Nate Diaz sends challenge to Jake Paul amid UFC contract dispute Instagram: Nate Diaz\/Jake PaulMMA star Nate Diaz has hinted at potentially fighting Jake Paul in the near future as he\u2019s called upon the UFC to release him from his contract if they\u2019re not giving him fights. In his short time being involved in the world of boxing, Jake Paul has called out plenty of big-name fighters and been involved in many subsequent wars of words with those targets. It\u2019s not just boxers, though, that he\u2019s been calling out. He constantly trades verbal jabs with Conor McGregor and Dillon Danis, and there has been the idea of himself and Logan fighting Nate and Nick Diaz on some sort of super card. While that hasn\u2019t come to fruition just yet, it seems as if Nate is intent on getting his hands on Jake at some point, especially as he\u2019s still locked in a contract dispute with the UFC. The Stockton native hasn\u2019t fought inside the Octagon since June of 2021, but he\u2019s been itching to get back into action as he\u2019s repeatedly called on the UFC to give him another fight. As that doesn\u2019t look like happening, Diaz has seemingly turned his attention to fighting Jake \u2013 or at least using the social media star to get UFC\u2019s attention. On June 21, he tweeted a video of Jake knocking out Tyron Woodley in their second fight and called on the UFC to let him out of his contract. \u201cUFC release now please or give me a fight with anyone in July or August. I have bigger sh*t to do,\u201d he said. Ufc release now please or give me fight with anyone in July or august I have bigger shit to do pic.twitter.com\/xyYSCBysLs\u2014 Nathan Diaz (@NateDiaz209) June 21, 2022 With Nate mentioning August, it didn\u2019t take long for some replies to suggest that he wants to be a part of Jake\u2019s return to action on August 6. While Jake has got a fight date sorted, he hasn\u2019t announced an opponent. Could it be Nate, if it isn\u2019t Tommy Fury? We\u2019ll just have to wait and see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
