Masvidal thinks the div...

His upcoming opponent, former UFC fighter Nate Diaz , is relatively new to the sport, and Paul is confident in his ability to secure a victory in their 10-round professional bout on August 5 in Dallas.

Paul expressed frustration that many big fighters are unwilling to put their records and belts on the line by fighting against other well-known fighters.

Paul recently lost his own record after being defeated by Tommy Fury in a highly publicized bout. However, he remain...

The fight was a unanimous decision loss, with Masvidal receiving scores of 30-27, 30-27, and 29-28, marking his fourth consecutive defeat.
