Nate Diaz makes Jake Paul request as UFC legend targets switch to boxing

Nate Diaz has asked Jake Paul and Anderson Silva to sort him out with ringside tickets for their fight on October 29.

Paul will compete in his sixth professional fight against 48-year-old UFC legend Silva, who holds a record of 3-1 in the squared circle. Since ditching his YouTube fame to challenge himself in the ring, Paul has split the opinions of the combat sports world but is undoubtedly one of the most talked about fighters in the world.

Diaz has been linked to a fight against Paul and can now entertain the opportunity having fought out of his UFC contract by submitting Tony Ferguson at UFC 279 in his last outing for the promotion. Despite the disparity in age between the pair, Silva is widely considered Paul's toughest opponent to date and Diaz wants ringside seats to watch the fight.
