The Stockton Slugger recently departed from the UFC after a win over Tony Ferguson. Following that, Diaz stated that he will explore more of the combat world outside UFC but didn’t specify his next move.

The former UFC welterweight star was always on Paul’s radar. Now the Ohio native has made it loud and clear that he wants to fight Diaz next. Diaz attended the bout and also had an altercation with Paul’s team backstage.

However, the ex-UFC fighter hasn’t yet answered Paul’s call. Apart from Diaz, ‘The Problem Child’ also called out boxing legend Canelo Alvarez.

Why Paul might be a better option for Diaz after his exit from UFC?

Diaz is one of the prominent names in the world of mixed martial art. Despite never winning a title in the UFC, Diaz has a cult following because of his never backing persona.
