Jake Paul recently called out former UFC star Nate Diaz after his recent win over Anderson Silva this Saturday.

Ahead of Paul's scheduled fight with Silva, Nate Diaz got involved in a backstage altercation with Paul's team at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona. The argument started after Diaz hit out at an individual who was later identified as Paul's teammate. However, the cause of the altercation is still not known.

In the post-fight interview of his recently concluded fight with Anderson Silva, Paul addressed the backstage clash that went down between his entourage and Diaz's.

The YouTuber-turned-professional boxer advised Diaz against getting into arguments in the "hallway" and instead challenged the Stockton native to a fight in the squared circle to settle the scores.

Detailing the incident that went down between the two teams, Paul said:

"Nate Diaz was here acting like a b**ch. He tried to fight people in the hallway you know. Nate, stop fighting people for free. Let's do it in the ring, okay? I know you are a little slow buddy but it's okay. We can make that fight happen... I didn't really know what happened. I just know there was an altercation with my team... I was focused on what was going on but I was made aware of it afterwards and it's just typical of him. That's what he likes to do. He is a street gangster. He likes to act tough and he's really not like... Why are you trying to beat someone up in the hallway, bro?"
