Jake Paul has got the version of Nate Diaz he expected as the weeks wind down to their boxing match.
Diaz is set to make his first post-UFC appearance on Aug. 5 when he takes on Paul in his professional boxing debut. The 10-round, 185-pound fight takes place at American Airlines Center in Dallas and airs on pay-per-view.
After spending more than 15 years under the UFC banner, Diaz was able to free himself from the promotion and set up a bout with Paul. The former UFC title challenger has build a reputation as a no-nonsense individual who doesn’t shy from confrontation in the lead up to a fight.
