JAKE PAUL has slammed Nate Diaz after the UFC star took aim at Ben Askren for praising the YouTuber’s boxing skills.

The 24-year-old knocked out the former MMA ace in the first round in April to record his third consecutive victory inside the squared circle.

It was expected to be the ex-Disney actor’s hardest fight since turning professional, but he silenced his critics in emphatic fashion.

Paul then outpointed former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley on a split decision in August.

And Askren, 37, has admitted he was surprised by Paul‘s qualities during his appearance on Lex Freidman’s podcast.

He said: “So the thing I said when I went in to fight him [Jake Paul] is maybe he’s good or maybe he’s not. We really have no idea to this point, you know

“I knew that Tyron was a lot better in boxing than I was.

“And so I thought that there is a good likelihood that Tyron beats him up but there is a chance that Jake is kind of good at this.

“I think what played out is he’s kind of good at it.

“And if you saw the way I saw it, he was still impressive in his showing and he has obviously put a lot of time into it. So, he’s not bad, I’ll say that much.”

UFC welterweight Diaz hit out at Askren over his views, as he tweeted: “Coming from a retired wrestler who can’t fight or box.”

Paul then chimed in, as he compared Diaz’s 13 defeats inside the octagon to Askren’s two.

He remarked: “You have six times as many losses as Ben Askren. Let that sink in.”

Diaz then fired back: “He sucks Jake. You’d get smoked n a real fight tho (sic).

“You can’t really fight boxing matches with wrestlers only. Let that sink in.”

Paul is currently preparing for his dust-up against Tommy Fury in Florida next month.

“Mark your calendars now to witness history in Tampa.”
