He needs to stop letting Jake hold him. Nate needs to push harder in these last 4 rounds because of the knockdown.
— Josh Thomson (@THEREALPUNK) August 6, 2023
What a farce.
— Charlie Valencia (@charlievalencia) August 6, 2023
Seriously, these commentators must be receiving a nice paycheck from Jake’s team; they’re sugar-coating everything.

This fight is exactly what I predicted. Diaz is playing the same foolish game. SMH.
— Erick Gonzalez (@GhostPepper_UFC) August 6, 2023
Nate’s pretending to be an endurance machine. He steps up in the last 3 rounds and wastes time in the rest. That’s lame, man.

If diaz had pushed a bit more, he’d have got this. judges tho smh
Can’t believe Jake won that. Nate was much better in my book, judges got it wrong this time.
Let’s get dillon in the ring. He’d save MMA and end this Paul streak.
Gotta admit, Paul picked his fights well. Diaz was a tough cookie but Jake outworked him.
y’all serious? Jake Paul? He wouldn’t last a minute in real MMA. c’mon Diaz, lets get that rematch!
