Jake Paul doubles down on $10 million Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal MMA offer
Jake Paul continues to make waves in boxing, but he still has his sights set on his long rumored appearance in the PFL SmartCage. Although there isn't a timeline set in stone for his MMA debut, Jake already has two names in mind who he'd like to fight.
'The Problem Child' has proven to be a power puncher who possesses true knockout power thus far into his combat sports career. Six of the 27-year-old's nine wins have come by way of knockout–with his most notable arguably being the vicious win over former UFC champion Tyron Woodley.
In response to Jorge Masvidal's comments, Jake Paul doubled down on his $10 million offer. The social media star insisted he wants either Masvidal or Nate Diaz for his first venture into mixed martial arts.
"What the f*** you gonna do coming over to MMA, bro?" Jake said while mocking Masvidal. "I'm f***ing from Miami, Florida, bro."
"All of these guys hide behind these crazy things but still, none of them have shown up to the table to talk [about] any business, about anything to make anything actually happen in a real fight. A real spar."
"So the offer still stands there. Either Masvidal or Diaz in the PFL. [A] $10 million offer for either one of those guys."

Even if a deal is agreed, Jake Paul will have to wait to fight either Jorge Masvidal or Nate Diaz under the PFL banner.
He is currently preparing to face his toughest challenge in the ring to date when he collides with the legendary Mike Tyson on July 7. The bout is set to get underway at the AT&T Stadium in Texas and will be live to viewers on Netflix.
The pair have signed to compete in an exhibition match, though Tyson has insisted that he refuses to fight under watered-down rules.
