Nate Diaz isn’t thinking about someone else as his next possible opponent but Jake Paul and Leon Edwards. He also finds it cool that Conor McGregor betted on him to beat Jorge Masvidal.

Nate wants rematches with Jake and Leon

Speaking to the media after his decision win over “Gamebred,” Diaz made it clear that he is eager to run it back with “The Problem Child” and “Rocky.” Diaz lost to both fighters and now he wants to get his revenge and add Paul and Edwards to his resume.

“Just off the top of my head, I would like to whip [Paul’s] a**. I would like to get a win against Leon Edwards, who’s the best fighter in the world right now at 170. I think that’s something major who actually brings something that I can take and put in a credential box, that’s what I’m going for. I’m not playing for no f**king fun fights, because that shit ain’t fun,” Diaz said.

As Diaz called Paul out in his post-win interview inside the ring, the YouTuber-turned-boxing star already responded to it on social media. For Paul, Diaz hasn’t earned a rematch with him, especially after he allegedly ducked his multi-million dollar offer to fight at PFL.

“F**k you, Nate Diaz, you’re a hoe who ducked my PFL $15 million offer,” Paul wrote on X.

Nevertheless, Diaz insists that a rematch with Paul is likely to happen.

“It’s f**king pretty realistic as far as I’m concerned,” Diaz pointed out. “That’s the only thing I got in in my head is whoever thinks they’re f**king tight can get their a** whooped.”

Nate liked what Conor did

McGregor revealed on social media that he wagered $500K on Diaz against Masvidal. Diaz’s win saw “Notorious” bagging over $1.6 million. When asked for comments, Diaz simply said it’s “cool.”

“That’s cool,” Diaz said of McGregor’s bet on him. “Good job for us.”

Apart from Paul and Edwards, Diaz previously said he will also push for a trilogy fight with McGregor. As it stands, Diaz is now 1-1 as a pro boxer. In his debut, he lost to Paul via unanimous decision.
