Nate Diaz will have to fight in the UFC for one final time before he can consider facing Jake Paul.
Diaz has just one fight remaining on his current deal with the UFC and has yet to identify an opponent despite a lengthy search. The 37-year-old has begged to be released from his contract on multiple occasions.
In his most recent call to be released, Diaz teased a boxing fight with Paul by posting an image of his rival's knockout of Tyron Woodley, with the caption: "UFC release [me] now please or give me fight with anyone in July or August I have bigger s*** to do."
