UFC boss Dana White has admitted that a fight between Nate Diaz and Jake Paul would "make sense" amid their contract dispute.
Diaz has been tipped as a future opponent for Paul, and according to Mirror Fighting sources was being set up as the rival for his ring return this summer. But he has one fight left on his deal with the UFC, and has been unable to get that bout through in time to move over to boxing and face the YouTuber.
Paul last fought in December, when he knocked out former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley, and had been eyeing up a meeting with Diaz. At the time, it appeared that the one-time lightweight title challenger would be facing Vicente Luque in January, but the fight fell through and he has been unable to arrange a final bout.
