Nate Diaz has reacted to the rise of YouTube boxing star Jake Paul and his relentless pursuit of MMA fighters over the past few months.

Paul transitioned to professional boxing in 2020 and enjoyed some success against extremely low-level opposition. Most notably, the 24-year-old knocked out former NBA player Nate Robinson on the undercard of Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr.

Since then, Paul has been trying to secure a fight with SBG teammates Conor McGregor and Dillon Danis. He even suggested a fight with Diaz was on the table after signing on to fight former Bellator and ONE Championship titleholder Ben Askren on April 17.

Diaz told ESPN that he is open to fighting Paul down the line

“No, not at that moment, no. But, at some point for sure,” Diaz said.

The UFC fan favourite hasn’t enjoyed seeing Paul’s pursuit of “real” fighters.

“He was just talking some serious fighting words to Conor,” Diaz said. “When I said something it was because he was saying stuff to Conor and those are some real fighting words for a guy who is signed to fight in a real fight. You are challenging us to a boxing match with real fighting words. No one is going to speak, even Conor doesn’t want to give him any clout.

“Someone needs to tell this guy to shut up, I wasn’t trying to have anybody’s back. But, you are talking fighting words, it doesn’t make no sense when people do that,” Diaz added. “It is like people talking like that and challenging somebody to a basketball (game). Boxing is just boxing it is only one-piece of a fight. So, someone is going to f**k you up if you don’t watch it.” (Transcribed by BJPENN.com)

YouTube celebrity turned professional boxer Jake Paul is not impressed after seeing his next opponent, Ben Askren, hit the bag for the first time.

Paul transitioned to the sport last year and has enjoyed success against extremely low-level opponents. Most notably Paul knocked out former NBA player Nate Robinson on the undercard of Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. on November 28.

Next, he’ll face an actual fighter for the first time in Askren. ‘Funky’ retired from the MMA in 2019 after enjoying a wildly successful career that saw him hold titles in Bellator and ONE Championship.

Luckily for the social media star, Askren is primarily known or his elite level wrestling and lack of striking ability.

According to Triller founder Ryan Kavanaugh, the fight will be contested on April 17 with ten-ounce gloves in a twenty-by-twenty ring. The card will feature popular names from boxing, MMA, and social media competing in the squared circle.

Earlier this week Askren jokingly posted a clip to social media of him hitting a heavy bad with Paul’s face on.

In an interview with TMZ, Paul revealed he was amused but impressed by what he had seen.

“It’s funny, bro. I’m starting to like Ben, oddly enough,” Paul said. “He’s funny. He’s entertaining me right now. I thought that was hilarious. I thought, ‘Bro, what are you doing?’ Like what is that? And it looks like his hands are so small. It looks like he has tiny hands in that video,” Paul said.

“Hopefully, he’s just joking,” Paul added. “Hopefully, he’s just trolling. But Ben’s doing a good job to promote the fight, but it doesn’t change the fact that I’m going to knock him out in one round. This guy fights and looks like a middle-aged Dutch woman.”

Do you think Ben Askren was actually trolling Jake Paul with the clip?

YouTube star Jake Paul wrote a poem in response Floyd Mayweather suggesting they will fight later this year.

‘Money’ took to social media last night to reveal he is planning to take part in three exhibition bouts in 2021. The boxing legend said his postponed fight with Logan Paul will go ahead as planned. Mayweather also suggested Jake Paul and 50 Cent as potential opponents.

Paul got wind of the call out and directed the following poem at Mayweather.

“Dear Mr Mayweather, who runs your Instagram? They need to get paid better Do us a favour and stay off social media,” Paul said on social media. “You should focus on learning to read, retirement or maybe an encyclopedia. You call me out to fight, but you’re half my height. You might beat my brother but Jake Paul is a different type. F*** your proposition, I don’t to exhibitions. We can fight on my conditions. 50-50 commissions. Oh and we haven’t forgotten you tried training Nate to beat me. I left him on conscious on the canvas. Let’s hope you’re not that easy. A quick NBA knockout – he’s never boxing again. Speaking of NBA, who knocked up your daughter my friend? After I KO Askren on Triller April 17. I would love to fight you Floyd and punch you in those fake veneer ass teeth.”

