"He [Jake Paul] wants to fight Nate in an MMA fight, and the PFL comes with that long money, who f*****g knows? He [Diaz] is saying I don't want to do that PFL s**t, but what does he mean by that? It's an MMA fight."

Delving deeper into his analysis, the UFc commentator speculated that Diaz might have his sights set on a trilogy fight with Conor McGregor in the UFC.
