Logan Paul fights in WWE in Detroit before getting a private jet and police escort to Dallas to watch his brother Jake punch Nate Diaz
- Jake Paul defeated Nate Diaz in the ring via unanimous decision in Dallas
- His brother, Logan, also fought at WWE SummerSlam in Detroit on Saturday
- Logan flew from Detroit on a private jet to watch his brother beat the UFC Star
Logan Paul has revealed that he flew from Dallas to Detroit on a private jet and also had a police escort so he could make it in time to watch his brother beat UFC star Nate Diaz.
The YouTube sensation fought at WWE SummerSlam, but made it just in time to watch the fight.
It was a successful night for the Paul family, with both brothers winning their respective fights, with Logan beating Ricochet using brass knuckles to claim victory.
Jake, meanwhile, returned to the ring after his first professional loss to Tommy Fury in February, to defeat Diaz via unanimous decision.
Paul knocked down the southpaw fighter in round five with the three judges scoring the fight 97-92, 98-91 and 98-91.

It was also Diaz’s first professional fight in the ring, with the 38-year-old leaving the UFC last year but admitting before the fight that he wanted to return to the UFC.
Meanwhile, Logan signed an official contract with the WWE last year and renewed that commitment again in June.
And he’s been pretty busy lately, most notably last month at WWE’s Money In The Bank event at London’s O2 where he was thrown through a table and suffered some nasty injuries.
But despite his own commitments with the WWE, there was no chance he missed his brother’s historic fight against Diaz, with Paul claiming he flew in a jet and got a police escort to go to the event.
His brother’s fight took place at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, while SumerSlam was held at Ford Field in Detroit, and Paul arrived after completing the 1,187-mile journey to greet his brother with a big hug, but he was carrying still his wrestling outfit.
In a video posted to Twitter, Logan can be seen video calling his brother before the fight and promising him that he will be on time.
He says to Jake, “I’m going to try to get there as soon as possible. As soon as my game is over, to the SUV, to the plane, police escorts and I’m there.’
Jake replies, “Okay, let’s go.”
His older brother adds, “I love you bro. I’m proud of you Jack. I’m proud of your brother.’
“I’m proud of you man, this is so surreal what we’re doing, it doesn’t make sense,” Jake responds.
After the fight, Jake has immediately scheduled a rematch with the MMA star, but this time hopes to fight him in the Octagon in a match that could be worth $10 million (£7.84 million).
Immediately after beating Diaz, Paul told DAZN, “I want to turn it back in MMA. There is a $10 million PFL (Professional Fighting League) offer.

After his win, Jake (pictured) offered Diaz a rematch, claiming he would like to fight him in the Octagon this time
“Let’s turn it back in MMA – make it fair. I won one, now it’s your chance on home soil – let’s do it.’
And it looks like Diaz takes the offer and replies, “Yeah, let’s do it.” I want to try and do it.
“He’s tough and I wish I could have done better, but some things didn’t happen the way I wanted, but he won this one.
“I fight everyone, I don’t care. MMA sounds good and I will try to get one back. Everyone believes he whipped me, but I’d like to disagree.’
