Jake Paul recently made a bold prediction about the outcome of a potential MMA match against Nate Diaz. Despite his ongoing efforts to make his PFL debut a reality, the former YouTuber-turned-boxer is already envisioning a showdown against the seasoned fighter.
Ever since entering the realm of boxing, Jake Paul has encountered numerous mixed martial artists. The ‘Problem Child’ boasts victories against Tyron Woodley, Ben Askren, Nate Diaz, and Anderson Silva in his boxing career, and he still has a bout with Mike Perry on the horizon.
Jake has also reached an agreement with the PFL – Professional Fighters League – to make his MMA debut in their SuperFights division. However, due to his boxing commitments, his debut has been postponed. Nevertheless, both parties remain enthusiastic about making it a reality.
Despite having defeated Diaz in the boxing ring, Jake offered his first significant deal to the Stockton native upon signing, stating that he had proposed $15 million for the fight.
Additionally, the social media sensation has once again made a prediction on the outcome of the potential fight, should Diaz choose to accept the challenge.
“According to Jake, I will emerge victorious from the fight unless I am guillotined. Even if my opponent manages to get on top of me, I am confident I can easily throw him off because he has the weakest punch of all my opponents. In fact, his punches were so weak that I almost burst out laughing while he was hitting me,”Jake shared with UFC champion Sean O’Malley on episode 49 of BS with Jake Paul.

Despite targeting Nate with most of his MMA trash talk, Jake has also expanded his search for an opponent for his debut.
In an interview with the New York Post, he mentioned, “We have been attempting to arrange an MMA fight. Despite our efforts with Nate Diaz, we were unable to secure a match. It has proven to be a challenge finding the perfect opponent. However, we are actively working on it and promoting the event, and I plan on attending some upcoming fights.”
Despite having a clash with Mike Perry scheduled for July, Jake is hoping to reschedule his fight with Mike Tyson for the end of the year. However, he remains focused on his MMA career as well.
