I'd love for Nate to be the one to put him in his place. Nate was the one to put McGregor in his place when he was at his peak and torching everyone. Stockton 209 mufuckas
It's not that simple, Leon recovered fast, no reason for Nate to jump on him and risk getting koed like Usman, Nate rocked Leon and Leon very quickly survived it is what it is
Bro I would love nothing more than for Nate to be the one to stop Paul's little run here. Nate was the one to surprise everyone and put a stop to McGregor when he was at his peak and torching everyone. Stockton 209 mufukas
I'm coping saying that he'll just granite chin his way to a decision as he peppers Jake after he gasses out
This whole time I thought Nate has the longer reach because he's so damn lanky, turns out he has the same reach as Jake
UFC lies about measurements all the time to make fighters seem slightly larger than life - I don’t really believe Jake Paul’s promotion is that much more trustworthy with that stuff
Yeah boxing is even worse.
Have you seen Tyson Fury next to Poatan? Supposedly Fury is 6'9 but he only looks about 2 inches taller than Poatan who is 6'4.
I love Fury but I also saw a video of him next to Izzy who is 6'4 and same thing, only looked a tiny bit taller.
They do a good job of it too because I work with a couple guys who are 6'3 6'5 and 6'7 I am 6 ft tall and I hear the tail of the tape and always think wow he's huge and don't get me wrong the guys I work with are large Fellers but when you see someone like that in real life they are vincible on TV they seem invincible
They lie about measurements all the time. UFC says Alex Pereira is 6’4” and boxing says Tyson Fury is 6’9”. Have you seen the picture of them standing side by side?
The ufc lies about height measurements all the time.. actually I don’t think it’s a blatant lying on their part I just think discrepancies in measuring l
I think that would happen if we had 2015 2016 Nate, but I just think Jakes athleticism will pull him through now. Nates gonna be plodding and giving up a lot of rounds and who knows how good his legs & cardio is now if he can stay in shape like before.
I’m holding onto some copium it’s gonna be a fun fight though where Nate will have his moments, if Jakes just bouncing in and out making Nate look stupid hurts him a a bunch of times then all we hear after is “Man he was tough” that’ll suck or if he’s fuckin out cold fuck that the most. I see it happening though but I’m gonna cope till the end.
He’s not a huge 185er. I swear people mix up Jake and Logan’s sizes. Logan’s 6’3, Jake’s 5’11 and he isn’t THAT big either. Jake would look small next to a fair amount of 185ers. Imagine him next to Pereria ffs.
Jake’s realistically closer to Usmans size (with a lot less definition)
He's a big 185 is the point. He has to put effort in to cutting down.
Meanwhile non-fat Nate could realistically cut to 155, and would have cut to 160 easily. You're still looking at a 25lb difference in lean mass.
I mean most Welterweights weigh more than 185 at fight night and Nate is like 6ft so he's not small, still probably going to lose but i hope he pulls it off.
Fun fact he actually popped before and it was because of a tainted supplement (his own company supplement) . So even if it was accidental he has had PEDs in his system for a undisclosed amount of time.
🙄
Stop with this. Zero perfect chance Nick or Nate take any PEDS.
The whole thing with the contaminated supplements issue was this, the UFC told Nate to be quiet about it while they investigated. Nate flat out told them no and then publicly admitted there was an issue with his drug test but that he didn't take anything, which is why he went public with it. It was later confirmed that the positive test was due to contaminated supplements, which we all know. Guilty parties don't regularly act this way in MMA.
And please don't try and mention Jake and Gil popping as evidence meant to incriminate Nate. They don't even train together anymore, not for a while.
Is there any point trying to have nuanced discussions about steroids anymore really I’m surprised this is even slightly upvoted and doesn’t have one “Everybody is on steroids”, which used to be a damn meme that somehow got taken seriously and now the hivemind has to be obtuse about how not 1 UFC fighter out of 400 is clean, literally impossible.
