"Sign the contract Scary and not in 12 months from now and in a sh* organization."

Diaz is coming off a majority decision win over his UFC rival Jorge Masvidal in a boxing match that took place in July. Meanwhile, Jake Paul recently went the distance with boxing legend Mike Tyson in a fight that faced heavy criticism due to the significant age difference between the two.

The social media altercation between Paul and Diaz has begun at the time when the Stockton native is dealing with a misdemeanor battery charge in Las Vegas. Reports indicated that Diaz shoved and struck a bouncer outside the Omnia nightclub at Caesar's Palace in August.

As a result of the incident, the state of Nevada issued an arrest warrant for Diaz in October. As of now, there have been no further developments in the story.
