Boxer Jake Paul will fight MMA fighter Nate Diaz in a boxing match, causing controversy on social media.
The news is out – Jake Paul will face Nate Diaz in a boxing match scheduled for August 5th in Texas. However, the announcement has caused quite a stir on MMA Twitter, with opinions sharply divided. While some eagerly await the match and anticipate the first press conference, others have criticized Paul for fighting “washed” MMA fighters, with some even calling him a “joke.”
One Twitter user went as far as to say, “When Jake Paul beat Nate Diaz, which he will, I don’t ever want to hear Conor McGregor, and Nate Diaz name in the same f***ing sentence again.” However, this sentiment was not shared by everyone, with some finding the prospect of Jake Paul versus Nate Diaz exciting. Another user wrote, “I can’t lie, I’m very excited to see Jake Paul vs Nate Diaz.”
Even Dillon Danis, a pro-MMA fighter, took to Twitter to mock the bout, saying, “Jake Paul loses to the only ‘pro’ boxer that’s his age & weight class who is actually terrible and immediately returns to boxing retired smaller MMA fighters with cte.” However, it remains to be seen whether or not Jake Paul’s critics will be proven right.
Despite the mixed reaction, it’s clear that the upcoming fight between Jake Paul and Nate Diaz is set to be one of the most talked-about events in the world of combat sports this year. Will Paul succeed in beating Diaz, or will he be defeated by the MMA fighter? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure – this is a match that many people will be watching with bated breath.