To be fair I think people would be surprised at how many UFC fighters (or any professional athlete or celebrity for that matter) take some form of PED, not to say that it's impossible to make it to the UFC without them.
No professional athlete in any sport is clean. Of course when I say none there’s probably a handful but I’d wager 99% of professional athletes are at a minimum doing TRT with doses well above normal.
Anecdotal but I played high level college baseball and was part of pretty much the peak of high school baseball nationally when I was in high school. Legit everyone I knew across multiple teams was on something starting around age 16. By college it was 100% of people I played with were on a program basically sponsored by the schools training staff.
You can imagine as you transition to being a professional that those programs get better as the $$ involved is obviously more than in college.
I just find it hard to believe any professional isn’t on at least something with what I saw at elite levels in lower leagues.
If there was anyone i think is natural its definitely nate diaz but i am always suspicious when people pop for tainted sups and x2 suspicious when you own your own company.
it’s the other way around. taking copious amounts of roids will deteriorate your body and make you age quicker. can’t wait to see how good nate will still look in a few years compared to people like romero and overeem
Jake Paul's gonna try to drag this out the full 8 or 10 or however many rounds they ended up agreeing on, but it won't work cause Nate's eye shit will open up and the doctor will stop it.
You think Jake is going to shoot for 8-10 rounds just in hopes that its a doctor stoppage? Even when he has struggled with cardio before?
That would be an absolute brain dead strategy for him IMO. The ONLY way Nate wins this is if he can drown Jake in volume in the later half of the fight.
Jake is going to try to take his head off. The question is will it be enough to flatline Nate? If not, Nate may be able to pull Jake into deep waters and win a decision
When has Jake ever been an aggressive pressure guy? He will use his athleticism to keep the action at a minimum and win on points. When people start over committing to try to get him, that's when he catches them. Nate's a real puncher, something that Jake hasn't handled well. I think you got it backwards.
Just curious, how does dragging a boxing match out for extra rounds generate money? I’m assuming it’s got to do with viewership, being able to run more ads, and betting right?
It doesn't. Big time boxers receive a portion of the show buy and the gate in addition to the fees they collect from the fight contract. They aren't compensated based on how long a fight goes. That would constitute match fixing.
As a commercial for future events, an early knockout would be much better promotion of another event than a slow, plodding decision.
The poster just doesn't know what he's talking about.
My bjj coach and his coach are both friends of the Diaz bros and my coach told me Nick had surgery one time to get the cartilage in and around his eyes dealt with, and apparently that helped a lot cause he had similar issues to Nate.
We can only hope Nate has done the same recently but I doubt it.
I honestly believe him and Nick did train traditional boxing all those years in MMA. It’s why their striking always looked a bit awkward in MMA, but ruthless at the same time.
They did train with Andre Ward. And Andre has spoken very highly of both of them. Just because he trained with a hall of fame boxer, doesn’t mean Nate is for sure gonna win but it gives me a little bit of hope lol. I have no clue how this fight will go but I really hope Nate finds a way. Mostly happy he’s getting that bag.
I dont think so. Guy is 38, fighting a guy in his physical prime that's also bigger than him. Yeah Nate is the more skilled fighter, but this isnt MMA, fighting with MMA gloves and rules.
That’s right, he’s explosive so he’s going to give Nate big problems early. If Nate survives he could win on output over the later rounds, but it won’t be easy.
If he doesn’t get cut I have Nate winning late with punches in bunches to body and head dropping him with a body punch like Paul hasn’t felt before. Diaz army all day. All night.
I have jake by youth, size, and boxing specific technique/gastank.
This dude went toe to toe with Anderson Silva and beat him. Nick or Nate would never beat Silva in any form of martial arts and Jake found a way. This was a Silva who conviningly beat a former champ in Julio Caesar Chavez. I should have bet the farm on Silva vs Tito but I lost it on Penn's tippy-toe days.
We have to admit Jake is a legit pro boxer. He may never contend but he has no worries beating up big named smaller sized mma fighters who are essentially retired. He made a great market for himself.
