The boxing match between Jake Paul and Nate Diaz is hard to forget. The match was a captivating event for both MMA and boxing fans. After battling for ten rounds, the YouTuber-turned-boxer secured a glorious win through a unanimous decision over the Stockton native. One standout moment of the match was when the former UFC fighter unexpectedly caught Paul in a guillotine choke during the 10th round. The fun act from the 38-year-old entertained many, as a guillotine choke is not allowed in boxing. Due to the same reason, ‘The Problem Child’ was not able to go for a countermove, and the referee had to stop Diaz from choking Paul.

This provoked Paul to a great degree, and immediately after their boxing match, he called out the former UFC fighter for an MMA fight. To make the bout a reality, ‘The Problem Child’ and the Professional Fighters League offered Diaz a whopping $10 million. That’s when the real question arises: Is Diaz ready to fight Paul in MMA?
