The highly anticipated boxing clash between Nate Diaz and Jake Paul has finally concluded. The intriguing backstory of their intense beef left fans enthralled. With Paul’s mastery in sparking verbal confrontations, Diaz, making his debut, garnered significant attention.

However, the biggest existing doubt in the mind of the MMA fans is about the destiny of this feud moving further.

The sold out American Airlines Arena witnessed the dominance of ‘The Problem Child’ as he went on to become triumphant by a unanimous decision. Paul appeared to end the bout early after harming Diaz in the opening round. However, the latter persisted and kept it going the entire time. Although the final result resolved the conflict in the ring, the contentious situation surrounding Diaz and Paul was not over yet. Following the contest, Jake Paul threw another gauntlet to Diaz in a post fight interview.

The serious intention of damaging each other was a must for both fighters. The 26-year-old clobbered Diaz, which eventually led to some more deeds by the YouTuber turned boxer. Well, Paul laid it straight while being a part of the post-fight interview. Even though the bout seemed to be inclined towards Paul, it portrayed Diaz’s quality of hanging around and lasting. However, the outcome of the bout was followed by an intriguing challenge.

According to ESPN, Following the battle, Paul issued a challenge to Diaz for an MMA match. For Diaz to do that, Paul and PFL are willing to pay a whooping amount. However, the guillotine choke from Diaz might be considered as a scoop of a prospective MMA bout. The choke is forbidden according to boxing regulations. After his fight, Paul mentioned the same thing. He claimed that if it had been an MMA bout, he would have responded similarly and defeated him. This might be a base for an upcoming MMA bout. However, the whooping amount was yet to be revealed.
