CLEVELAND, OHIO: Jake Paul is one of the most well-known names in the influencer industry and YouTube boxing. Since making the switch to professional boxing, Paul has been building to his already impressive record by taking on mixed martial artists who want to give the ring a shot.

Before their boxing match on August 5, Jake offered Nate a two-fight deal, with the first battle taking place in the boxing ring and the second in the MMA cage. Nate agreed, but only with the proviso that it not happen in the PFL since he had "no connection" to the promotion.

During a conversation, Paul brought up the subject. He stated, “We’re at the drawing board right now. Nate Diaz ducked the $10 million offer, so he’s not the bada*s that everyone said he was."

He continued, “I wanted to fight him in MMA and do something that no boxer has really ever done, which is, in the prime of their career, go over to MMA. MMA fighters have gone over to boxing, but I want to go over to MMA and Nate Diaz ducked the offer.”

A fan page on 'X' (previously known as Twitter), shared a clip, "NateDiaz is ducking @jakepaul's offer of MMA fight. All you MMA fans cry jake is not a real fighter. But Jake is the first boxer in history of boxing to cross over into MMA . Even Floyd Mayweather didnt had the courage to do that."
