Nate Diaz

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.

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 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.

American mixed martial arts veteran Nate Diaz has expressed that UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards is currently the best fighter in the promotion.

American mixed martial arts veteran and boxer Nate Diaz has promised that one day he will definitely have a third fight with former UFC two-weight champion Conor McGregor.

"I 100 percent guarantee that I will fight Conor McGregor again. I also want rematches against Jake Paul, Leon Edwards and Jorge Masvidal. This is my list", - said Diaz at a press conference dedicated to his boxing fight with Jorge Masvidal.

Recall, McGregor and Diaz had two fights in the UFC. In March 2016, the American shocked the world of mixed martial arts, winning by choke hold. Five months later, the Irishman took a rematch, winning his opponent by majority decision of the judges.
