Logan Paul told MMA journalist Ariel Helwani that he thinks Nate Diaz is “ducking him” after sending Diaz a fight contract that Logan thinks would be a no-brainer for him to sign.
Over the last few months, professional MMA fighter Nate Diaz has had his fair share of words with Logan and Jake Paul, with the trio going back and forth on several occasions.
Just recently, Nate Diaz called out Logan Paul after the latter trash-talked Tommy Fury during his recent bout with Jake.
According to Logan, however, he sent Nate Diaz a fight contract last year but has yet to hear anything back from the MMA pro.
Logan Paul claims Nate Diaz is “ducking him”
During a recent interview with Ariel Helwani, the journalist asked Logan whether or not he had a fight scheduled for 2023. The YouTuber turned entrepreneur replied that he thought he did, but nothing has been locked in.
“I think this guy might be running from me. I think he’s ducking,” Logan said. “We had the sweetest deal for him. I’m not a quarter million PPV type of fighter, and I’m a 0-1 YouTuber. Seem’s like an easy fight on paper, no?”
