Paul voiced his preference for an MMA fight with Diaz on the podcast This Past Weekend with Theo Von. He said that if Diaz beats Perry, “me versus Nate” would be his number one priority, above Tommy Fury, Francis Ngannou and KSI.
He also explained that the main obstacle is financial: Diaz would need a large payout to take the risk. Despite no deal yet, Paul remains confident the fight will happen.
