Former Strikeforce and WEC champion Gilbert Melendez shared his impressions of his teammate's fight Nate Diaz in a fight with a boxing blogger Jake Paul.

Recall that last weekend the mixed martial arts star Diaz made an unsuccessful debut in professional boxing, losing to Paul by unanimous decision.

“In an MMA fight, Nate will destroy this guy. I would take a look at it with great pleasure. However, I would also be happy to see a rematch in boxing. I think that Nate was the best boxer that night, but the advantage in power was on the side of the younger fighter. The difference in dimensions also seriously affected.

But MMA is a different sport, everything is different here. I really hope that they will have a rematch, no matter what discipline it will be, ”Melendez is quoted by MMA Fighting.
