They were speculating what’s next for the most savage star in the MMA world. To date, the question remains. Diaz is a free agent and often makes storylines regarding his return to a boxing ring. But the opponents he is speculated to go head-to-head with are Jake Paul, KSI, and other YouTube boxers, but no one noteworthy.
