Follow usJake Paul’s ambition to transition into mixed martial arts and challenge UFC veterans like Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal certainly raises eyebrows. While Paul has displayed some boxing skills in his matches against fellow YouTubers and retired athletes, stepping into the world of MMA is a whole different ball game.
Diaz and Masvidal are seasoned fighters with extensive experience in MMA, including grappling, wrestling, and striking. They have competed against the best in the UFC and have faced top-tier opponents in their respective weight classes. Diaz, in particular, is known for his elite-level Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu skills, while Masvidal possesses excellent striking abilities and solid takedown defense.
For Jake Paul to compete against fighters of Diaz and Masvidal’s caliber, he would need to significantly improve his grappling, wrestling, and overall MMA skill set. While his offer of $10 million may be enticing, it’s unlikely to sway these fighters, who are focused on their careers in the UFC and pursuing opportunities within the sport’s top organization.

Furthermore, Paul’s assertion that Diaz and Masvidal are avoiding him may not hold much weight, as both fighters have their own careers and priorities within the UFC. The fact that Diaz and Masvidal have a genuine boxing rematch scheduled suggests that they are focused on their respective disciplines within combat sports.
In conclusion, while Jake Paul’s ambition and confidence are commendable, the reality is that he would face an uphill battle against seasoned MMA fighters like Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal.
