Instead, he dabbed his finger on an open wound on Diaz’s forehead, and wiped the fighter’s blood on each of his cheeks.
Diaz seemed a little baffled by Paul’s actions as he appeared to say: “Watch that boy.”
Fans were certainly left disgusted by the incident and made their feelings clear.
“On god this might be the weirdest thing I have ever seen rubbing someone else blood and putting it under your eyes is creepy,” wrote one fan.
Another added: “Satanic demonic but people will pretend this didn’t happen.”
A third said: “What kind of ritual did Jake Paul just do on Nate Diaz.”
And another commented: “Please tell me this is AI.”
Paul was in the octagon after the fight as his company Most Valuable Promotions ran the event.
The fight card as full of veterans including Francis Ngannou and Ronda Rousey, who headlined the night.
Both fighters won in emphatic fashion – Ngannou landed a huge knockout on Philipe Lins before Rousey submitted Gina Carano in just 16 seconds.
Diaz could not complete the trio of veteran victories as he was battered by Perry in a courageous display before the referee stopped the contest.
“He hit me with everything he had like he expected him to,” Diaz said while not protesting the stoppage.
“I’ll get his a** next time.”
