Former UFC fighter Nate Diaz may have lost his clash with Jake Paul, but he had some fun during the fight.

In the ninth round, Diaz used some of his MMA skills to put Paul in a guillotine choke, before releasing him and in round five, the man from Stockton, California, pretended to be hurt from a body shot, fooling the commentator.

Paul landed the punch and Diaz seemed to grab his stomach in pain, as the commentator said: "Ooooh."

Before Diaz immediately recovered and continued boxing, showing that he had been faking it.

The commentator laughed and said: "He got me with that one," as his co-commentator replied: "He's playing."

With that being said, Paul did genuinely hurt Diaz a few times in the fight, as in the first round the social media star turned boxer came out with a vengeance unleashing a barrage of punches and he appeared to wobble his opponent.

And then, in round five, Paul landed a short left hook that saw Diaz stumble down onto the canvas, but he managed to return to his feet and continued on to the end of the fight, although he would lose by unanimous decision.

Speaking about the knockdown post-fight, Paul said: "I called it, I knew it would be a hook.

"Happy hooker, I got him on the line."

And Paul even posted ringside footage of the knockdown on Twitter, alongside the caption: "I told y’all I was going to walk the dog."
