In a recent episode of DC & RC, Daniel Cormier, a former UFC champion and commentator, expressed doubts about Paul‘s abilities as a fighter. Cormier argued that Paul‘s loss to Tommy Fury showed that he was not as good as people thought he was. Cormier pointed out that Fury was able to limit Paul‘s offense to just overhand rights. He also said that Paul did not have a backup when his initial plan did not work.

“But what I do think Ryan, is when watching Jake fight against Tommy Fury, he’s not as good as we originally thought. Because Tommy Fury pretty much limited him to just throwing overhand rights. He didn’t have an answer for Tommy Fury, a guy that’s been boxing for as long as Fury’s been boxing. He just kept appreciating the overhand right.”

Daniel Cormier praises Nate Diaz

In the same episode, Cormier also noted that Diaz could pose a real challenge to Paul in their upcoming fight. DC mentioned that the 38-year-old fighter has been boxing for a long time. Cormier even talked about Nate Diaz’s training with Andre Ward.

“I think that is where I give Nate Diaz the chance. Because Diaz has been boxing for a long time. Diaz has been around the sport of boxing and fighting for a really long time now”, DC said. Ward is considered one of the best boxers ever by many, and he retired in 2017 with an undefeated record of 32-0. Training with Andre Ward can help Diaz up his boxing skills, and potentially give Jake Paul his second consecutive loss.
