While Jake Paul can match himself against several A-listed opponents, he has already picked Nate Diaz as his next target. Diaz is currently out of his UFC contract and can accept fights independently. That said, he has already been in some altercations with ‘The Problem Child’. Jake Paul, however, wants to face the Stockton native twice.
Revealing his plans o facing Nate Diaz, Jake Paul said, “I am so dedicated to this that I offered Nate Diaz a two-fight deal. First, we box, then six months later we fight MMA in the PFL smart cage and lay it all on the line. If that’s not ba**s, then I don’t know what is. Nate Diaz, I am down to fight you in your own damn sport. It’s a two-fight deal. Let’s make it happen.”
Jake Paul explains how the PFL MMA format impressed him to join the league over UFC
Jake Paul is one of the most renowned names in the current combat world. He could have debuted in the UFC. However, Jake Paul shares a tainted relationship with Dana White. Moreover, ‘The Problem Child’ cited how PFL MMA’s format inspired him for an MMA debut, which resonates a lot with the NBA or NFL.

After explaining his two-fight proposal to Nate Diaz, Jake Paul continued, “I love the PFL and everything they stand for. They are the only MMA organization with an in-season format. So, just like the NFL or the NBA, PFL has a regular season, then the playoffs, and then the championship each year. So if you keep on winning, you keep on advancing. This means the best fighters fight the best fighters.”
Amidst all the MMA goals, Jake Paul still wants to hold a boxing world title under his name. So, we can expect him to return to the squared circle soon. However, it’s clear that Paul is planning to expand his combat legacy and is willing to push his limits in the field.
