Now, Nate Diaz is taking to Instagram -- although he has not addressed the street fight incident.

Nate Diaz vs. Jake Paul Boxing Match
Nate Diaz is expected to take on Jake Paul in a boxing match at American Airlines Arena in Dallas on August 5, and he plans to return to the UFC.
According to ESPN, "The event will be a 50-50 collaboration between Paul's Most Valuable Promotions and Diaz's Real Fight Inc. It will be the first time Diaz has promoted himself, the first time he will fight outside the UFC in 15 years, and his first career pro boxing match. Diaz has competed in some of the biggest pay-per-view events in UFC history, and Paul has made a name for himself as a boxing draw despite his experience level."
Jake Paul called out Nate Diaz after his last fight, saying, "My last fight didn't end the way I wanted, but the result was the best thing that could have happened to my professional boxing aspirations. Now, the world thinks I am vulnerable when all I am is more focused than ever. My team wanted me to take an easy fight like KSI next, but that's not how I am built. Nate Diaz is considered one of the worst fighters ever, but he and his team have been running their mouths for too long."
