Suddenly, Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz makes sense. It certainly did when the UFC President Dana White spoke earlier about the match. Ever since Jake Paul had been looking out for yet another callout event, the question was whom could he rely upon with a strong fanbase and a resume that could sell the fight? Fans pondered over various names, starting from Conor McGregor to Mike Tyson. Well, now, there seems to be a solid and clear answer.

It is the Stockton-born fighter, Nate Diaz. The possibility of a fight between the two loudest mouths in combat sports came into being through a series of innocuous events. As Jake Paul courageously voiced his thoughts, criticizing the payment policy of the UFC, he ruffled a lot of feathers.

At the beginning of the year, ‘The Problem Child’ even released a diss track on YouTube urging White to pay his fighters more and provide them with much-needed healthcare facilities. Now that Diaz, Paul, and even White express their wishes to make the Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz fight, fans are going insane.

“I will fight for free”: Jake Paul takes Twitter by storm

Nate Diaz had recently taken to Twitter and implored the UFC to release him now or assign him a fight. To make matters more interesting, he even added a clip of Jake Paul knocking former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley out. White, on being asked about the situation later, spoke his mind and showed delight in the duo. Following that, this is how Paul responded to Diaz:

He wrote, “Dana – I’m happy to be Nate’s last fight in UFC. You know the terms: pay fighters more and give them healthcare. Sweetener: I will fight for free.”

Now fans only have to wait to see if the bout actually goes down. Meanwhile, here is a look at what White told the media about Paul fighting Nate.

‘That’s a fight that makes sense” – Dana White on Paul vs. Diaz

According to White, Diaz has only won one fight in the last five or six years and hence he obviously does not deserve to come in and fight someone like Kamaru Usman. Needless to say, White puts this comment with a pinch of frustration. Here is what he said further:

“I like Nate, but let’s be honest, Nate’s won one fight in the last five or six years. When these guys get into these positions, guys that have been with us for a long time, you want to be fair to everybody. You want to do the right things. Nate Diaz isn’t going to come in and fight Kamaru Usman.”
