This Saturday, August 5th, 2023, we will watch popular YouTuber turned boxer Jake (the Problem Child) Paul and former UFC star Nate (Diablo) Diaz battle it out at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. The fight will air on pay-per-view networks and has already garnished tons of interest with the two big names sitting on top of the main card.
This fight will be Jake Paul’s first ring appearance since his split-decision loss to Tommy Fury in February 2023. Jake Paul has a current boxing record of 6-1 with four knockouts but has faced severe backlash since most of his fights were against aging UFC stars and other YouTube personalities.
Nate Diaz has never boxed professionally before but was known for his extreme cardio in the UFC octagon. Diaz also had a 22-13 UFC record before departing from the UFC after his contract expired in late 2022. Below you can see the official weigh-in and how the two teams fought after Jake Paul told the crowd, “He’s a little b*tch.”
