Throughout his career, Nate Diaz has proved to be a formidable personality, evident from his numerous clashes with the UFC top brass. Now, as he prepares to face Jake Paul in a boxing bout later this year, Diaz embraces a new role as a co-promoter under his combat sports organization, Real Fight Inc.

Over the years, Diaz's indomitable spirit and willingness to advocate for his rights have yielded extraordinary results. Notably, he spearheaded the creation of the coveted 'BMF' championship and successfully negotiated the first-ever, co-main event, non-title, five-round fight in the UFC (against Leon Edwards at UFC 263).

While Diaz was expected to challenge Jake Paul in an eight-round boxing bout, 'The Problem Child' has raised the stakes by making the bout a 10-round encounter, taking into account Diaz's famed cardio and endurance.

Nate Diaz, astute in the art of psychological warfare, took to Twitter to issue a response to the announcement, asserting his willingness to engage in a six-round bout.

Diaz's tweet has drawn a confused reaction from fight fans with several fans reacting to the Stockton native's antics. One fan wrote:

"This guy's on crack man. First, he was saying 12 rounds so they changed it to 10 for him then he said he's good with 8 which was the original plan before he said any of that, and now he's saying 6."

Another fan wrote:

"You make this whole round sh*t such a confusing thing man as you are the only one who makes me not be hyped for this event anymore."

Yet another fan wrote:

"Old and gassed. All that weed catching up."

American boxer Regis Prograis claims to be impressed by Nate Diaz's boxing skills

WBC super lightweight champion Regis Prograis recently shed light on his sparring session with former UFC star Nate Diaz. Prograis, who successfully defended his title against Danielito Zorrilla this past Saturday in New Orleans, commented on Diaz's boxing skills in an earlier interview with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour.

While Prograis was impressed by the Stockton native's boxing skills considering his base in MMA, 'Rougarou' recognizes that Diaz will have a hard time getting the victory considering the substantial size advantage that Jake Paul possesses. According to Prograis:

“He was super tough. I kind of knew that already. I knew Nate Diaz, I knew his reputation, so I knew he was going to be real tough. That’s kind of what it was. We just went and locked horns and tried to kill each other. For sure [I was impressed]. I’ve sparred with a lot of MMA fighters, I spend a lot of time in Brazil, and their hands are just not that good. Nate Diaz’s hands were fairly OK."

However, Prograis added:

“Size-wise, Jake Paul is so much bigger. He’s naturally a 200-pound person. If they were the same size, even if Jake Paul had maybe 10 pounds on him, I would give it all to Nate Diaz. If they were the same size, I would give it to Nate Diaz but the size difference is huge. That’s a big, big difference."
