Diaz Fires Back at Paul's MMA Callout

Nate Diaz has responded to Jake Paul's MMA callout with four words: "Pull the f— up Jake."

Paul issued the challenge after announcing the merger between Most Valuable Promotions and the Professional Fighters League, which opens the door for him to compete in MMA for the first time beginning in 2027: "Now, with this new partnership, I'm going to get into the cage. Nate Diaz, stop ducking."

Diaz didn't take long to respond. The pair have history. Paul beat Diaz in a boxing match, with the pair subsequently agreeing to settle things in the cage. Diaz last competed in MMA earlier this year, suffering a TKO loss to Mike Perry. Paul hasn't fought since his knockout defeat to Anthony Joshua. A cage fight between the two now has a realistic home — and both men appear ready to make it happen.