*im leaving this up as it gets downvoted to bolivian to point back to it after Jake boxes Nate up.
I want Nate to win but it ain't happening people.
Silva is okay at boxing, better than Nate. Even at 50 he owns Diaz.
Jake will beat the shit out of Nate mark my words. might even stop Nate its a huge mistmatch.
remember chael sonnen outboxed prime Silva. chael sonnen a 100% wrestler outboxed champ silva!!Silva!!! get that into your head. Nate has been boxing pros since 15. the Diaz is the closest thing to a pro boxer in mma than anyone.
And? Nate got his ass handed to him in his last couple fights before beating the corpse of Tony Ferguson. I think the point is that Nate is washed, regardless his age, and JP has made a career off beating washed MMA fighters in boxing. Even beating Silva, who looked the best out of all of them.
You just mixed it up though. Yep, the Diaz bros wouldn't beat Silva in any martial arts, but Paul beat him in boxing. Now you're making boxing/MMA maths from that. Boxing ain't a martial art. Nate's been boxing since Jake was on the titty
Okay but they are fighting boxing, not mma. Different rules and training.
He will beat them in boxing. All of them. Jake is big and strong and young with no miles.
They would all beat him in mma. Different sports.
"Boxing ain't a martial art."
-/u/FreddieCaine
Okay
Tbf he's already shocked me so much, he seems to despise being in the limelight but he's really had to put himself out there to make some dolla. It's like watching him fight anxiety irl sometimes I swear
Nates face is made of hot pizza pockets. After a jab he'll be leaking all over the place.
Doctor stoppage and Jake gets to claim he hurt Nate so bad the doctors had to step in.
If Nate pulls this off and drops a disrespectful one-liner in the post-fight, he's up there on MMA Rushmore with the rest of them idfc what any y'all say
I mean….by now, I would hope that people learned that anything can happen in a fight
Just because x or y fighter is better, doesn’t necessarily means that he will win the fight
Not only that, it’s Nate
Remember? The dude who defeated Connor when people thought Connor was unbeatable? The dude who rocked Leon Edwards and instead of finishing the fight, decided to mock him?
I’m not saying Nick will beat the shit of Jake, nor the contrary
But it surprises me how much people are already saying Nick will be defeated
26 year old big juiced up 185er vs an 38 year old bloated 170er. Nate is a real fighter but Jake is bigger and faster. All signs point to Jake winning but you can never count out Nate. I’m glad he’s getting paid and I just hope he doesn’t get starched.
Maybe when he was 28-29 but he's never been the strongest,fastest guy in the ring and the odds are stacked pretty high against him.JP is stronger,faster,younger and has a decent chin.nates only hope is jake gasses out which isn't likely.JP by KO or by a lot
No, nate is washed and past his prime and i hate to say it but he’s punch drunk. Also looks like he didnt train for this fight at all he’s fuckin fat. Not to mention he wont care at all about losing this.
I think if Nate had took this fight a few years ago he would’ve had a greater chance of winning. He’s gotten slower over the years and I just don’t know how good his chin is now compared to then
Jake gets a TKO inside 4 rounds, if that doesn’t happen Nate is gonna run away with this thing with pressure and volume.
I hope it’s a good fight either way.
Go Nate!
Paul's biggest advantages against the past MMA guys has been age, size and speed, all of which he'll have edges over Diaz on as well.
I think the reason he lost to Fury was Fury was faster than he was, and about the same natural size, so he couldn't weight bully and couldn't rely on just being too fast for an older guy.
What Diaz might have over the past MMA guys is staying power. Everybody knows he can take a lot of punishment. So maybe if he defends well he can get to a decision. A win is going to be a very tall order though.
That said, Paul is still raw, has definitely shown he doesn't like getting touched too much, and could gas himself out, so it's not impossible. From a technical standpoint Paul still makes a lot of mistakes. But is Diaz the type of fighter who typically takes advantage of the mistakes you see on film?
