NATE DIAZ walked out of Jake Paul's rematch against Tyron Woodley just before the bell rang - because he was bored'.
The UFC veteran was present at Florida's ringside to see Chris Avila defeat Anthony Taylor, his former sparring partner.

The headliner of the night was Woodley being brutally knocked out by the YouTuber. Diaz wasn't there to witness it.
Avila, age 28, said to Helen Yee that Jake Paul was a decent fighter. However, we didn't stay for the fight.
"I believe Nate and the other guys were getting bored. They wanted to bounce. We took off just before the Jake Paul fight.
After the spectacular KO, Paul, 24, called out Jorge Masvidal, 37 and Diaz, 36.
Avila claims that his long-time colleague has no interest in fighting the social media phenomenon.
He stated that Paul had security guards to keep Nate away.

He has not yet earned that fight. Nate is the star, and they placed us in the first row. They also had his podcast guys behind him which was a bit strange.
You'd think that they would put their friends in front us, but they placed them behind us as if they were trying build a fight. So we decided to not stick around and watch.
Paul was supposed to face Tommy Fury (22), until the British ex-reality TV star pulled out with an injured rib and a chest infection.
Woodley, 39, was signed as a late substitute, but was eliminated in the rematch after just three months.
On Paul's KO List, he now joins YouTuber "AnEsonGib", ex-NBA player Nate Robinson (37), and former UFC welterweight Askren (37).
