JAKE PAUL has claimed a member of Nate Diaz’s team is trying to take legal action following the mass brawl which followed their final pre-fight press conference.
Tensions were high during the pair’s penultimate pre-fight face-off on Thursday night, which followed a series of expletive-filled rants from both men.
Diaz and Paul – 38 and 26 respectively – refrained from trading blows, although members of their respective security teams ended up in a huge scuffle.
And a Team Diaz member, according to Paul, is looking to press charges over the incident.
In a video on his YouTube channel, The Problem Child said: “These little b***h-made wannabe gangsters.
“They’re already trying to send lawyers?”

Paul then went on to slam Stockton bad boy Diaz’s “gangster” image.
The former Disney star continued: “B** a wannabe gangsters.
“Stockton this, Stockton that… ‘Get a lawyer we got into a little scuffle.’
“F*****g b***h-made p***y.”

He said: “The guy who swung first on Nate’s team, who initiated the brawl, got pieced up and now has to get stitches and he is apparently going to the hospital.
“And now they’re trying to claim assault over email, involving lawyers, f***ing p*****s, oh my god.

“That’s hilarious, and they swung first.”
