Dustin Poirier’s thoughts on Paul vs Diaz

Recently on The MMA Hour, the top UFC contender Dustin Poirier shares his thoughts on Jake Paul vs Nate Diaz and highlights the strengths Jake Paul has as a fighter. “Man, Jake’s younger, bigger, faster — it’s not an easy fight,” Poirier said, as quoted by mmafighting.com.

“Just because Nate’s a grizzled veteran with the right experience, and Jake’s a new guy who’s on YouTube — he’s got the money and the amenities to surround himself with the best people and dedicate himself to fighting, and he’s younger and more explosive.

And I think Diaz’s boxing is good for MMA — it’s a completely different thing. It’s a completely different thing”. Dustin Poirier was meant to fight Nate Diaz in the UFC ring, but due to an injury, the scheduled fight between the two got canceled.

On August 5th, all the doubts will be cleared as we will find out if Nate Diaz can prove how great his boxing abilities are; he has trained with highly-experienced boxers and in a few months, we will get to witness Nate Diaz’s fighting skills in the realm of boxing.