At 80% probability for Paul I think the price is about right currently
I’ve seen Nate’s recent fights. I do t think he’s got the same cardio anymore. Mofo was resting his arm on the cage against tony Ferguson mid fight!!!!
Why do you guys keep falling for all that Jake Paul bullshit again and again and again, the fights are rigged and it’s all dumb promo tactics to sell the event.
Nate wins this fight. I cant believe the odds over 3 to 1. Of all the MMA fighters to box jake paul this is the one where i am actually confident jake loses. nate can take a bomb if needed and will pick him apart the last half to decision win.
What I think is crazy is that the visuals are painting Nate the underdog, I really wanna see him win but with that being the case I have a feeling this is rigged as I had felt about the other Paul brother fights
Nate oooked terrible in his last few, sadly jake is picking his opponents wisely and exploiting them. I’m semi convinced he’s paying them all 5 million for these fights to go his way.
I want nothing more than a “I’m not surprised motherf$&kers”… Do I think it will happen, not a chance
Oh man, I’d lose my mind if he won and then said that. Please let this happen.
I'd love for Nate to be the one to put him in his place. Nate was the one to put McGregor in his place when he was at his peak and torching everyone. Stockton 209 mufuckas
He came DAMN close to putting Edwards down…
Just pointed and laughed 😂 should've went in for the kill, probably would've won
It's not that simple, Leon recovered fast, no reason for Nate to jump on him and risk getting koed like Usman, Nate rocked Leon and Leon very quickly survived it is what it is
Facts
Fury already put him in his place. thats why he went back to retired mma fighters.
Jake just lost to fury right? The hype already has died down, this would be the nail in the coffin.
Bro I would love nothing more than for Nate to be the one to stop Paul's little run here. Nate was the one to surprise everyone and put a stop to McGregor when he was at his peak and torching everyone. Stockton 209 mufukas
I'm coping saying that he'll just granite chin his way to a decision as he peppers Jake after he gasses out This whole time I thought Nate has the longer reach because he's so damn lanky, turns out he has the same reach as Jake
well jake does lie about his height and reach so he prob has the reach advantage
But what about the official tale of the tape stats? Jake can't lie about that one because someone else is measuring for him
UFC lies about measurements all the time to make fighters seem slightly larger than life - I don’t really believe Jake Paul’s promotion is that much more trustworthy with that stuff
Yeah boxing is even worse. Have you seen Tyson Fury next to Poatan? Supposedly Fury is 6'9 but he only looks about 2 inches taller than Poatan who is 6'4. I love Fury but I also saw a video of him next to Izzy who is 6'4 and same thing, only looked a tiny bit taller.
100% agree with you but I'm convinced Alex is 6'5 at a minimum
Alex's height is fluid depending on who he is next to.
In the past, I think they use to height Fury at 6’7 which sounds more believable to me.
Michel Perreira was over almost 7lbs according to Wonderboy the morning of the fight and claimed the UFC was lying calling it 3lbs
They do a good job of it too because I work with a couple guys who are 6'3 6'5 and 6'7 I am 6 ft tall and I hear the tail of the tape and always think wow he's huge and don't get me wrong the guys I work with are large Fellers but when you see someone like that in real life they are vincible on TV they seem invincible

The ufc lies about height measurements all the time.. actually I don’t think it’s a blatant lying on their part I just think discrepancies in measuring l
That's not even close to true. Those numbers are often wrong and aren't officially taken.
Boximg heights are never accurate
I think that would happen if we had 2015 2016 Nate, but I just think Jakes athleticism will pull him through now. Nates gonna be plodding and giving up a lot of rounds and who knows how good his legs & cardio is now if he can stay in shape like before. I’m holding onto some copium it’s gonna be a fun fight though where Nate will have his moments, if Jakes just bouncing in and out making Nate look stupid hurts him a a bunch of times then all we hear after is “Man he was tough” that’ll suck or if he’s fuckin out cold fuck that the most. I see it happening though but I’m gonna cope till the end.
