Nate Diaz went viral when he attended Jake Paul's rematch win over Tyron Woodley in 2021.

The former UFC star was at the event to support his friend and teammate Chris Avila, who beat Anthony Taylor on the undercard.

On the day before the fight, Diaz was involved in an altercation at the weigh-in.

And he found drama once again on fight night itself.

A video emerged showing Nate throwing a fake punch at a man, causing him to hurl his drink in the air out of fright.

It was unclear if the man said something to provoke him.

Dana White shared the clip of the incident on his Instagram and it subsequently went viral.

Fast forward 18 months, and Diaz is now set to fight Paul himself, live on talkSPORT on Saturday night.

There was drama between the pair at their press conference earlier this week as a brawl broke out between team and security following the face-off.

Diaz also clashed with a member of the audience during the presser, though this time it was not a fan.

Betr (Paul's betting company) employee Derek Sullivan trolled Diaz by saying: "Can't wait to watch Jake knock you the f*** out."

A furious Diaz stood up and reacted: "Hey, bring this little b**** up here or get him the f*** out of here."

Diaz continued to rant at Sullivan, who was of course unable to make it to the stage for a confrontation, thankfully for him.
