Jake Paul dismisses potential Conor McGregor fight after Nate Diaz win: ‘He needs to go to rehab’

DALLAS – Jake Paul knows what he wants to do next after defeating Nate Diaz in their boxing match, and it’s not a showdown with Conor McGregor.

Paul (7-1) defeated Diaz (0-1) by unanimous decision on Saturday at American Airlines Center, rebounding from his lone career loss against Tommy Fury earlier this year. It was arguably his best performance to date, and one he said put his career back on its necessary trajectory.

“There’s this pressure off,” Paul told MMA Junkie and other reporters at the post-fight news conference. “I know I’m meant to be here and I did exactly what I said I was going to do, which is when I lost, I came back and got better. I showed the world how to lose on the biggest stage and then come back and win on the biggest stage.”