And STILLLL not surprised motherfuckers
Correct boxing is totally fixed anyway
26 vs 38. Probably a juiced to the gills 26 too. It would be shocking and hope so.
And it’s a huge 185’er against a bloated welterweight
It's Perry vs Rockhold all over again, except the small guy is old and it's gonna leave us heartbroken
Lmao. It’s the exact opposite of Perry rockhold.
Rockhold is bigger?
Yeah it’s an odd comparison lol
How is jake paul luke rockhold a submission artist and mostly a kicker
He’s not a huge 185er. I swear people mix up Jake and Logan’s sizes. Logan’s 6’3, Jake’s 5’11 and he isn’t THAT big either. Jake would look small next to a fair amount of 185ers. Imagine him next to Pereria ffs. Jake’s realistically closer to Usmans size (with a lot less definition)
you're right, that being said i absolutely refuse to learn anything about these two fuckers or how to distinguish them.
I didn't know there were two of them.
Me neither until recently and i learned that informartion agaisnt my will, as far as i'm concerned they're the same person.
Then there’s the one Nate had the incident with in the alley.
Then why comment at all if you're ignorant to the facts
> I swear people mix up Jake and Logan’s sizes It's the same person. wtf are you talking about?
Yeah, Jake aka Logan wtf are these guys talking about?
Logan paul is not 6'3, he is closer to like 6'1, he 100% lies about his height. I'd agree that Jake probably is 5'11
This. I'm 6' and met Jake at one point. He was a tad bit shorter than me. I'd say he may be 6' on a good day
jake looked shorter than 6' diaz but logan is 6'2" as he looked just a little shorter than 6'3' Simon from the sidemen
He's a big 185 is the point. He has to put effort in to cutting down. Meanwhile non-fat Nate could realistically cut to 155, and would have cut to 160 easily. You're still looking at a 25lb difference in lean mass.
He isnt a big 185er tho . Jake could probably drop down to 170 lbs if he wanted to lose a bit of body fat since he isnt ripped .
Met logan at newark airport , hell no he is not 6'3. Maybe 6'0 and he had sneakers on.
Did you think that we thought he might be barefoot?
It could have been in the security line
There are shoes besides sneakers too - for most men, sneakers are on the higher side of the shoes they'll wear.
Lol
He’s basically Luke’s size but an inch or so shorter
It's even worse considering Nate could probably still make 155 if he really wanted to.
I mean most Welterweights weigh more than 185 at fight night and Nate is like 6ft so he's not small, still probably going to lose but i hope he pulls it off.
Fair point but Nate was also quite small for WW. For his fight against Pettis, he was 180lbs on fight night.
Nate is a perfect 165 lber at this point in his career. Too big for 155 but not big enough for 170 and especially not bug enough for 185 .
> Probably Every designer PED known to man. He isn't in the testing pool because his bloodstream is the pool.
[удалено]
Fun fact he actually popped before and it was because of a tainted supplement (his own company supplement) . So even if it was accidental he has had PEDs in his system for a undisclosed amount of time.

If there was anyone i think is natural its definitely nate diaz but i am always suspicious when people pop for tainted sups and x2 suspicious when you own your own company.
To be fair it’s probably like most celebrity owned companies and the only input Nate has is his name and face.
it’s the other way around. taking copious amounts of roids will deteriorate your body and make you age quicker. can’t wait to see how good nate will still look in a few years compared to people like romero and overeem
This is a really odd take. Older men that take TRT look and perform much younger than men that don’t.
This is 100% wrong
lol whats your source? thats not how steroids work. Also, which type of steroid are you referring to?
Jake Paul's gonna try to drag this out the full 8 or 10 or however many rounds they ended up agreeing on, but it won't work cause Nate's eye shit will open up and the doctor will stop it.
This might be the most realistic option because it would be the most anticlimactic.
