Over the past few years, Jake Paul has become one of the biggest name in the industry of combat sports. While he has a professional record of six and one, he is to take on former UFC superstar, Nate Diaz in a highly anticipated boxing match up on August 5. Going into his bout against Diaz a lot has been said about how this is a one-sided matchup favouring Paul. However, there is also a possibility of the two locking horns inside an MMA cage. Moreover, the initial idea of the contract was for Jake Paul and Nate Diaz to sign a to fight contract, first, a boxing fight, and then in MMA fight.
While for months, there was no update on their MMA clash ‘The Problem Child’ in association with PFL recently made it known that the offer for an MMA bout of over $10 million is still on the table.
What did Jake Paul say about a potential MMA fight against Nate Diaz?
Despite the fact that Jake Paul never completed in an MMA fight, it is worth noting that he has a background in wrestling. Thanks to this ‘The Problem Child’ is confident about his chances against Nate Diaz. Interestingly, ‘The Problem Child’ even has $10 million on the table for the former UFC star.
Speaking of the same during an interview with Inside Fighting, Jake Paul vowed to “fu*k up” Nate Diaz inside a cage. While explaining the reasons for being so confident in himself, Paul suggested that he’s a better wrestler than Diaz and said:
“So guess what… So, to tap someone out, what do you have to do? You have to get them to the ground… and I’m a better wrestler than Nate.”
But, it is yet not certain if the MMA bout between the two will happen as Diaz demanded more money for it. However, the Ohio based boxer has one more fight offer from a notable internet personality.
Andrew Tate recently invited Paul to Romania for a sparring session
In a rather surprising turn of events, Jake Paul was recently seen on a live stream with Adin Ross and Andrew Tate. It is worth noting that at one point, there were discussions of a potential boxing fight between the two.
However, with Tate’s police case and him being under house arrest, it is very unlike that we’re gonna see him fight anybody, let alone ‘The Problem Child’.
However, during the live stream, Andrew Tate asked Jake Paul to fly over to Romania to do a sparring session. While nothing is certain at the moment, it will be interesting to see if it happens after Paul’s fight against Nate Diaz next week.
