Nate Diaz will make his boxing debut against Jake Paul this week in Dallas, Texas. The MMA superstar remains one of the world’s most famous combat sports athletes. The Stockton-based fighter is known for his unconventional approach to fighting and promoting events. Ahead of his bout with Paul, Diaz interacted with fans in Dallas. However, one fan captured the spotlight with a surprise question.
Usually, fans ask the fighters if they would marry them or stuff like that. However, one fan asked, “Will you marry my mom?” In a twist, Diaz responded, “Where’s she at?” with the crowd roaring in response. Fans in Dallas are thrilled to see Diaz compete in the city. Nate Diaz has never competed in the state of Texas in his career. Hence, it will be a first for people in Texas and Nate to experience the fighting atmosphere in the city.
Nate Diaz is a betting underdog in the bout, with Jake Paul being the favorite. Also, Nate Diaz has never fought in the 185-pound division. He is also undersized in the 170-pound division. Hence, Jake Paul will have a sizable physique advantage and the youth factor on his side. Diaz has a strong chin, but it remains to be seen if it translates well in the boxing ring.
Ben Askren and Tyrone Woodley had strong chins during their MMA career. However, Jake Paul knocked them both out in their boxing match. The sports of boxing and MMA are vastly different. The MMA fighters do not stand a chance against boxers inside the squared circle. Nevertheless, fans hope an MMA fighter could defeat Jake Paul inside the boxing ring.
Nate Diaz continues to smoke blunts in the state of Texas
The State of Texas has a strict no-tolerance policy on marijuana consumption. The fight between Diaz and Paul almost collapsed due to state policy. However, despite the danger from the law, Diaz continued to smoke blunts ahead of his boxing bout in Dallas, Texas.
The Stockton superstar released a video clip of him training with a blunt in his mouth that has since gone viral. In an interview with Ariel Helwani, Diaz flaunted marijuana like it was nothing. Nate Diaz has never fought in the state of Texas. Diaz’s persona proves that no one is like him in the combat sports world.
Fans and analysts do not expect him to beat Jake Paul in their boxing bout. Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn expects Paul to finish Diaz in less than five rounds. Only time will tell if Diaz can defeat Paul during their matchup in Dallas, Texas.
