Key Takeaway
Nate Diaz has publicly expressed his desire for a rematch with Jake Paul on December 15. Despite their previous bout resulting in a victory for Paul, Diaz remains confident in his ability to defeat the YouTube star-turned-boxer.
While Jake Paul recently announced his return to the boxing ring in mid-December, he has yet to reveal his opponent. However, Diaz, aged 38, has made it known that he wants the fight and even took to Instagram to promote the potential rematch.
In an Instagram caption, Diaz wrote, “Rematch December. You ain’t got nobody to fight. So I’ll beat your ass on Dec 15th.”
It is worth noting that the two fighters previously faced off in August, with Diaz suffering a defeat by unanimous decision. Although Paul managed to knock Diaz down during the fight, it was an entertaining bout overall.
While opinions on a rematch between Diaz and Paul are divided, there are notable MMA fighters who are eager to witness the second showdown, including Anthony Pettis, Roy Nelson, and BJ Penn.
Commenting on Diaz’s Instagram post, Penn wrote, “Easy money! Nate will hurt him when they step in the ring again.”
However, Paul responded to Diaz’s challenge by suggesting a fight with Derek from Betr, who has had previous conflicts with Diaz. This indicates that a second showdown between Jake Paul and Nate Diaz may not be in the cards.
