Jake Paul Next Fight Info: JP v Nate Diaz is SATURDAY

Jake Paul tries to get back on the winning track Saturday night, when he meets MMAer at the America Airlines Arena in Dallas, Texas.

You can watch Paul-Diaz on August 5, live at 8 p.m. ET, for $59.99 PPV here, on PPV.com.

Paul comes to the ring with a 6-1, 4 KOs record. In his last outing, he dropped a decision to the more seasoned pugilist, Tommy Fury.

The Cleveland native Paul says he's going to stop Diaz, the rugged weed-huffing buccaneer of MMA. Nate is making his pro boxing debut.

Note: the Jake Paul-Nate Diaz fight is set for 10 rounds or fewer, and will be contested at 185 pounds.

Paul has been quite the story to watch unfold. Initially almost universally derided as a “YouTuber,” he's stuck with the boxing and in fact is building out the brand beyond himself.

He has a film coming to Netflix August 1, in which he tells watchers that he found purpose in the sport.
