By Carlos Costa Fightnews ASIA

In an entertaining 10-rounder, “The Problem Child” Jake Paul (7-1, 4 KO’s), claimed a unanimous decision victory over popular former UFC champ Nate Diaz today, August 5, in Dallas, Texas, live on DAZN.

Scores were 97-92, 98-91 (x2) in favor of the “Problem Child,” who promised that he’d give Nate Diaz a rematch, even in the octagon, if Nate wishes so. Will that really happen?

Jake Paul had Nate Diaz on the brink of a KO in the 1st and the 5th rounds, dropping the UFC legend in that heated round five, but the battle-tested veteran warrior held his ground, making it, throwing punches to the final bell.

Despite loud boos from the crowd, Jake Paul came up in fine form tonight at the full-packed American Airlines Arena, indeed out-boxing and out-smarting fair and square the 38-year-old Nate Diaz, who showed heart and stamina.

After the thrilling war was over, Paul and Diaz embraced, totally friendly and cordial towards each other. Will they do it again?
