Jake Paul has always kept his eyes on the UFC domain, and never shies away from shedding opinion on stellar events. He did the same this weekend as Jorge Masvidal suffered a crushing defeat against Colby Covington after a five-round war at UFC 272. Well, Paul and Masvidal have been Twitter rivals for quite some time.

Both sides have exchanged heated words, and despite being far from each other’s combat radar, they are considered to be potential archrivals. Interestingly, despite the past, Paul is now acting as matchmaker for Jorge Masvidal and has pitched Conor McGregor as a perfect opponent for the ‘Gamebred’ at this point.

Paul has also bantered with the ‘Notorious’ in the past, with several more names like Nate Diaz also falling in his list of rivals. Therefore, Jake Paul outlined a plan in which he proposed a mega-fight for the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Jake Paul wrote, “We already know Conor can’t finish Diaz Right fight to make is Masvidoll vs Macgregor. 50/50 fight, ends in KO. Both can throw and both have weak chins.”

Jake Paul didn’t seem a huge fan of watching a trilogy clash between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz. Akin to that, Nate Diaz also wants to face Dustin Poirier on his last UFC outing. Having spent several years in the promotion, the Stockton native is now looking to hang up his gloves.
