Jake Paul offers to fight Nate Diaz for free in final bout of star's UFC contract

Jake Paul is willing to face Nate Diaz in the UFC octagon free of charge, if the promotion make changes to their pay structure.

YouTube star Paul has offered to help free Diaz from his UFC contract dispute by stepping in as the final opponent on his deal. But in return, he wants president Dana White to increase the minimum fighter payout from its current $12,000 to a considerably larger $50,000.

The social media sensation is 5-0 as a professional boxer, and will look to improve to 6-0 on August 6 against Hasim Rahman Jr at Madison Square Garden. But his combat sports beginnings were as a high school wrestler in Ohio, and MMA has always been the sport of choice for both he and his brother Logan.
