“Sends Nate to the shadow realm” – Jake Paul opening as betting favorite against Nate Diaz in potential fight leaves fans in splits
Jake Paul and Nate Diaz
Pitching a fight matchup between UFC superstar Nate Diaz and YouTube sensation, Jake Paul would have been criminal a few years ago. Times have now changed and this matchup is a realistic possibility in the near future.
After Jake Paul’s successive wins against former UFC fighters, Nate Diaz is now the new favorite to face the YouTuber-turned-boxer in his next bout. The Stockton Superstar also seems to be down to become the first MMA fighter to have beaten The “Prblm Child” in a boxing match. After the recent chaos at Paul’s last fight against Anderson Silva, betting odds seem to be out for a potential Diaz vs Paul fight.
According to the betting website, betonline, Paul opens as a massive favorite with odds, -260 while the MMA veteran is a +200 underdog. While ardent fans of Nate Diaz and MMA are in utter disbelief that the odds have turned out in Paul’s favor, several fight fans believe the odds fair given the last fights of the two superstars.

Against Tony he had spent an entire camp wrestling as he was preparing for Khamzat, he said himself to his coach at the end of the fight he was getting tired throwing punches. Tony's fight is really not the one to watch to judge Nate's boxing.

He sends Nate to the shadow realm. Nate is not known for his footwork. Nate will also open up by round 2 with those cuts. I said Jake was easy money last night and this is stealing. Put your ski mask on and bet Jake early. https://t.co/ESLSk1W9uk
