Meanwhile, he offered a two-fight deal to Nate Diaz. In an exclusive video released by the PFL MMA, Jake Paul explained his idea of facing the Stockton native.
‘The Problem Child’ 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 is fresh off his boxing win over former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva. That said, Silva is the second ex-UFC champion after Tyron Woodley, who failed against Jake Paul inside the boxing ring. With Conor McGregor ignoring Paul’s call-out for several years, it remains to be seen whether Nate Diaz entertains the YouTuber-turned-fighter or not.

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.
