He probably meant Nick. Or Joey Diaz
“He probably wants a certain amount of money to take the risk of losing to me,” Paul added. “I think it’s gonna happen though.”
The one thing standing in the way of Paul vs. Diaz, according to Jake? Diaz’s current fight against “Platinum” Mike Perry on the Rousey vs. Carano undercard. Perry has built a name for himself as bare knuckle boxing’s ‘King of Violence,’ and we’d pick him over the inconsistent Diaz in a boxing match any day.
“I think he will [beat Perry],” Paul said. “I think he will take him down and submit him.”
Will Diaz really take down Perry, though? Logically, it makes sense for Nate to do that, but the younger Diaz brother is unpredictable in and out of a fight. He recently turned down a trilogy fight with Conor McGregor because he wants to fight Charles Oliveira. He turned down $15 million to fight Jake Paul in MMA years ago. And yeah, we wouldn’t be surprised if he refuses to take his fight with Perry to the ground.
If he manages to win on May 16th, though, Jake Paul says a Nate Diaz fight is his top priority.
“If he beats Perry, then me versus Nate is probably the number one thing on the list,” Paul said. “Above Tommy Fury, above Francis Ngannou, above KSI.”
Nate is gonna lose to Perry though
Jake Paul has enough brain damage.
