"I'm sure there's a payday" - Jake Shields is not dismissing the idea of Nate Diaz fighting Jake Paul
Jake Shields thinks Nate Diaz might fight Jake Paul for the right sum of money. Diaz only has one fight left on his UFC contract and would be free to take on Paul if he decides to enter free agency.
During an interview with Helen Yee, Jake Shields revealed that Diaz is more interested in testing himself against a top 5 opponent than Jake Paul. However, Shields added that Diaz would fight Paul for the right payday.
He said:
"Nate likes money so you never know. But I think he feels that Jake Paul is not on his level. So it's kind of a joke to be calling him out. I mean, I'm sure there's a payday that might get him interested. But as far as him looking to fight Paul, that's kind of a joke. He's looking to fight top 5 fighters."
