boxing with ‘The Problem Child’ getting his hand raised against the UFC veteran. The PFL had made offers to both Jake Paul and Nate Diaz, but apparently, Diaz declined the match.
Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz in MMA?
Yesterday, Paul hosted the PFL press conference between heavyweights Francis Ngannou vs. Renan Ferreira. This is the UFC lineal heavyweight champion taking on the Bellator and PFL king Ferreira.
YouTube celebrity Jake Paul has been able to make a name for himself in the world of boxing taking on big-name UFC athletes. His wins include Tyron Woodley, Nate Diaz, and Anderson Silva, among others.
But Paul wants an MMA fight in the PFL. According to him, the fight was offered to UFC veteran Nate Diaz but the Stockton-born athlete declined the match. It would be Jake Paul’s debut in professional MMA after several wins in professional boxing.
At the PFL press conference yesterday, Jake Paul explained what’s needed for him to compete in MMA. Paul said:
“We’ve made offers. Nate Diaz ducked it. It’s just about having the right name. And I’m ready. I want an MMA fight. I think it would be super, super fun. I don’t think a boxer in their prime has gone over to MMA … I’m down but I just want a big name and a big fight.”
The US-born Nate Diaz had a lengthy career in the UFC, making his debut in 2007 and leaving the organization in 2022 after having an impressive 27 matches. Afterward, Diaz competed in boxing fights against the likes of Jorge Masvidal, who he defeated, and Jake Paul, who he lost to. Nate Diaz is likely best known for his matchups against the superstar Conor McGregor. Later this year, Jake Paul will box against all-time great Mike Tyson.
