UFC legend Nate Diaz told fighting Jake Paul wouldn't be a "good idea"

Nate Diaz has been advised to avoid a fight with Jake Paul following the YouTuber-turned-boxer's win over Anderson Silva.

Paul, 25, picked up his sixth professional win this past weekend by winning a unanimous decision against 47-year-old UFC legend Silva. Diaz was in attendance for the event to watch his friend Chris Avila compete, but he was booted out of the arena before the main event took place after clashing with members of Paul's entourage backstage.

Diaz was name-dropped by Paul alongside Canelo Alvarez in his post-fight interview after beating Silva, but former UFC champion Michel Bisping isn't confident of Diaz's chances against 'The Problem Child'. "With boxing gloves on, I don’t think it will be a good idea for Nate Diaz," Bisping said on his podcast Believe You Me.
