Jake Paul makes two-fight offer to Nate Diaz including rematch in MMA cage

Jake Paul has made a two-fight offer to face Nate Diaz, with the rematch taking place inside the MMA cage under the PFL banner.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer will transition to MMA later this year after signing with the Professional Fighters' League, arguably the No.2 promotion in the sport, and wants to waste no time taking on a tough veteran. The pair have been eyeing up a fight for over a year, with Diaz showing up at the last two of Paul's events, and now a sweetener could be put on the deal.

Paul has offered that he and Diaz first fight in the boxing ring, before taking their rivalry into the PFL's 'smart cage' where they would fight under full professional MMA rules. The Ohio native has never competed in MMA before despite his boxing and wrestling backgrounds, while his rival is a 34-fight veteran.
