The initial Jake Paul and Nate Diaz bout was a blockbuster. It was Diaz’s debut in boxing and Paul’s first opponent from UFC. Their bout ended up with Paul winning it through a unanimous decision. However, Diaz’s boxing despite being a newcomer was praiseworthy, at least to some.
Paul promised Diaz that their rematch would be happening in the MMA arena and was supposed to happen at the end of this year but there are no signs of that as of now. In his frustration, Paul called out Diaz for not acknowledging the promise and stated that Diaz was ducking the fight.

But now that he has beaten McGregor two in a row, there should not be any hesitancy to fight him again,” said Cormier.
