Nate Diaz jokes that Dwayne Johnson is the only matchup that could tempt him out of MMA retirement

UFC legend Nate Diaz may be headed for a boxing showdown with Jake Paul, but the only way he’s stepping back into the octagon is for a showdown with actor, wrestler and former college football player, Dwayne Johnson. 

‘Im (sic) only going to fight the rock,’ Diaz tweeted. ‘Otherwise I’m goood.’

Diaz recently revealed that a boxing match with Paul could be in the works after his farewell fight victory over Tony Ferguson earlier this month. The 37-year-old Diaz’s contract with the UFC has now expired, making him a combat sports free agent. 

Diaz has revealed that a fight with Jake Paul could be on the cards with the MMA star considering a switch to boxing.
