Jake Paul put his support behind Nate Diaz's Twitter campaign to get out of his "hostage" UFC contract by liking his tweet with the trending hashtag #FreeNateDiaz.
Paul has been angling for a fight with Diaz for the past year, but has been unable to enter into serious negotiations due to his exclusive UFC deal. Diaz has just one fight left on his contract, but the promotion have been dragging their heels on making that a reality on any of their upcoming events.
Diaz insists that he is fit and ready to go, and will even take an unfavourable match-up against the likes of Khamzat Chimaev in order to get out of his contract. It is expected that he would face Paul in a boxing match if he were allowed out of his deal, and he says that he would also like to compete in other sports like jiu-jitsu and kickboxing.
