Nate Diaz and his team (The Skrap Pack) have built notoriety for causing havoc during fight weeks. With starting brawls pre and post-fight with numerous fighters such as Jason Miller, Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov. With Diaz’s camp’s distaste of Jake Paul, he was questioned about the chance of an altercation happening during fight week. Paul replied with:
“I’m not (worried about any team vs. team run-ins). We’re ready for this smoke if they want to do that punk sh*t that they normally do, but not worried about it all. the most that can happen is somebody getting hit with a water bottle, that’s their signature, so it’s not too bad.”
