Jorge Masvidal

Kamaru Usman, former UFC welterweight champion, has spoken out about Jake Paul's chances in MMA rules bouts against Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz. Kamaru noted that he wouldn't be surprised to see Jake win those confrontations.

"Honestly, it's a time where anything can happen. I don't really know what to think. To say that Jake doesn't have a chance is complete nonsense. Everyone has a chance. Like I said, the world has been turned upside down. It's not all that unrealistic. Everything can happen," - stated the fighter.

Recall, earlier Jake Paul called a whole list of MMA fighters, who, according to him, refuse to fight with him.

Today, boxing blogger Jake Paul trashed MMA fighters who won't have a boxing match with him. Jorge Masvidal was among those fighters. Paul later explained why Jorge refuses to fight him.

"That's why they don't want Masvidal to box with me. The UFC has given Jorge a list of 35 names he's allowed to box with. Technically, he still has a contract with the UFC. He can fight Nate, there's another list of 35 names, but I'm not on that list," Jake said on the BS w/ Jake Paul YouTube channel.

Recall, his next fight Paul will hold against Mike Tyson.

Paulino Hernandez, trainer of Jorge Masvidal, gave his prediction for his ward's upcoming boxing bout with Nate Diaz.

"Jorge has already competed in the boxing ring, so he has some experience. He's had one fight in boxing and won. I think Jorge knows well how to beat Diaz. They fought under MMA rules. Now they will fight under boxing rules, which is different in that there are no elbows, knees and leg kicks. but Jorge is excellent with his hands. He is well prepared, and we are confident that we will win by knockout," said Hernandez

Recall that the bout between Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz will take place on June 1.

Former UFC welterweight title challenger Jorge Masvidal commented on Max Holloway winning the symbolic belt BMF ("The toughest motherfucker").

Recall that on April 13 at UFC 300 in Las Vegas, USA, Holloway spectacularly knocked out Justin Gaethje in the last second of the fight.

"It's so great that Max has that belt now. I don't think there's a better asshole to hold it. It's a BMF title, and he realizes what it's all about. One fighter shouldn't be left on his feet. It was the greatest damn moment in history. At worst Max was winning 3-2, I had him winning the fight cleanly. Gaethje had his moments, but he wasn't in control," Masvidal said on The MMA Hour show.

Former UFC fighter Nate Diaz in his typical style refused to promote his upcoming boxing bout with Jorge Masvidal. The fighters decided to do a tour before the fight, visiting Las Vegas, New York, Miami and Los Angeles. And that last conference was derailed by Diaz's unwillingness to communicate with Masvidal.

"That's it, sick of this shit. "I'm sick of this shit. I don't give a shit, I don't want no part of it. Jorge is going to fuck himself and his whole team. Battle of the eyes with yourself, asshole," - said Nate and left the event.

Recall, the first fight between Diaz and Masvidal took place in 2019 in the UFC, and then Jorge won. And the rematch under the rules of boxing will be held on June 1.
