This comes on the heels of trash talk between Diaz and Logan Paul as fight rumors swirl. The Paul brothers have been kicking up dust everywhere in the combat sports scene. Since the influencer boxing trend took off, they\u2019ve been getting attention from some of boxing and MMAs biggest names like Floyd Mayweather, Conor McGregor, and Diaz. Though most interactions have boiled down to smack talk, Logan managed to at least convince Mayweather to an actual bout that took place in 2021. But the possibility for more headline fights has grown since. Now Nate Diaz apparently wants to exit the UFC and Jake, for one, is looking forward to him leaving. Jake Paul backs Nate Diaz UFC exit On March 26, Diaz signaled his intent to exit the UFC on Twitter by expressing his angst at getting in the ring again with no match in sight, \u201cI would like to request to be released from the UFC, Dana White & Hunter Campbell,\u201d he wrote. \u201cI apologize for asking online but you don\u2019t give me a fight ASAP. I got sh*t to do.\u201d He doubled down later by saying: \u201cMother f**kers be crying cause they get dropped from the UFC. I can\u2019t pay out this bitch.\u201d Jake Paul was quick to support the MMA fighter\u2019s endeavor to leave by saying \u201cFree Nate Diaz\u201d in response to the tweet. Mother fuckers be crying cause they get dropped from the ufc I can\u2019t pay out this bitch \u2014 Nathan Diaz (@NateDiaz209) March 26, 2022 Jake and Logan have long been goading Diaz and his brother, Nick, into some kind of action. Nothing has been confirmed as far as a bout goes, but all parties have been vocal about wanting to meet in the ring. Diaz directly called out Logan Paul for a fight in early March. However, due to his UFC contract, any sanctioned match against Logan or Jake would be out of the question. But now that Diaz is actively looking to exit the UFC, it could open the door to the YouTubers finally being able to throw hands with the famed fighter in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
