Jake Paul announces MMA fight with Nate Diaz

We don’t often talk sports at the Beet, but we do when youtube stars seemingly take over a sport. Just like Jake Paul has been doing in the world of UFC.

Jake will take on former UFC star Nate Diaz on Aug. 5 in Dallas. It’ll be eight rounds at 185 pounds with 10-ounce gloves in a 20×20 ring.

The fight was officially announced Wednesday. It concludes nearly 18 months of the two barking at each other on social media, as Diaz worked to complete his UFC contract.

It’s a long ways away, but it will come up fast for Jake.
