^ Fury was an actual boxer though. Nate Diaz is not. He’s most skilled in jiu jitsu which he will not be able to use. This is a step back for Jake, but it will be a more entertaining fight. Nate Diaz has so much scar tissue in his face he’s going to be bleeding like a stuck pig by the end of the second round. The pictures will be epic. I’m sure it’ll be the biggest payday of his life too.
Agreed. Jake Paul certainly knows how to choose his opponents hehe. Nate is a big name in MMA, he knows how box and the fight can certainly end in a technical knockout declared by the referee because of Nate's bleeding scar tissue on his eye brow. Also, has Nate been maintaining his weight before this announcement?
In any case, a shocking ending for this fight will be if Jake knocks out Nate. When was Nate knocked out in MMA? This was 2013 long ago hehehehe.
That is why he picked Nate Diaz because of his strong chin and come forward strategy its great to watch Nate fight because there are no dull minutes, Jake Paul will get his reputation back if he knocks out Nate Diaz, so many MMA fighters failed to knock him out.
Although Jake is the favorite to win the fight, Nate Diaz will have an idea of how to beat Jake Paul based on his last fight against Fury, I expect a lot of trash talks between the two to hype the fight.
He has returned to his well working strategy after failing with a pro boxer - fighting against former UFC fighters
Jake has started his strategy from very beginning, by fighting a guy whos prime combat sport isnt striking related Sort of a Gangsta Ben Askren Nate is a big UFC star, perfect match for ticket sales. One thing Jake did not take into account - Nate can have a smoke and start his usual "I dont care" promotion behaviour. So once again Jake will have to be the only one who will be trying to sell tickets and PPV.
