Nate Diaz and Jake Paul agreed to fight in MMA for rematch in PFL

[wlu.29]

Probably

Nate isnt serious about fighting, he just wants to show up and collect pay cheques

It'll end up on the ground at some point and Diaz will strangle him.

You tripping diaz would sub his ass by triangle while giving the birds

Diaz would never get him down imo.

Paul is smart with his training, I think he'd do exactly what he needs to in the time given before the fight, to fill the right gaps..

TS trying his hardest not to get the thread moved, lmao.

 

[Jinx_AA]

Considering Paul is 2 weight classes bigger - sure he’d have a chance

size does matter

Both stink though

Right on, the worldwide mma forum is irrelevant.. it's a ghost town at best.

Former high school wrestler. LOL

Theres a decent chance of that happening. If Jake actually takes that fight that in itself tells you he and his team think it can be done ,and they obviously understand risk management, stacking the deck in their favour as much as possible and protecting Jakes brand.

Nate is slow, washed up, they'd have him fight at 185lbs too. Add in that he barely kicks and doesnt really try to take the fight to the ground (in spite of his ground game) nor does he have the athleticism to aggressively wrestle even if he wanted to. Also that Jake has already tested his stand up now. Not hard to see why Jake might like the risk/reward of taking that fight.

I think from what we saw in "boxing" Nate would tear Jake up with knees in a clinch and just choke him out standing or get Jake to wrestling and easily submit him on the ground.

No matter what would happen I think Jake would earn a huge amount of respect for stepping into a cage and giving it a shot, but I don't see that happening with Conor being the bigger opportunity for Nate and his comment that anything with PFL would need to be a co promotion with REAL.

Slightly off topic, but I think there is a good chance we see Logan Paul in a UFC cage and do well.

Depends on how long Jake is secretly training mma(at least 2022 internet says). He will train till he feels he has a 90% chance.
He had some mma experience many years ago though.
Diaz will get older, smoke, party and get even more skinnyfat.

Hands: Jake knocks him out with mma gloves.
Nate's bjj could save him after a knockdown though.
Diaz has shitty kicks, but a few calf kicks could change the fight
Wrestling: Jake has highschool wrestling, but looked bad on the mat many years ago. This could've changed.
Weight favors Jake there

I saw Jake Paul tap.

I feel like with 3-6 months training Jake would have better calf / leg kicks than Nate tbh.

Jake won't let him take him down, so Diaz will only be able to spam guillotines / standing back take, which Jake will be ready for..

I think it could happen, the A level athlete theory would turn out to be true

 

[Dickie Greenleaf]

Paul wouldn't be easy to takedown. He's a lot more athletic than Nate and would be preparing with wrestling coaches who would be teaching him to pummel and dig for underhooks and shake Nate off. Not only that but Paul would be hitting Nate with 4oz gloves. This doesnt mean that Nate couldn't win but the odds would be against him.

 

[JakePaulMMA]

You guys are looking at this all wrong. Jake Paul is here ti save and change lives. He's like Jesus....people hated Jesus back then. They even wrote story books about it. Most this forum hates Jake Paul.

Jake is making everyone rich. Who do you want to have bringing eyes to the sport? Jake Paul, super rich, good rile model, young, has giant robot OR Dana trying to tell everybody drunk bar games are the future?

 

[mraa1]

I really don't think so and I don't think Diaz did nearly as bad in their boxing match as people are saying.

 

[xhaydenx]

Honestly, Jake probably club and subs Nate inside of 2 rounds at this point.
