Nate Diaz's fellow lightweight MMA fighter Bobby Green has backed him to finally hand Jake Paul a stoppage loss when the pair meet in August.
Diaz and Paul will meet at the American Airlines Center in Dallas on August 5 after years of back-and-forth, with many believing that after his exploits against other MMA fighters that Paul should win. But UFC star Green has picked the former octagon icon to win in his professional boxing debut against the YouTuber.
Paul first encountered Diaz when his teammate Anthony Taylor fought Chris Avila on the undercard of his rematch with Tyron Woodley at the end of 2021. There were incidents throughout fight week, but after defeating Taylor, Avila was invited back for his next bout with Silva where he defeated YouTuber Dr Mike Varshavski. It was there that Diaz and Paul first got into it backstage.
