Diaz has stated that after he is done with his UFC career, he would like to take on Jake Paul in a boxing fight. For that to happen, Paul would have to emerge victorious over Hasim Rahman Jr next weekend. If he does manage to do that in all likelihood, Jake Paul\u2019s next fight will be against Nate Diaz.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former UFC title challenger Nate Diaz is preparing to take on Khamzat Chimaev in what will be the final fight of his current UFC contract.
