The former BMF then added, “Nate has so much experience. But he’s also catching Nate on the way down, you know. So I think there’s a lot of plusses for Jake. But, Nate’s Nate. The deeper that fight goes, I mean… It’s going to be a fight.”
Therefore, Masvidal feels Jake Paul needs to get it done early if he wants to beat Nate Diaz. Masvidal then spoke about Nate’s knockout power and whether Paul could handle it. He said, “I didn’t think that Nate had power. But also, I know how Nate works. He’s just throwing like… He wants to get you through accumulation.”
So like most other experts, Masvidal believes Jake Paul can beat Nate Diaz if he doesn’t allow Diaz to settle. And he’s right in saying Nate Diaz is more dangerous the longer the fight goes on.
