Nate Diaz has accepted Jake Paul's offer to step into the octagon, after losing their boxing bout.
Paul dropped the UFC legend on his way to a one-sided decision on Saturday at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.
The scorecards read 97-92, 98-91 and 98-91 in favour of 'The Problem Child' after their 10 round fight.
YouTuber, Paul, had already proposed a second fight against Diaz - who boasted a 22-13 record in the UFC - in MMA before they met in the ring, but Diaz had held out saying it would take more than $10m to make it happen.
The Mirror has since reported that Diaz has accepted the offer after Paul mentioned it again after their fight. As a condition, Diaz has insisted it must be a co-promotion with the PFL (Professional Fighters league) and his own staple Real Fight Inc.
Paul said on Saturday: “All credit to my team and I want to run it back in MMA.
"$10million PFL, that’s the offer. Let’s run it back in MMA to make it fair. I won one, now it's your chance in home territory of MMA. He’s real tough, that’s what he’s known for but tough in this sport doesn’t work. I knocked him and won basically every round, I had him hurt in the first round and he kept on coming."
Diaz replied, "Let's do it", before adding: "We're going to have to co-promote with Real Fight Inc. He's big and he's tough, I wish I could have done better things but some s*** it didn't go the way I wanted it to. I should have trained better and done better things but it’s all good. He won this one but i'll fight anyone, I don't give a f***."
Diaz joked that he "won the battle" by showing off some his MMA moves in the fight, one of which included a guillotine choke in the ninth round.
"I wasn't trying to but I had the single leg [takedown] in the first round and the choke in the ninth, so I won that battle. He’s tough and he’s big, I think he’s doing a great job.”
