Jake Paul secured a unanimous decision victory over former UFC star Nate Diaz on Saturday night. The clash between “The Problem Child” and the “Stockton Samurai” lived up to the hype with both fighters delivering top-notch performances. While this may be the first chapter in their budding rivalry. Jake Paul wasted no time in extending an offer to Diaz for a potential MMA fight inside the PFL Smart Cage in 2024. Adding another layer of intrigue to their feud.
The boxing match at the American Airlines Center showcased the skill and determination of both fighters. Nate Diaz known for his tenacity and elite MMA background stepped into the boxing ring to face the formidable Jake Paul. While Diaz put on a valiant effort, Paul’s boxing prowess and ring control ultimately earned him the unanimous decision victory.
Jake Paul extended his offer of $10 million to Diaz for an MMA fight in the PFL Smart Cage next year. While Diaz had previously been non-committal about the offer. He seemed more open to the possibility of expressing interest in a co-promotion with his Real Fight Inc. organization.
With this victory, Jake Paul now boasts a record of seven career pro boxing wins. However, his attention is expected to shift toward his anticipated mixed martial arts debut with the PFL next year. While no date or opponent has been announced for his MMA debut. It is evident that Paul is eager to make his mark in the world of MMA and he is determined to face Nate Diaz inside the cage.
The potential rematch in MMA adds an exciting twist to the rivalry between the two fighters who come from different ends of the combat sports spectrum. Nate Diaz, a seasoned MMA veteran, will have the chance to showcase his skills and seek retribution on home turf. However, big brother Nick Diaz may also be interested in facing Jake Paul.
During the boxing match, Nate Diaz couldn’t help but let his MMA instincts take over attempting a single-leg takedown in the first round and a choke in the ninth. While Diaz may have lost in the boxing ring. His ability to seamlessly transition between the two disciplines highlights the potential fireworks in a potential MMA rematch.
The prospect of Nate Diaz and Jake Paul facing off in MMA is undoubtedly tantalizing for fight fans. Diaz’s well-rounded skill set and grappling expertise combined with Paul’s burgeoning interest in MMA. This promises an exhilarating clash inside the cage. If a co-promotion between PFL and Real Fight Inc. can be arranged. The showdown could be one of the most anticipated events in the world of combat sports.
