"I have beat one of Nate's boys in sparring" - Jake Paul sends ominous warning to the Diaz brothers, says he's open to fighting them
Internet sensation Jake Paul has come out and claimed that he beat up one of Nate Diaz's teammates in a sparring session.
In an interview with MMA Fighting, 'The Problem Child' also stated that he is open to a fight with either of the Diaz brothers.
"I beat up one of Nate's [Diaz] boys in sparring and you know, he just thinks he's just like a super-tough guy, I mean he is, but not in this world, not when you come into the squared circle. It's a whole different sport, buddy. So, he can get this smoke or his brother or both of them in one night. You know, I see the guys they're fighting, their striking ability and you know, it's whatever. So, I have to settle that beef," said Jake Paul.
The 24-year-old then went on to call out current UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman.
"Same thing with Kamaru Usman... He and I have beef too, going back-and-forth on social media...all of these guys can get the smoke and I'm really about it. When I say anyone, anytime, anyplace, I mean it."
