Nate Diaz opens as gigantic favorite in potential MMA fight against Jake Paul

Nate Diaz has opened as a massive betting favorite for a potential MMA fight against Jake Paul.

Diaz and Paul headlined a boxing pay-per-view on Saturday and it was ‘The Problem Child’ who got a decision win. After the fight, Paul confirmed his desire to rematch Diaz in MMA in the PFL as he wanted to prove he can beat the Stockton native under a mixed martial arts ruleset as well.

Nate Diaz, meanwhile, did show some interest in a potential MMA rematch in PFL but wants it co-promoted with his promotion Real Fight Inc.

“Right now, we’re going to go home and we’re going to talk about it, and we’re going to figure out whether we want to do MMA or boxing, and then we’ll see what they want to do,” Diaz said after the event. “They said they wanted to do the PFL thing, and I think that if we want to do that, we’re going to have to co-promote and do Real Fight vs. PFL, and I’m with that. But my goal is to get a rematch in any art.” We’re going to see what happens with him, see if he really wants to do that,” Diaz added. “If not, I’ll be back in this hunting him down too. Either way is fine with me.”
