"In?" – Jake Paul invites Nate Diaz to join the upcoming United Fighters Association with him and Anderson Silva

Jake Paul defeated UFC legend Anderson Silva in a boxing match by unanimous decision this last weekend. The pair had previously made a bet that if Paul emerged victorious, they would create a United Fighters Association to help MMA fighters get better pay. The YouTuber-turned-boxer has now invited mixed martial arts icon and now free agent, Nate Diaz, to join their association.

Following Jake Paul's victory, Nate Diaz took to Twitter, posting a clip of late-rapper Tupac Shakur alleging that the fight wasn't real. Paul responded by calling Diaz out before inviting him to join the upcoming United Fighters Association:

"Oh Nathan [Diaz], coming into my dressing room before my fight? Throwing drinks like a pussy. Will settle this if u ever get out of your UFC contract. Until then let’s change the game. I got big plans. I invite you to join Anderson & I to launch the United Fighters Association. In?"

Following Diaz's departure from the UFC, there has been plenty of talk of him facing Paul in a boxing match.

Jake Paul calls out Nate Diaz following his victory over Anderson Silva

Jake Paul and Nate Diaz have exchanged words multiple times since the former YouTube star began boxing. Following his victory over Anderson Silva, Paul immediately turned his attention to Diaz, calling out the former UFC lightweight.

In his post-fight interview, Paul stated:

"I want Nate Diaz who's a b***h. He tried to come into my locker room. He tried to cause some s**t and then he always leaves the f***ing arena. So, Nate Diaz, stop being a b***h and fight me."

It is unclear if Paul and Diaz will face off, however, many expect the two to meet in the near future. While calls have grown for Paul to face an actual boxer, he has continued to fight legitimate mixed martial artists.

Diaz was reportedly escorted out of the arena following a backstage altercation with members of Paul's entourage. The former UFC fighter allegedly delivered a 'Stockton Slap' during the altercation.