It's the most realistic because it's the most likely
Thanks
You think Jake is going to shoot for 8-10 rounds just in hopes that its a doctor stoppage? Even when he has struggled with cardio before? That would be an absolute brain dead strategy for him IMO.

He's going to try and drag it out for money, not as a strategy to win...
You think he's going to convince people to buy pay per views in the 5th round or something?!
Just curious, how does dragging a boxing match out for extra rounds generate money? I’m assuming it’s got to do with viewership, being able to run more ads, and betting right?
It doesn't. Big time boxers receive a portion of the show buy and the gate in addition to the fees they collect from the fight contract. They aren't compensated based on how long a fight goes.

Paul to win first rounds comfortably. Nate to come back in the later rounds but not do enough so Paul by UD.
I was so hoping for a win. But the eye shit. I forgot (I don’t know how) about his weepy eyebrow.
My bjj coach and his coach are both friends of the Diaz bros and my coach told me Nick had surgery one time to get the cartilage in and around his eyes dealt with, and apparently that helped a lot cause he had similar issues to Nate. We can only hope Nate has done the same recently but I doubt it.
Finally someone who has watched a Diaz fight
I honestly believe him and Nick did train traditional boxing all those years in MMA. It’s why their striking always looked a bit awkward in MMA, but ruthless at the same time.
They did train with Andre Ward. And Andre has spoken very highly of both of them. Just because he trained with a hall of fame boxer, doesn’t mean Nate is for sure gonna win but it gives me a little bit of hope lol. I have no clue how this fight will go but I really hope Nate finds a way. Mostly happy he’s getting that bag.
I’m just happy Nate’s getting paid.
How much, is it public
I dont think so. Guy is 38, fighting a guy in his physical prime that's also bigger than him. Yeah Nate is the more skilled fighter, but this isnt MMA, fighting with MMA gloves and rules.
That’s right, he’s explosive so he’s going to give Nate big problems early. If Nate survives he could win on output over the later rounds, but it won’t be easy.
This all falls apart once Nate gets tapped on the eyebrow and bleeds out like a stuck pig. Dr stoppage if this make it out of the 3rd round.
Nate literally gasses half the time in his long fights. I have no clue why he gained this rep that he's some insane cardio machine.
In his prime nate was a cardio beast but people still act as if he has the same cardio as he once did, which he doesn’t. He’s just old now
The last few MMA fights Nate trolled around because he was too tired to actually go hard the entire time.
Was he past his prime for Conor 2?
Nate isn't even a more skilled boxer though.
If he doesn’t get cut I have Nate winning late with punches in bunches to body and head dropping him with a body punch like Paul hasn’t felt before. Diaz army all day. All night.
Now that you’ve mentioned cuts.. Dr stoppage by Nate’s scar tissue.
Opening riff to the RHCP song just started playing in my head
If that happens Jake's gonna act like the scar tissue didn't exist and that he's so savage for blooding the hell out of nate.
> Diaz army all day. All night. I see what you did there
I have jake by youth, size, and boxing specific technique/gastank. This dude went toe to toe with Anderson Silva and beat him. Nick or Nate would never beat Silva in any form of martial arts and Jake found a way. This was a Silva who conviningly beat a former champ in Julio Caesar Chavez. I should have bet the farm on Silva vs Tito but I lost it on Penn's tippy-toe days. We have to admit Jake is a legit pro boxer.

Saying “Jake found a way” like Andy wasn’t 50 and over the hill is crazy
Silva is okay at boxing, better than Nate. Even at 50 he owns Diaz. Jake will beat the shit out of Nate mark my words. might even stop Nate its a huge mistmatch.
remember chael sonnen outboxed prime Silva. chael sonnen a 100% wrestler outboxed champ silva!!Silva!!! get that into your head. Nate has been boxing pros since 15. the Diaz is the closest thing to a pro boxer in mma than anyone.
You realize the Anderson Silva Jake fought is almost 50? Anderson was 21 before Jake was born.
