Nate Diaz accepts Jake Paul\u2019s $10M MMA rematch challenge, but there\u2019s a big catch YouTube\/TheMacLifeUFC veteran Nate Diaz is set to battle Jake Paul in a boxing match this weekend, and he has already accepted a $10M offer for their next bout to be contested in MMA with some contingencies. Jake Paul is looking to bounce back to the top of the influencer boxing power rankings after suffering his first-ever defeat at the hands of Tommy Fury. On Saturday, August 5, Paul will face off against Nate Diaz, having already bested other former UFC talent with knockout victories against Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley. However, The Problem Child has been itching to get into MMA and wants to battle Diaz once more after their boxing match, putting $10 million on the line. While Diaz agreed, there was a big catch. Nate Diaz wants to return to UFC for Jake Paul MMA fight Speaking with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, Diaz was confident that his next fight would be in MMA and could \u201cprobably\u201d return to the UFC. \u201cIt will probably either be back in the UFC, or do something like this in an MMA style \u2013 or boxing, either one,\u201d he explained. (segment begins at 2:15) When the topic of the $10M offer came up to have an MMA bout in the PFL, Diaz appeared less interested because he has no connection to that company. \u201cI don\u2019t fight for that organization. If we do something, we\u2019re going to do something real,\u201d he said, adding that a co-promotion could be on the table. For the Paul boxing match, Diaz\u2019s company Real Fight Inc is splitting the proceeds with Jake\u2019s Most Valuable Promotions. Jake, meanwhile, was committed to his MMA debut happening in PFL and believes that once he wins in boxing, Diaz will come around because he would want \u201crevenge.\u201d (segment begins at 9:32) \u201cI think he\u2019s leaving it open-ended to see what happens Saturday,\u201d Jake said. \u201cI think he\u2019ll want that get-back and he\u2019ll realize he\u2019s not going to get as much money once he loses to me anywhere else. We\u2019ll have to see what happens on Saturday and if the results influence a potential 2024 MMA rematch between Jake Paul and Nate Diaz.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
