UFC star Nate Diaz is at it again! The fighter has been asking the UFC for a fight soon. He wants to complete his one last fight and move on to other things. Hence, the athlete wants to either fight or be released.

In a new tweet, Diaz wrote, “July 30th Would be a nice to departure date”.

In a previous tweet, the Stockton slugger wrote asking the UFC to either give him a fight in July or August or release him. He also shared a video of Jake Paul knocking out Tyron Woodley in their boxing match.

Thus, it looks like the longtime UFC star wants to venture into boxing and might face Paul as soon as his commitments with the UFC come to an end.

In fact, UFC President Dana White even commented on Nate Diaz wanting to face Paul in the ring. White thinks it makes sense for Diaz to face Paul. But, he expects the UFC star to complete his contract with the promotion.

The promoter doesn’t mind Diaz facing the boxer after their contract is done. Thus, it would be interesting to see whom he faces soon. There are several names like Khamzat Chimaev and Dustin Poirier being thrown around. However, there is no official opponent yet.

Nate Diaz: Can he box?

Both the Diaz brothers are decorated grapplers. The younger Diaz has a 2nd-degree black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and handed Conor McGregor his first submission loss in the UFC. So there is no doubt about his ground skills.

Similarly, he has worked hard on his boxing. In fact, he has also trained with Richard Perez, one of the best boxing coaches in the game. Hence, his striking skills are on point, too.

However, Diaz has won most of his fights through submissions. Hence, watching him in the boxing ring would be an interesting opportunity to understand how he boxes.

In addition to this, Paul has faced boxers making their debut in the sport. If the Paul-Diaz matchup reaches fruition, Jake Paul will fight yet another athlete making their professional boxing debut.
