Jake Paul Baiting Nate Diaz to PFL? Fans call Jake Paul's Bluff

It was a massive announcement in the MMA world as Jake Paul signed with the PFL with the intent of making his debut later this year. The YouTuber-turned-boxer even has an opponent in mind and a multi-fight offer.'The Problem Child' offered former UFC title challenger and free agent Nate Diaz a two-fight offer that would see them compete in a boxing fight and then six-months later, an MMA fight in the PFL. The offer could be enticing, but fans have taken to social media to call the YouTuber-turned-boxer's bluff, writing:&quot;So if Nate pieces him up in Boxing, why would people want to see him do it again in MMA?&quot; - {@ProfessorGutz - Twitter}Professor “ArmBar”@ProfessorGutz@espnmma So if Nate pieces him up in Boxing, why would people want to see him do it again in MMA?58@espnmma So if Nate pieces him up in Boxing, why would people want to see him do it again in MMA? https://t.co/TRKq1T1fbD&quot;How's Paul going to make 170 to fight Diaz in MMA?
