With all the hype surrounding the possibility of a fight between UFC champion Conor McGregor and boxing legend Floyd Mayweather, naturally other people from both sports are looking to get in on the action as well. Roy Jones still wants to fight Anderson Silva. Cub Swanson wants to fight Paulie Malignaggi. And now, a former two-division champion in boxing has called out a Diaz brother.
Jean Pascal, who has won titles at 168 pounds and held the IBF, WBC, The Ring, and lineal 175-pound titles in 2010 and 2011, pleaded his case to TMZ Sports, and didn’t pull any punches with his criticism of MMA in general and Nick Diaz in particular.
