Nate Diaz and Brendan Schaub haven't held back from taking shots at each other. Similarly, the former UFC heavyweight shared his thoughts on a civilian physicality involving the Stockton native. Diaz's misdemeanor and battery charges have grabbed the headlines recently.
The former UFC lightweight title challenger could find himself in hot water after causing a hint of commotion in August while in Las Vegas. According to a TMZ Sports-informed police report, the incident took place in the summer and saw Diaz allegedly as the aggressor as he put his hands on one of the security team members inside Omnia Nightclub at Caesar's Palace.
Schaub recently appeared on the Thicc Boy podcast, where he claimed the effort to press charges against Nate Diaz was silly and hinted at financial motives behind the legal pursuit. He said:
"Isn't this like every weekend for Nate? I just don't get, for a guy that fights for a living who's a professional, I just don't get how you get in all these altercations."

Will Nate Diaz and Jake Paul fight in 2025?
Nate Diaz and Jake Paul have an ongoing rivalry with one another and have shared the boxing ring previously. Moreover, they could step into a cage together in 2025. Schaub touched up this while discussing Diaz on the Thicc Boy podcast.
Brendan Schaub and his co-host/ producer Chin Su Yi stumbled upon this discussion while sharing their theories on this big mystery fight Dana White teased for 2025. At the UFC Tampa press conference, The UFC head honcho promised a ground-breaking event causing many to speculate what it could be.
The 39-year-old competing against the younger Paul brother in an MMA fight is something that Schaub and Yi both seemed to sink their teeth into. Then the former UFC heavyweight began speculating on what could be done for specific plans.
In more of a speculative manner than reporting inside information, Schaub said he could see a Diaz vs. Paul bout being a co-main event for UFC International Fight Week in early July.
The Stockton native does not seem interested in competing under the PFL banner, though, potentially roadblocking the fight. Paul has previously expressed his desire to compete for the PFL banner. It remains to be seen if we see the two have a UFC fight in 2025, but the Paul versus Diaz feud shows no immediate signs of ending, all the same.
