NATE DIAZ has seemingly hinted he may PULL OUT of his clash with Jake Paul.
The MMA legend – who left the UFC last September – is set to trade leather with the YouTuber-turned-boxer in a Dallas dust-up on August 5.
But the fight is seemingly up in the air after a warrant for Diaz’s arrest was issued on Monday following his involvement in a mass brawl in New Orleans last week.
Diaz’s seemingly imminent legal troubles prompted KSI to offer to step in and settle the score with The Problem Child.
And that sparked a fierce response from former UFC lightweight title challenger Diaz, who tweeted: “Lol.
“Why don’t u two scared p*****s just fight each other [in] August?

“I’ll fight someone who can really fight.”
Diaz’s x-rated message to the pair came after Paul accepted the prospect of KSI being the backup opponent for his return to the ring.
He said: “Great. I accept you as the backup opponent. [The] fight is at 185. There are no rehydration clauses.
“Stay in shape and we will give you a call if needed. Thanks, buddy, for being so humble and committed.”

Future UFC Hall of Famer Diaz found himself involved in a mass brawl following Misfits Boxing’s show in New Orleans – where he nearly clashed with Chase Demoor.
Diaz didn’t throw any punches, opting instead to choke out his attacker OUT COLD with a standing guillotine after being rushed upon.
The Stockon slugger then proceeded to carefully drop the man – who turned out to be Logan Paul lookalike and pro-MMA fighter Rodney Petersen Jr – on the street floor.
Diaz has yet to publicly address the incident, although Petersen took to social media to discuss the melee.
He said: “So I don’t know what the hell I did to Nate Diaz.
“But I’ll telling you what, I’m going to knock him the f*** out when I know he’s coming.
“You caught me off guard, dude. Did you think I was Logan? What the f***?”
SunSport have reached out to Diaz’s representatives for comment.
