Well folks, thank you for tuning in. This is the story of last night's showdown between Jake Paul and MMA great, Nate Diaz.
We're not here to bore you with the facts of the fight. Paul won it, controversially or not, he won it, and that's all.
However what we are here to tell you about is the absolutely ludicrous moment when Diaz decided to get Paul in a guillotine chokehold submission. What the…
Speaking about Paul, Diaz later said: "He needed a takedown. He needed a choke. He did a good job. He’s a fucking athletic, strong dude and he hits hard and fast, but it ain’t nothing I hadn’t seen before, and I trained with people who were [like that]. These guys can throw down. It’s good sh**. […] I should have been throwing punches, keeping him on the outside.
"[The chokehold was a] done deal. In a real fight, the fight’s over, and I would have secured the win, but we were participating in a boxing match, and it was a good time, and now I know… I’ve trained my whole career in boxing with pro boxers on the highest level, high as I could get, and I’ve done really well. I’ve never fought in a pro fight, so I thought I’d f*** up anybody."
He concluded saying: "The guillotine… that was too easy. The takedown was too easy too - I got the punch, his whole weight was in my chest. In MMA they smash my head and f*** me up. I didn’t think I won. I knew he got the knockdown, but I figured I won a good amount of rounds."
Kinda wild he lost but also won.
