Diaz recently took to Twitter to send a message to his next opponent, Jake Paul. Apparently, Diaz wants his next fight to be a 12-round bout. Diaz also made steroid allegations about Jake Paul through the tweet.
12 rounds
Ur on steroids so let’s put that shit to work 👊🏼— Nathan Diaz (@NateDiaz209) April 28, 2023
“12 rounds. Ur on steroids so let’s put that sh*t to work,” Diaz tweeted, referring to Paul. As Diaz is known for his exceptional cardio and stamina inside the octagon, it will be fun for the fans to see him go against Paul for 12 rounds.
This is not the first time Diaz has targeted Paul on Twitter in a while. A few days ago, Diaz posted a tweet calling Jake Paul and KSI “scared p*ssys”. This was after Paul had agreed to keep KSI as the backup fighter for his fight against Diaz, in case Diaz could not fight due to his legal implications.
