Jake Paul is one night away from his next fight; his main reason behind picking up one more MMA fighter roots from the desire to accumulate large fortunes and gain some momentum before he can compete against a professional boxer again.
His fight against Nate Diaz does not promise to be very challenging as this is Nate’s boxing debut, and based on the sparring clips uploaded, fans and experts didn’t have positive comments to make. People believe Nate only has cardio to his advantage, and it will be interesting to see if Nate can shock everyone and become the first MMA fighter to beat Jake Paul.The UFC lightweight contender Dustin Poirier, also thinks like the majority; he believes Jake Paul will emerge victoriously this Saturday night.
Dustin Poirier on Paul vs Diaz
Recently on The MMA Hour, Dustin Poirier predicted Jake Paul vs Nate Diaz and in detail, explains why Paul has an edge over Diaz. “I think he could win. I just think he’s older, not as explosive, and his style,” Poirier said as quoted by mmafighting.com.
“Yes, it’s awkward. I think his boxing works, and he has good things he does, but for boxing, in a ring, against a boxer — not that Jake’s an incredible boxer with angles and stuff, but he’s dedicated himself to the craft and I know he’s young and strong and explosive, and all it takes is one shot.
Poirier further said: I think Jake is going to win, but I could be wrong. If Nate gets him tired, Jake punches himself out, we all know Nate has a gas tank. So we’ll see. “I don’t think Nate has the power to put Jake [out].
Jake is big, man. Jake is big compared to Nathan. Boxing gloves, that pitty-pat style, I think it’s going to be hard to put Jake away”.