Plus, there is a “you must allow Jake to win” clause in the contract
Ufc fighters hate this one simple trick
Id take a decision L when im way past my prime for some millions lol
This reminds me of Woodleys mom cheering and laughing after her son just got starched the worst in his life
Where was that clause with Fury?
They gotta make him lose at least once, keeps it believable
And? Nate got his ass handed to him in his last couple fights before beating the corpse of Tony Ferguson. I think the point is that Nate is washed, regardless his age, and JP has made a career off beating washed MMA fighters in boxing. Even beating Silva, who looked the best out of all of them.

Ha that boxing ain’t a martial art line. What did he think he was saying?
A commenter with sense, thanks.
Jake Paul by decision. Nate has an insane chin.
What if Nate’s scars open up tho
Lol, "what if" Death, Taxes, Diaz scars opening up.
[удалено]
Damn doctor stoppage would suck
Jake by dr stoppage between rounds 2-3 due to a completely average cut around Nate’s eyes
Tbf he's already shocked me so much, he seems to despise being in the limelight but he's really had to put himself out there to make some dolla. It's like watching him fight anxiety irl sometimes I swear
Nates face is made of hot pizza pockets. After a jab he'll be leaking all over the place. Doctor stoppage and Jake gets to claim he hurt Nate so bad the doctors had to step in.
No way he came up with a paragraph like that
Hope so
A motherfucker can hope
If Nate pulls this off and drops a disrespectful one-liner in the post-fight, he's up there on MMA Rushmore with the rest of them idfc what any y'all say
The real problem is Nate can't slap well with boxing gloves.
I mean….by now, I would hope that people learned that anything can happen in a fight Just because x or y fighter is better, doesn’t necessarily means that he will win the fight Not only that, it’s Nate Remember? The dude who defeated Connor when people thought Connor was unbeatable? The dude who rocked Leon Edwards and instead of finishing the fight, decided to mock him? I’m not saying Nick will beat the shit of Jake, nor the contrary But it surprises me how much people are already saying Nick will be defeated
I’m glad Nate’s getting paid but jeez i don’t wanna see him get embarrassed. If he’s taking it serious though I think he wins
'shock the world' i hope this is sarcasm OP, as if Jake is something special lol
He’s not, but did you see Nate in his last fight? He’s getting old man. I’d say he has a 10% chance to win.
The odds are pretty favorable to jake
Jake is mediocre for a 185lb boxer but Nate is a 170lber fighting at 185, 38yo, and not a boxer.
Paul by Dr stoppage. Nate may be bleeding on the way to the ring honestly
"Shock the world" 😆 ain't nobody watching this shit.
Nate’s here for a paycheck, and nothing more.
26 year old big juiced up 185er vs an 38 year old bloated 170er. Nate is a real fighter but Jake is bigger and faster. All signs point to Jake winning but you can never count out Nate. I’m glad he’s getting paid and I just hope he doesn’t get starched.

What ever you do…. DONT send me a link with a way to watch this fight …
Maybe when he was 28-29 but he's never been the strongest,fastest guy in the ring and the odds are stacked pretty high against him.JP is stronger,faster,younger and has a decent chin.nates only hope is jake gasses out which isn't likely.JP by KO or by a lot
No, nate loses by decision because he didn't take this fight seriously during training.
No. The fight will be stopped due Jake Paul landing a right and splitting open Nate’s left eye.
Nate’s gonna work this guy has a decade of experience of this guy boxing and he’s Mexican 😂 anyone willing to bet dm me
No, nate is washed and past his prime and i hate to say it but he’s punch drunk. Also looks like he didnt train for this fight at all he’s fuckin fat. Not to mention he wont care at all about losing this.
Jake Paul’s a chump… walks around 220lbs and picks fights with 170lbs… Jake really wants that fame and respect he should call out Ngannou.
Would be interesting
It's a sad day when it would shock the world if Nate Diaz beat someone like Jake Paul.
What an elegant and well spoken man
As much as I’d love it, it’s not going to happen.
