“That’s Where All the Money Is”: UFC Veteran Foresees Nate Diaz Snubbing Jake Paul’s $10,000,000 Offer for a Conor McGregor Trilogy Fight

As the clash between Nate Diaz and Jake Paul draws near, the excitement intensifies, but so do the new developments and endless speculations. The 10-round bout will see Diaz walk into a boxing ring for the first time, which might prove to be beneficial to Paul. Interestingly, Jake Paul recently offered to level the playing field by proposing an MMA fight between him and Diaz after this one!

Moreover, he even offered $10 million to the Stockton Native. However, the former UFC fighter denied it. Although Paul is a polarising figure, fans would have loved to see him in an MMA ring with Diaz. Recently, former UFC referee John McCarthy talked about this and revealed how Nate Diaz has a better plan!

John McCarthy thinks Nate Diaz will skip Jake Paul for Conor McGregor

In his recent ‘Weighing In’ podcast with Josh Thomson, McCarthy talked about the Stockton native not fighting Paul in MMA. According to him, Diaz had a clear and strategic plan right from the outset. He intended to fulfill his contractual obligations with the UFC, and then aimed for a lucrative showdown against Jake Paul to secure a big-money fight.

“Nate had a plan from the very start about what he wanted to do. He was going to fight out his contract, he was gonna get this big money fight with Jake Paul.” Diaz’s vision didn’t stop there. As per McCarthy, following his boxing fight, Diaz aims to return to the UFC for a trilogy fight with Conor McGregor.

“And then he is going to go back to the UFC and finish off a trilogy with a guy named Conor McGregor. That’s where all the money is.” With Diaz’s alleged calculated moves, the world of combat sports eagerly awaits to see how this master plan unfolds.

Diaz vs. McGregor 3 at 185 lbs?

The first two fights between Diaz and McGregor were both in the welterweight category. Interestingly, McGregor jumped two weight classes straight from featherweight to face the Stockton native. Diaz, on the other hand, fought in the lightweight and welterweight divisions.

However, both fighters are way above that weight today. According to McCarthy, the potential fight might take place in the middleweight division, which is both fighters’ natural weight today.

“Weight-wise, ill be surprised if they meet at 170 lbs, which is where they met both times. It is neither one of their weight classes”, he said. What do you think about the idea of McGregor vs Diaz 3? Let us know in the comments below.
