Off the back of his unanimous decision loss to the outspoken, Jake Paul in Dallas, Texas last night, former UFC lightweight title challenger, Nate Diaz has claimed that the Ohio native “can’t really fight” – joking that he almost latched onto a guillotine choke in the ninth round of their professional boxing match.
Making his return to combat sports for the first time since a UFC 279 submission win over former interim lightweight champion, Tony Ferguson, fan-favorite veteran, Diaz dropped a unanimous decision (97-92, 98-91, 98-91) loss to the now 7-1 Paul, over the course of 10 rounds at the American Airlines Center.
Surviving beyond an adversity-filled opening round, which included Paul landing a massive counter hook which wobbled and sent Diaz reeling, the Californian was ultimately dropped midway through the bout.
Landing his own series of strikes – particularly in the latter series of their showdown, Diaz even attempted to grab hold of a front headlock and standing guillotine choke in the penultimate round of his fight with Paul – throwing his hands in the air in celebration after the referee separated the duo.
And receiving a stunning offer of a $10,000,000 payday from Paul to take part in a rematch under the PFL (Professional Fighters League) banner – strictly under the unified mixed martial arts ruleset, Diaz made the admission that despite his loss, Paul “can’t really fight”.
“I’m not trying to f*cking talk sh*t,” Nate Diaz said at his post-fight press conference. “He’s boxing high-level MMA guys and he’s sparring hard and working with good people, and then he starts talking sh*t to me throughout the camp. It comes with the territory and all is fair, love and war, I’m always about that. Say whatever you want, that’s fine. But then when you start making things personal, trying to make things personal, saying sh*t he shouldn’t be saying. It hurts people’s feelings when I say this ain’t a real fight.”
“Because if it’s a real fight – remember [the] Logan Paul (lookalike) in New Orleans?” Nate Diaz asked. “No problem. This is not a real fight to be talking to me like that. This is a boxing competition, so that’s what I meant by he can’t really fight. It’s not overly disrespectful, If yu can’t really fight, don’t be talking sh*t.”

Heralded for turning in a competitive performance in his first venture in professional boxing, former UFC lightweight title challenger, Nate Diaz pushed the now 7-1 Jake Paul the 10 round distance in Dallas, Texas, en route to a back-and-forth unanimous decision (97-92, 98-91, 98-91) defeat to the outspoken Ohio native.

Heralded for turning in a competitive performance in his first venture in professional boxing, former UFC lightweight title challenger, Nate Diaz pushed the now 7-1 Jake Paul the 10 round distance in Dallas, Texas, en route to a back-and-forth unanimous decision (97-92, 98-91, 98-91) defeat to the outspoken Ohio native.
Diaz, making his professional boxing debut tonight at the American Airlines Center in ‘The Lone Star State’, survived a massive scare in the opening round, finding himself on the receiving end of a huge counter hook, rocking the Stockton native and sending him reeling to the ropes for the majority of the opening frame.
A clear step and speed behind Paul throughout the entirety of their 10 round cruiserweight showdown in Dallas, Diaz, who turned in an impressive display toward the latter end of the bout as well as the later rounds, was dropped in the fourth frame by Paul — with another counter left hand shot sending the Californian tumbling to the canvas.
Dropping a unanimous judging defeat to Paul, Diaz was offered a stunning $10,000,000 fight purse to land a rematch with the former under the banner of the PFL (Professional Fighters League) strictly under the unified mixed martial arts ruleset.
Poking fun following his decision loss, Stockton fan-favorite, Diaz joked that in the first round, he could have secured a first round single leg takedown on Paul — as well as maintaining he almost latched onto a guillotine choke both the ninth and final tenth round.

Canadian rapper and R&B artist, Drake, has slapped a cool $250,000 bet on former UFC welterweight contender, Nate Diaz ahead of his professional boxing debut tonight in Dallas, Texas – as he takes on 6-1 puncher, Jake Paul over the course of 10 rounds.
Making his professional boxing debut tonight in ‘The Lone Star State’, Diaz is scheduled to headline a card at the American Airlines Center, taking on Ohio native, Paul – after a climactic build up to their middleweight pairing during Thursday’s press conference, and Friday’s official weigh-ins – which included Diaz throwing a kick at Paul.
Sidelined from combat sports competition since he headlined UFC 279 back in September of last year, Nate Diaz managed to land a fourth round guillotine choke submission win over former interim lightweight champion, Tony Ferguson.
As for Paul, the outspoken Ohio native has yet to feature since suffering his first professional loss back in February in Saudi Arabia, suffering a close, split decision loss to reality television star, Tommy Fury – the half brother of WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury.
And despite closing as a massive betting underdog on multiple markets ahead of his boxing debut against Paul tonight in Texas, Diaz has been backed – to the tune of $250,000 by Canadian rapper, Drake.
“Jake (Paul) is a dog but I can never bet against a Diaz brother,” Drake wrote in a caption on his official Instagram Stories. “That’s just how I was raised.”
With a stunning stake of a quarter of a million placed on Stockton fan-favorite, Diaz, a victory for the Californian over Paul – who land Drake a spectacular $1,000,000,00 return.
Earlier this week, Paul and Diaz shared the stage in an expletive-filled press conference, with both fighter’s security team brawling following a tense face-off.

A planned August 12. heavyweight rematch between former world champion, Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte has been shelved, after “adverse analytical findings” were returned after a random drug test submitted by the latter.
Per an official statement from Matchroom Boxing, Anthony Joshua’s scheduled heavyweight rematch with Whyte – which was slated to take place next weekend in London, has now been cancelled following the anti-doping violation.
“5 August 2023 – Today, the Voluntary Anti-Doping Assocaiation [VADA] informed Matchroom, the Association of Boxing Commissions, and the British Boxing Board of Control that Dillian Whyte had returned adverse analytical findings as part of a random anti-doping protocol,” A statement released read.”
“In light of the new, the fight will be cancelled, and a full investigation will be conducted. Further information on the event will follow.”
Initially sharing the ring back in December 2015 at The O2 Arena in the capital, Joshua managed to clinch the British heavyweight title with a seventh round knockout win over Whyte.
In his most recent outing, former world heavyweight champion, Joshua, 33, snapped a run of two consecutive losses to current champion, Oleksandr Usyk – with a unanimous decision win over common-foe, Jermaine Franklin back in April in London.
As for Whyte, the 35-year-old Jamaican-born fighter himself most recently landed a win over common-foe, Franklin, defeating the American heavyweight back in November with a majority decision victory.
The triumph propelled Whyte back to the winner’s enclosure following a WBC heavyweight title challenge loss to incumbent gold holder, Tyson Fury earlier last year, after he had earned a championship try with a stunning rematch knockout of Alexander Povetkin.
With the future of Joshua currently unclear, the Watford native was linked with a subsequent showdown with former WBC heavyweight titleholder, Deontay Wilder later this year following his planned return against Whyte next weekend.