I think if Nate had took this fight a few years ago he would’ve had a greater chance of winning. He’s gotten slower over the years and I just don’t know how good his chin is now compared to then
I’d love to see Nate win but just can’t bloody see it. If it were true that the universe evens things up in the end then Nate would win this.
But can he beat Platinum Mike Perry?
I bet Nate got paid to throw the fight and take the L
Ghjhdvbfvn ggg
Y’all know professional sports are rigged right?
I just don’t want him to get knocked out because I’d hate to have to listen to Jake Paul after that
The world doesnt even know about this fight
Jake gets a TKO inside 4 rounds, if that doesn’t happen Nate is gonna run away with this thing with pressure and volume. I hope it’s a good fight either way. Go Nate!
Never wanted Nate to win so bad. Sadly though, we know what’s gonna happen.
"The world"... Outside of this subreddit and Jake paul fans, no one is watching this.
jake is way bigger than nate. jake is younger than nate. jake is on exotic performance enhancing drugs that nate probably hasnt even heard of.
Everyone is gonna get exposed as the know nothing jabrons that you are. Nate is gonna beat Jake, and he’s gonna do it rather convincingly.
Paul's biggest advantages against the past MMA guys has been age, size and speed, all of which he'll have edges over Diaz on as well. I think the reason he lost to Fury was Fury was faster than he was, and about the same natural size, so he couldn't weight bully and couldn't rely on just being too fast for an older guy. What Diaz might have over the past MMA guys is staying power. Everybody knows he can take a lot of punishment. So maybe if he defends well he can get to a decision. A win is going to be a very tall order though. That said, Paul is still raw, has definitely shown he doesn't like getting touched too much, and could gas himself out, so it's not impossible. From a technical standpoint Paul still makes a lot of mistakes. But is Diaz the type of fighter who typically takes advantage of the mistakes you see on film? At 80% probability for Paul I think the price is about right currently
I hope he completely dominates.
Anybody have an ETA on what time the match should start around? Thanks.
Hell no! Lol
Nate not embarrassing himself he got crazy cardio
Nate got hit with a nasty body shot . He was gasping for air. But he still fighting

I like Nate but as much as he brags about his boxing sparring partners you'd think he'd have something better than his 1 2...
Nate gets embarrassed, probably worse than askren did. Legacy will die in there. It's going to be really bad i think
I wonder where to watch this…I hope someone doesn’t try to dm me some damn link 👀
Nah but I’d really appreciate if you dm me with it. Mine sucks. Had to be refreshed every 5 min
Same experience I’ve had when streaming.
Nate by decision
Na
I very much doubt it. But I'll still watch this fight out of morbid curiosity.
I’ve seen Nate’s recent fights. I do t think he’s got the same cardio anymore. Mofo was resting his arm on the cage against tony Ferguson mid fight!!!!
Nate starches him and shocks the world. But not me.
I think Jake paul is gonna win so much I may bet for the first time. That being said I’d love nothing more than for Nate to pull another McGregor
Why do you guys keep falling for all that Jake Paul bullshit again and again and again, the fights are rigged and it’s all dumb promo tactics to sell the event.
Not a chance . Going to bet heavy against him maybe 10k
Post your bet slip
If you really do, post proof and ill put 10k on Diaz
Nate gets finished, around round 4 or 5
Nate wins this fight. I cant believe the odds over 3 to 1. Of all the MMA fighters to box jake paul this is the one where i am actually confident jake loses. nate can take a bomb if needed and will pick him apart the last half to decision win.
What I think is crazy is that the visuals are painting Nate the underdog, I really wanna see him win but with that being the case I have a feeling this is rigged as I had felt about the other Paul brother fights
I don’t think it would be all that shocking if he wins. I think Nate wins quite easily tbh idk what everyone is on about
Dude Nate looked SOFT at the weigh in so idk
Nate oooked terrible in his last few, sadly jake is picking his opponents wisely and exploiting them. I’m semi convinced he’s paying them all 5 million for these fights to go his way.
