Many consider Paul as a rugged test for Diaz only if the duo takes up the ring space. However, Diaz’s teammate, Chris Avila, believes the UFC fighter will beat ‘The Problem Child’ easily even in a boxing bout.
Recently, Avila chatted with MMA Fighting. Here he weighed in on the Paul vs Diaz matchup.
“I’m down to see that fight. But when you fight Nate Diaz, you’re getting the realest fighter of all time right there,” he said.
He further added, “Jake Paul’s team is zero. We’re one up already [with me beating Taylor]. 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.” (h/t Boxing Scene)

Nate Diaz and other UFC names like Jorge Masvidal come under their UFC contracts, which makes it impossible for them to face Jake Paul in the ring.
