Jake Paul claims he still wants MMA fight against Nate Diaz
Jake Paul has claimed that he is still interested in a mixed martial arts fight against former UFC star Nate Diaz.
As we know, Jake Paul isn’t afraid of confrontation. He often pokes the bear with many people in the combat sports space, and when you take a look at his overall body of work, it’s hard to argue against the fact that he has been pretty successful in what he’s been able to accomplish.
One of his previous fights in the boxing world was against Nate Diaz. Paul had been campaigning for a showdown with Diaz for a long time, and after it finally came to fruition, ‘The Problem Child’ was able to walk away with the victory.
Many had suggested, including Paul himself, that the two would one day run it back in a mixed martial arts setting. In a recent interview, Jake had the following to say about this.
Paul contemplates Diaz MMA rematch
“I want Nate in MMA,” Paul said on “This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von.” “It’s high on my list of priorities to do that. It’s just the business side. He probably wants a certain amount of money to take the risk in losing to me. I just don’t give a f*ck. I have enough money. I got all my sh*t. That’s why these guys are actual ducks, is because you can’t hide behind money anymore. I think it’s going to happen, though. If he beats Perry, then me vs. Nate is probably the No. 1 thing on the list, above Tommy Fury, above Francis Ngannou, above KSI.”
“I think he will (beat Perry),” Paul said. “I think he will take him down and submit him.”
