At the recent Jake Paul vs. Anderson Silva boxing match, former UFC fighter Nate Diaz had a backstage altercation with a member of Paul's team. Diaz landed his trademark Stockton slap on Lukis Mac, who is known to help celebrities with stress and meditation.
Mac was working with Jake Paul during the lead-up to the YouTuber's boxing match against Anderson Silva. The meditation specialist was born in West Auckland, New Zealand. The Kiwi is also a hip-hop artist and currently has a little over 6,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.
The reasons for Lukis Mac being slapped by Diaz aren't clear yet. But it seems as though the MMA fighter didn't take kindly to Mac getting up close to him during their confrontation backstage.

Diaz and Paul have had a feud for some time now and the YouTube star called out the former UFC fighter after his victory against Anderson Silva. Jake Paul later doubled down on the offer on Twitter and claimed that Diaz tried to enter his locker room before the Silva fight.
The comments came after Diaz posted a cryptic tweet suggesting that Paul's opponents were paid to lose. Jake Paul replied:
"Oh Nathan [Diaz], coming into my dressing room before my fight? Throwing drinks like a p***y. Will settle this if you ever get out of your UFC contract. Until then let’s change the game. I got big plans."
Who did Nate Diaz face in his final UFC bout and why was it controversial?
Nate Diaz's final UFC fight came against Tony Ferguson at UFC 279 this September, but Diaz was originally scheduled to face Khamzat Chimaev. However, 'Borz' failed to make the welterweight limit and the card had to be reshuffled.
Chimaev took on Kevin Holland in a catchweight contest and submitted the American in the first round. Diaz also won his fight against 'El Cucuy', submitting the fellow MMA legend in the fourth-round.
