Nate Diaz Sets Sights on Rematch with Jake Paul
Nate Diaz, the renowned Stockton slapper, is determined to redeem himself after his recent boxing defeat to Jake Paul. Despite putting up a valiant effort in their bout at the American Airlines Center, Diaz was unable to generate enough power to overcome the larger, younger Paul. However, Diaz has made it clear that he believes the outcome would be different in an MMA fight. As Paul calls for a rematch in the cage, Diaz appears receptive to the idea, hinting at a potential clash in 2024.
In their boxing match, Paul managed to drop Diaz in the fifth round, ultimately winning the fight by unanimous decision. While Diaz showcased his mental warfare and ring play, it was evident that his true strengths lie in the world of mixed martial arts. In fact, Diaz momentarily locked up a guillotine choke on Paul during the tenth round, highlighting his potential dominance in an MMA setting.
Following his victory, Paul signed a lucrative deal with the Professional Fighters League (PFL) to compete in MMA. With Diaz being the perfect foil for Paul – smaller, older, yet still a major draw – a rematch between the two seems highly probable. Diaz himself has expressed interest in the matchup, captioning a video of him playfully applying a guillotine choke on a teammate with the year 2024.
As the anticipation builds, bookies are already favoring Diaz in the potential rematch. Despite his recent losses, Diaz’s popularity and fighting style make him an intriguing opponent for Paul’s transition into MMA. Fans can expect an exciting clash between these two polarizing figures in the near future.
