Jake Paul suffered his maiden career defeat against Tommy Fury and currently holds a pro-resume of 6-1. After a stellar run of wins that included his KOs against Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley, Paul fell prey to Tommy Fury’s technical boxing skills in his last outing. To return from that setback, ‘The Problem Child’ has opted to face one of the most legendary fighters of the generation.
Nate Diaz submitted Tony Ferguson at UFC 279 and ended his contract with the promotion with a remarkable win in his favor. Since beating Anthony Pettis in August 2019, Diaz had failed against Jorge Masvidal and Leon Edwards before finally getting a win over ‘El Cucuy’.
In a pro-MMA career of 22 wins and 13 losses, Nate Diaz has beaten some of the finest fighters of his time, like Conor McGregor, Anthony Pettis, and Jim Miller amongst others. Diaz’s MMA resume may not look impressive, but he is a massive fan favorite and an absolute superstar of the fight game.
