Jake Paul is back in the win column — the Problem Child just defeated ex-UFC star Nate Diaz via unanimous decision … in what became an instant classic fight.
Jake controlled the first three rounds — but it’s fair to say Nate took the fourth. Jake regained control again in the fifth round, knocking Nate on the canvas in the lone knockdown of the fight.

The rest of the bout was close … with Nate proving once again it’s damn near impossible to fluster him with punches.
But neither athlete was able to get the knockout … and when it came to the judges, they decided on a unanimous decision in favor of Paul.
Jake’s brother, Logan, was present for the bout even after competing at WWE’s SummerSlam event in Detroit earlier in the night — hopping on a private jet in order to make it to see his fam get the dub.
In his post-fight interview, Jake made it clear he still wants to avenge his loss to Tommy Fury.
But for now, it’s time to celebrate … and we’re sure Jake AND Logan will both make the best of their victories.
