Cormier: I think Diaz will fight Jake Paul

Former UFC champion in two weight divisions Daniel Cormier speculated on the topic of who could become the next opponent Nate Diaz.

On September 10 at UFC 279, Diaz defeated Tony Ferguson via submission. This fight was the last for the 37-year-old American under the contract with the leading promotion.

“I think Nate will fight Jake Paul. Everything is heading towards this fight. Nate is the type of fighter that Jake fights. The guy who doesn't compete anymore knows how to box, but he's not as dangerous as he looks.

All of this is in line with what Paul is looking for. Moreover, Jake has never fought someone who sells fights the way Nate does, ”Sportkeeda quotes Cormier.

Recall that just today, Jake Paul challenged Diaz to a duel.
