5 UFC fighters Jake Paul could box next

#2. Nate Diaz vs. Jake Paul

Of all the potential fights on this list, a matchup between Nate Diaz and Jake Paul may well be the most likely to happen. It would make perfect sense, with Diaz currently unranked in the UFC, but still holding remarkable name value.

The boxing side of mixed martial arts has always been the bread and butter of Nate Diaz's game. Against Leon Edwards, Diaz struggled over five rounds against his opponents' complete arsenal of MMA weapons. However, it was with his boxing that Nate nearly finished the fight in the final round.

Add to this the huge fan base behind him, and his ability to sell a fight, and this is the perfect matchup to make.

#1. Conor McGregor vs. Jake Paul

Nate Diaz vs. Jake Paul is the perfect fight to make but the name Conor McGregor is simply beyond equal when it comes to combat sports matchmaking. The last time McGregor made the move to boxing, he was part of one of the biggest selling pay-per-view events in history.

Now on a two-fight losing streak inside the UFC, the Irishman may be looking at options outside of the organization. Jake Paul has been vocal in his willingness to fight 'The Notorious'. He even went as far as to have a luxury chain depicting McGregor being knocked out commissioned.

A fight between Conor McGregor and Jake Paul would no doubt sell a ridiculous amount of pay-per-view buys. McGregor would arguably have a skill advantage, whilst Paul is a considerably larger man, giving him the physical edge. Fight fans from all around the world would tune in to find out who comes out on top.
