Nate Diaz believes he would have been boxing throughout his career had he not been forced to stay with the UFC.
The Stockton native fought out the final fight of his UFC contract by defeating Tony Ferguson at UFC 279 earlier this month to end his stint with a flourish. Diaz's win has put him in the shop window for a number of potential opponents in the boxing ring, as he looks to seek more lucrative reward for his fighting exploits.
One heavily-linked opponent is YouTube star Jake Paul who has already fought and defeated two former UFC fighters in the shape of Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley. And Diaz believes Paul is one of a number of options he could explore, and is even willing to step in with the sport's leading names.
