Nate Diaz and Jake Paul are going to continue to be linked until something happens with the UFC fighter’s contract. Many are expecting a boxing match with Paul in the near future should Diaz leave the UFC.
Chris Avila recently spoke about Nate Diaz boxing Jake Paul. He wants to see it but expects Paul to get badly hurt.
“I’m down to see that fight [between Nate and Jake Paul],” Avila, who fought on the Paul vs. Woodley II undercard, told MMA Fighting’s Damon Martin in a recent interview. “But when you fight Nate Diaz, you’re getting the realest fighter of all time right there. So these guys are sitting here calling his name and eventually he’s going to get in the boxing ring and I’m excited to see it. Who he’s going to box is his choice. He’s going to make a stamp and a statement in boxing, easy.”
“The Jake Paul fight, Jake Paul’s team is zero, we’re one up already,” he added. “That last fight was a Paul-Diaz, team versus team, Jake Paul made that. They’re already down one. So if he wants to get in the ring with Nate or me, it would be fine with either of us. I know that’s a fight I can win. I know that’s a fight Nate would win, hands down. Easy money.”
Nate Diaz still has one more fight left on his UFC deal before he can do anything outside of the organization. He will need to figure that out first before potentially boxing against Jake Paul.
