"I'll watch that one" - Twitter abuzz with excitement after Jake Paul accepts Nate Diaz's MMA rematch offer

After one of the biggest combat sporting events of 2023, Nate Diaz and Jake Paul appear ready to run it back in a different setting.

Prior to the pay-per-view fight on August 5, both fighters were already in talks of competing against each other more than once. Paul proposed the idea of an MMA fight under the PFL banner, which Diaz shrugged off. However, Paul's recently launched 'Most Valuable Promotions' announced that the PFL officially extended a fight contract that 'The Problem Child' has accepted.

Jake Paul signed with the PFL in January 2023, initially claiming he would make his MMA debut with the promotion later this year. Nate Diaz has yet to comment on the MMA offer and always seemed more inclined to rematch Paul in boxing.

The tweet from Most Valuable Promotions was a direct response to an 'announcement' Diaz posted just days before. Shortly after it was announced Paul would return to boxing on December 15 against an unnamed opponent, Diaz took to Twitter to respond. With a self-made graphic, Diaz tweeted:

"Rematch wit this scared b****"

In 2022, Nate Diaz founded Real Fight Inc., his own promotion. In order to make an MMA fight happen, the PFL will likely have to collaborate with both Real Fight Inc. and Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions, which may also complicate the finalization of the bout.

Though Diaz was a heavy underdog leading into their last fight, he would undoubtedly be a sizeable favorite in a hypothetical MMA fight. Diaz has never directly shot down the idea of fighting Paul in his true sport but seemed hesitant to want to sign with the PFL. Diaz has not fought for any promotion other than the UFC since 2006.
