Tf u mean should he take it? Duh, he would absolutely maul Jake in MMA. It would be beautiful

Imagine getting offered 15 mil to go get choked out on livestream

He should take it. Dana White would tell him to take that fight for 15 million. No doubt in my mind

I’m fighting the whole roster for that type of money!

My guess is Nate can use this offer as leverage w the UFC, or hold out and get an even bigger bag

Im fighting Francis Ngannou for $15 mil But if theres one dude who would turn that deal it would be Nate Diaz

Nate should take the fight so Jake Paul could whoop him

Jake Paul recently engaged in a conversation with Ariel Helwani. Paul explained that Diaz is not willing to fight him “I’m not sure if I’d use the word “close.” I think there was a point where there was genuine interest from his team in making it happen, and then there was just radio silence after that.” Said Jake Paul.

He further added “Now he’s calling it the PFL and all this stuff. It’s like, okay, bro, you either want to make this happen or not. He’s saying, “Oh, we’ll do it under real fight.” That’s not a real thing, by the way. We taught them about the business, and how to run their operation, and we let them put their logos on the mat. They don’t have a promotion. They don’t have any infrastructure. They don’t have the funding to make any event possible.