Mayweather quickly responded to his “biggest fan” with the following.

“Jake Paul is talking about he don’t do exhibitions, them two bullshit boxing matches he had were exhibitions,” Mayweather wrote. “They were not against real professional boxers. And I don’t even play when it comes to education because millions of blacks got lynched just for reading. Let me see, you went to get a black boxing trainer, try to dress like you’re black, wear jewelry like black people, try to dance like black people, but you don’t want to be BLACK. All you do is jack black swag from us. You go from groupie fan to a fake professional fighter, this world is crazy.”

YouTube celebrity Jake Paul has already began smack talking his next opponent, Ben Askren and his wife Amy Askren.

Paul transitioned to boxing in 2020 and enjoyed great success against extremely low-level opponents. The 24-year-old most notably knocked out former NBA player Nate Robinson on the undercard of Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. He has since turned his attention to facing MMA fighters.

Last week it was announced Paul will face off against former Bellator and ONE Championship titleholder Askren in his third professional boxing match-up.

Askren is mostly known for his elite-level wrestling. He will end his retirement on April 17 and box professionally for the first time live on Triller pay-per-view.

In a recent interview with TMZ, Paul admitted he had been DM’ing his opponent’s wife.

“I’ve been DM’ing his (Ben Askren’s) wife a little bit on Instagram but I haven’t been talking to Ben at all,” Paul said. “She called me handsome so, I don’t know, seems kind of crazy. Who knows what’s going on over in the Askren house right now.”

Paul later called Amy Askren ‘thicc’ and suggested after the fight he may steal his opponents wife.

“She’s thicc, with lke two c’s – t-h-i-c-c,” Paul told Ariel Helwani.. “Thicc like she’s real thicc. So, I don’t know, like, I just thought she’s bad. I don’t know. I mean, maybe after I beat Ben. I don’t know.”

‘Funky’ laughed off the “awkward” smack talk.

“This is laugh out loud awkward!!! But yes @jakepaul I find my wife very attractive also LOL,” Askren wrote on social media.

Askren later asked his wife about her newfound internet fame and how she felt about being described as ‘thicc’ – check out what she had to say below.

Marvin Vettori Says Jake Paul Fight Is ‘Bullsh*t’, Disrespectful To Fighters

Count Marvin Vettori among those who aren’t too happy to see all the press surrounding Jake Paul.

Paul, a YouTube star, recently announced a boxing match against Ben Askren, a former UFC contender and champion in both Bellator and ONE. This will be the third boxing match of his career, after picking up knockouts over ex-NBA All-Star Nate Robinson and fellow internet celebrity AnEnsonGib. The amount of exposure and opportunities Paul has received so early into his career has rubbed many in the boxing and MMA communities the wrong way, especially given Paul’s antics towards his fellow competitors.

If a recent Tweet is anything to go by, Vettori is just the latest in a long line of fighters who have grown tired of seeing Paul.

“This Jake Paul bulls— is so disrespectful to all the real fighters,” Vettori wrote. “F— whoever is always trying to take shortcuts in this game. Hope I had the chance to punk this b—- in any training or fight. Blood sweat and tears is what this game is about and he’s none of this.”

Despite all the hate that is – perhaps justifiably – casted towards Paul, it’s not as though he doesn’t have his proponents. Welterweight contender Jorge Masvidal, who owns a five-second knockout over Askren, has been helping the YouTuber prepare for his fight. As well, UFC commentator Joe Rogan recently heaped praise on Paul, saying he believes the internet star has “very good striking technique.”

Regardless of how he feels about Paul, Vettori would probably be better off focusing on the challenges in front of him. ‘The Italian Dream’ is looking to build off an impressive 2020 that saw him earn victories over Karl Roberson and Jack Hermansson, and is expected to face former welterweight title challenger Darren Till on April 10. Vettori has only lost twice since joining the UFC ranks, including a split-decision loss to current 185-pound champ Israel Adesanya. A win over Till could go a long way to getting him his long sought after rematch against ‘The Last Stylebender’.
