HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. – MMA Kings head coach Rafael Cordeiro knows a thing or two about adjustments in the fight game, and has some advice for Nate Diaz and Jake Paul.
Diaz is set to face Paul in an eight-round boxing match on Aug. 5, in what will be a change of combat sports scenery for the UFC veteran. After 34 professional MMA bouts, 27 of which were in the UFC, Diaz is lacing up the boxing gloves to take on the Youtuber-turned-boxer Paul at American Airlines Center in Dallas.
While MMA fighters typically train boxing as a part of their usual fight camp, Cordeiro knows if they want to succeed in this current wave of MMA veterans trying their hands in the boxing ring, they must adjust their focus.
