Nate Diaz denies 'eating punches', shares reason for bloody fights

Nate Diaz has developed a reputation for taking plenty of damage in the octagon. Ahead of his boxing debut, which will pit him against Jake Paul, the former UFC lightweight title challenger made an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, where he stated:

"I don't really be eating punches like how they say. I bleed because of the forearms and the elbows and s**t cut me up but like I said, I've been in a boxing gym and it might not look like it but I roll with a lot of these punches that anybody lands on me. I'm not just walking in like a meathead into punches."
