Jake Paul responds to Nate Diaz demanding to be released from UFC contract

Jake Paul has told the UFC to "free Nate Diaz" so that he can fight him in August after the veteran welterweight demanded his release from the promotion.

Diaz took to social media on Saturday to demand the UFC release him from his contract, despite him having one more fight on his deal.

The 36-year-old won The Ultimate Fighter in 2007 and went on to become a mainstay in the leading MMA promotion. He lost his only title challenge when he was outpointed by Benson Henderson but went on to be involved in a succession of exciting bouts, including two against Conor McGregor.
