Jake Paul claims Nate Diaz \u201cducked\u201d $10m MMA fight after agreeing before Twitter: Jake Paul\/Nate DiazJake Paul claimed that Nate Diaz has \u201cducked\u201d the $10 million offer for an MMA fight despite previously agreeing to it before their boxing match in early August. Since stepping into the world of professional boxing, Jake Paul has been adding to his previously stellar record by fighting mixed martial artists who want to try their hand in the ring. He\u2019s also gone after Conor McGregor for a fight, as well as UFC boss Dana White, as he\u2019s been keen to leave a mark on the MMA world. As a result, he\u2019s signed a deal with the PFL \u2013 Professional Fighters League \u2013 to make his MMA debut in their super fights division. When Jake defeated Nate Diaz at the start of August, the pair had agreed that, no matter the result, they\u2019d run the fight back inside the cage. Well, that was the case, but has claimed that Nate has \u201cducked\u201d their $10 million agreement. Jake Paul says Nate Diaz \u201cducked\u201d MMA fight offer despite accepting before That\u2019s right, prior to their boxing match on August 5, Jake offered Nate a two-fight deal \u2013 with the first being inside the boxing ring, and the second inside the MMA cage. Nate agreed, but on the condition that it didn\u2019t happen in the PFL, given he has \u201cno connection\u201d to the promotion. Naturally, it was something that came up during Jake\u2019s September 5 interview with TMZ Sports. \u201cWe\u2019re at the drawing board right now. Nate Diaz ducked the $10 million offer, so he\u2019s not the badass that everyone said he was,\u201d the YouTuber-turned-boxer said. \u201cI wanted to fight him in MMA and do something that no boxer has really ever done, which is, in the prime of their career, go over to MMA. MMA fighters have gone over to boxing, but I want to go over to MMA and Nate Diaz ducked the offer.\u201d Jake said he tried to \u201cpush forward\u201d with an agreement behind the scenes after Nate\u2019s public acceptance, but that came to \u201cno avail\u201d and now he\u2019s looking for someone else to fight. He still hasn\u2019t got a concrete date for when he\u2019ll be back in the boxing ring, or debut in the cage, other than he\u2019s hoping to do something \u201csoon.\u201d So, we\u2019ll have to wait and see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
