LAS VEGAS – As one of the “real ninjas” of the fight game, Diaz keeps his eye on all things happening in the fight world, including the upcoming Jake Paul vs. Anderson Silva boxing match.
Silva, 47, will step into the boxing ring to face Paul, 25, at Gila River Arena in Phoenix on Oct. 29. While the skill and experience gap in combat sports is vastly in favor of Silva, the age discrepancy could lead to an unpredictable outcome.
“I’m interested in all combat,” Diaz told reporters, including MMA Junkie at UFC 279 media day Wednesday. Diaz, who is on the verge of becoming a fight promoter himself, is among those who are not counting out either competitor in this unthinkable matchup between former UFC champ and Youtuber.
