Max Holloway reacted to a fan’s hilarious comment about Nate Diaz “looking like a grandma."
On Saturday night, August 5, Diaz failed to emerge victorious in a boxing match against Jake Paul. The 10-round fight featured several memorable moments, including 'The Problem Child' securing a knockdown and the Stockton native momentarily locking up a guillotine choke in the last round.
Once the unanimous decision was announced, Diaz and Paul joined Ariel Helwani in the center of the ring for a short post-fight interview. The Stockton native temporarily stopped answering questions to address a ringside fight involving his team before the situation escalated.
According to a fan on Twitter, Diaz’s mannerisms while discussing the ringside altercation were similar to an elderly grandma:

“The caption man 🤦🏻♂️😂”
After winning on Saturday night, Paul holds a professional boxing record of 7-1. In February of this year, the YouTuber-turned-boxer lost for the first time with a split-decision against Tommy Fury. He’s now back on track to his goal of becoming a boxing world champion.
Meanwhile, Diaz’s professional boxing debut didn’t go as planned. Luckily, the UFC legend has plenty of other opportunities as a fighter. He plans to return to the Octagon for several more MMA bouts in the near future.
