After the fight, Nate Diaz wasted no time and made his intentions clear. In his post-fight interview, Diaz called out Jake Paul for a rematch, aiming to avenge his previous loss by unanimous decision last year. “It feels good to get the job done for sure. Mission accomplished. I can feel the love out here in Cali every time, shout out California, it’s all love,” Diaz said.
He didn't stop there. Diaz also expressed his desire to fight the highest-ranked boxer he can find, underlining his ambition to be the best fighter in the world. “I’m going to beat Jake Paul’s f***ing a**, and I’m down to fight the highest-ranked boxer I can find. My main objective has always been to be the best fighter in the world, so I’m going to go back to get a UFC title. Leon Edwards, Jake Paul, anybody else, you’re dead,” Diaz declared.
Meanwhile, Jorge Masvidal, who felt the decision was unfair, voiced his disagreement in a fiery post-fight interview. “I thought I won, I thought I hit the harder shots. He had more volume, but I thought I landed the harder shots,” Masvidal said. He’s ready for another showdown, adding, “All glory to Jesus Christ, I thought I won, I’m definitely down to do it again.”
The rivalry between these fighters is far from over, and fans can expect more fireworks in the future. What do you think about McGregor’s confidence in Diaz? Do you believe Diaz can take on Jake Paul and reclaim UFC gold?
