Jorge Masvidal was not impressed by Jake Paul or Nate Diaz’s performances throughout their boxing bout final month.
Paul and Diaz fought 10 rounds in an expert boxing bout that noticed Paul get his hand raised with a call win. Masvidal, who was there stay for the competition, mentioned he wasn’t impressed with what both man did contained in the ring. In reality, “Gamebred” is fairly assured he’d “harm” both Diaz or Paul if he had been to field them, as he defined on The MMA Hour.
“I get with the ability set, they’re not going to be boxers,” Masvidal mentioned (through BJPenn.com). “They’re not going to maneuver like boxers, as a result of they’re not boxers by craft both. They may’ve been meaner. That’s why, watching that combat stay, I used to be like, I’m imply for actual bro. Quite a lot of the fellows in boxing are imply for actual.
“I didn’t have that feeling after I left that night time. I didn’t really feel like they had been making an attempt to kill one another, you understand? Or harm one another, or apply the candy science to its highest mastery. I’d harm these dudes, bro. Like unhealthy. I used to be there stay, I seen it man, it’s a distinct velocity.”
“Nate’s seen it, you possibly can ask Nate in regards to the velocity. If Jake was having bother [with Nate], you understand what I’d do to Jake man?”
Masvidal isn’t any stranger to Diaz. The pair headlined UFC 244 in November of 2019 in a highly-anticipated combat for the inaugural BMF Title. “Gamebred” placed on a dominant efficiency that ended with a TKO victory resulting from a physician stoppage after the third spherical.
There had been discuss a rematch between the pair, however with Masvidal now retired from blended martial arts (MMA) competitors, and Diaz not below contract with the UFC, that appears extremely unlikely. As a substitute, Diaz may choose to show round and rematch Paul in an MMA contest.
Nonetheless, it stays to be seen if that combat will really come to fruition, given Paul is below contract for MMA competitors with the Skilled Fighters League (PFL).
