Nate Diaz straightens out Jake Paul employee for calling out Nick Diaz disrespectfully

Nate Diaz recently clapped back and straightened out Jake Paul's employee for disrespectfully calling out his brother, Nick.

During the press conference for Paul vs. Diaz, one of the YouTuber-turned-boxer's employees used the media availability to attempt a callout of the former Strikeforce welterweight champion. Derek from Betr Media said he was trying to get on the undercard and compete at the event before targeting the Stockton native's brother.

He said:

"Nate, I'm actually a boxer myself and I've been trying to get into this undercard. I am just wondering if you think I could fight your brother Nick? If he's anything like you, I think I'd beat his fu*kin a*s."

The former TUF winner clearly wasn't amused and quickly put Paul's employee on blast for disrespecting his brother. He higlighted that his team was in attendance and warned him about making such comments:

"Brother, what are you just gonna walk around the streets or some sh*t? You know all my homeboys see you right now? That was stupid...Yeah, that was stupid...Hey Derek from Betr Media, stupid a*s motherf***er."

Fortunately for all involved, the situation didn't escalate, and the press conference continued with the next question.
