Nate Diaz hints at a rematch against Jake Paul

After Jake Paul secured a unanimous decision victory over Nate Diaz a few months ago, he proposed a rematch. However, that rematch was not a boxing rematch. Rather, it was a proposal for an MMA fight in the PFL. Paul even up the ante by offering the former UFC star $10 million to fight him inside the SmartCage. But that is not the rematch Diaz has in his mind.
