However, Diaz has just one fight remaining on his UFC contract and if rumors are to be believed, the fighter from Stockton won’t sign with the UFC again. Instead, Diaz would look to fight the YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul.
On his podcast, Diaz’s former opponent Josh Thompson said that Diaz will leave the UFC and he will fight Jake Paul. Thompson also added that Diaz is done with MMA and he knows that a fight with Paul will make him twice the money compared to a fight with McGregor.
Well, if Nate Diaz were to do that, it would be interesting to see. Until now, none of Paul’s opponents have been able to stop his dominance in the ring, but fans believe Nate Diaz can be that opponent who puts an end to Paul’s winning streak.
