Jake Paul addressed the people who wanted to see him fight Nate Diaz in an MMA fight after their boxing match. He shared a tweet regarding his offer on the table for the former UFC fighter for a cage fight. However, that offer did not impress Diaz.

Nate Diaz will compete in his first post-UFC fight against Jake Paul inside the squared circle. The fight will take place at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. However, many people wondered why ‘The Problem Child’ does not want to fight the Stockton native inside a cage. However, Paul clarified all their doubts in a recent Twitter post.

‘The Problem Child’ clapped back at his doubters and reminded them that he had already made an offer to Nate Diaz regarding an MMA fight. After signing a multi-year deal with the PFL, he posted a video on his YouTube channel claiming he’ll fight in their new ‘Super Fight’ division. Paul offered to compete against Nate Diaz in a 2-fight deal in both boxing and MMA.

In a recent tweet, he claimed that he will offer the former UFC fighter a sum of $10 million to fight him inside the Smart Cage after they’re done with the boxing match on August 5th. Moreover, the offer is still on the table for Diaz if he wants to accept it. Paul said, “For all the clowns saying ‘why don’t you fight Nate Diaz in the cage.’ I made that offer to him from the start. $10M to fight me in PFL after we box on August 5th. Offer is still there Nathan.” However, the Stockton native didn’t take a liking to that offer.

Nate Diaz is perhaps one of the most notable names in the world of mixed martial arts. He was one of the top draws during his time in the UFC. An MMA media outlet recently caught hold of him and asked if he’d consider fighting Jake Paul in a cage fight. Diaz said, “We will see what happens. We’ll find out a way.”

Furthermore, when the interviewer told him about the $10 million offer from ‘The Problem Child’, it did not impress the Stockton native. Diaz wanted to be offered more money for him to consider an MMA fight. He said, “It’s going to cost more than that [$10 million].” However, there might still be a chance for the fans to witness a cage fight between these two since Paul may take some time before he decides to compete in an MMA fight.

As of now, however, what is indeed confirmed is that Jake Paul will take on Nate Diaz in a 10-round fight, which will be the first time he will compete in so many rounds. While the future is unclear for both combatants, a rematch in Mixed Martial Arts is not out of the question. What do you think? Drop your comments below.
