The former UFC fighter Nate Diaz recently commented on his future opponent Jake Paul's callouts for 'Notorious' McGregor to fight Paul in the cage. McGregor is also a former rival of Diaz.
Nate Diaz is all set to make his debut in the boxing world by fighting YouTube influencer turned professional boxer Jake Paul on August 5, 2023. The fight will be a 10-round match in Dallas, Texas.
Paul has a reputation for calling out people for fights. He had been calling out Nate Diaz for a fight for years, but Diaz could make it happen only after his contract with UFC expired last September.
Similarly, Paul has called out Nate Diaz's former arch-rival Conor McGregor multiple times since he ditched the internet game for boxing fame. However, Conor hasn't paid attention to them.
"As far as my personal career, there's so many fighters. But when I knock out Diaz, I think McGregor's going to see me, want a payday, and come and get knocked out," said Jake Paul in an interview.
Nate Diaz also agrees with the fact that Conor should face Paul in a match. "If he was free, I'm sure he would fight him. Why would you not?" Diaz said this in Bradley Martyn's podcast.
"He's f----ng talking a lot of s---. There's f----ng criteria and that motherf---er meets it, a lot of people do but a lot of people don't also, and those people you fight in the bathroom," added Diaz.
Jake Paul has a record of beating several former UFC fighters in the ring. He has defeated big names in UFC like Anderson Silva, Tyron Woodley and Ben Askren. Paul believes he will beat Diaz as well.
