Jake Paul, the YouTuber turned professional boxer, is back with his boxing ex-UFC star. This time, the Ohio native will square off against former UFC welterweight champion Nate Diaz in a 10-round boxing bout this weekend. Diaz is competing in his debut boxing contest. Meanwhile, Paul will be competing in a 10-round bout for the first time. Many people feel that due to the age difference, ‘The Problem Child’ has an advantage over Diaz in this boxing-MMA crossover. As a result, Paul is a huge betting favorite ahead of the match.
Tristan Tate, the younger brother of notorious social media sensation Andrew Tate, has also selected Jake Paul to win the fight. He did not, however, disparage the Diaz brothers.
What did Tristan Tate say about Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz?
Nate Diaz and Nick Diaz have been prominent in the MMA industry for a long time now. Fans have loved their journey to the top. Thus, no matter win or lose, they always adore the Diaz brothers.
Having said that, even one of the internet’s most infamous names, Tristan Tate, showed respect while discussing the Diaz brothers. Tate recently spoke about Diaz’s approaching fight on his official Twitter account.
Respect to the Diaz brothers, but Jake Paul will win this.

Although he chose the YouTuber turned boxer for the win, Tristan was all complimentary of Diaz. In his tweet, Tristan wrote:
“Respect to the Diaz brothers, but Jake Paul will win this.”
Nate Diaz exited the UFC after his last fight with Tony Ferguson last year. However, he seems to be out of his prime, as he appeared a shadow of his previous self in his few recent bouts.
Meanwhile, Jake Paul has just begun his boxing career and is 6-1. As a result, this may be a difficult one for the former UFC fighter. Nonetheless, his striking abilities cannot be discounted. Diaz may also have a chance later on his own turf.
Paul wants an MMA fight with Diaz
Many people feel Jake Paul has an advantage in his boxing battle versus Nate Diaz, and he wants to prove them wrong. As a result, following their boxing bout, Paul challenged Diaz to an MMA match.
‘The Problem Child’ is presently contracted with PFL, one of the most renowned MMA promotions. He wants to make his MMA debut against Diaz and has offered a stunning $10 million to do so.
However, the Stockton native has yet to accept the offer. Diaz, on the other hand, wants more than what Paul is currently offering. It’ll be interesting to see whether Paul matches Diaz’s offer to make this MMA battle happen.
