When is Jake Paul vs Nate Diaz rematch happening? UFC legend opens up about future fight plans
STOCKTON, CALIFORNIA: The possibility of a mixed martial arts rematch between Nate Diaz and Jake Paul seems to have been put to rest. On August 5, Nate Diaz made his professional boxing debut against Jake Paul. The "King of Stockton" was left disappointed as Paul emerged victorious in a lopsided result.
Since then, there has been a lot of speculation regarding a potential mixed martial arts rematch between the two fighters. Additionally, rumors have circulated about a $10 million purse, which, as you might guess, would be quite alluring to Nate.
Will Nate Diaz fight Jake Paul in MMA?
On the other hand, he seems to be thoroughly enjoying his recent transition to the squared circle. Diaz recently tweeted a straightforward statement about his next course of action.
Diaz's tweet read, "Nah, we boxing," confirming that he is not yet prepared for an MMA showdown with the "Problem Child."
Nate Diaz is characterized by his unpredictability. Whether in active competition or post-retirement, he remains one of the most enigmatic figures in the history of combat sports.
Conversely, Jake Paul remains resolute in advancing his fighting career while simultaneously maintaining a contract with PFL.
Who would win the MMA bout?
If they were to step into a cage, Nate Diaz would undoubtedly emerge as a significant favorite. The peculiar nature of this matchup would undoubtedly attract viewers, even if the potential outcome for "The Problem Child" remains uncertain in that scenario.
However, if this particular fight doesn't materialize, "The Problem Child" is eagerly looking forward to a rematch with Tommy Fury, echoing their previous bout in February.
During that instance, Fury was knocked out in the eighth round. Nevertheless, Paul is determined to seek retribution, asserting that this defeat has ignited a stronger drive within him to progress in his boxing career.
"I think the Tommy rematch is going to happen at some point, I put him down on the canvas and lost a split decision. He caught me at my worst and kudos to him," Paul said on Hotboxin' with Mike Tyson.
As Fury steps into the ring against KSI on October 14, in what promises to be one of the most significant crossovers in boxing history, Paul will undoubtedly be keeping a close watch on the unfolding events.
