UFC lightweight contender Dustin Poirier predicts Jake Paul will come out on top of his boxing fight against Nate Diaz on Saturday, August 5.
Paul and Diaz fight live on DAZN and DAZN PPV, with Paul making his comeback after losing to Tommy Fury earlier this year.
Diaz, a good friend of Poirier, is an experienced UFC fighter but is making his boxing debut against Paul.
And speaking at the final press conference ahead of UFC 291, Poirier said: "Nate has good boxing but it is unorthodox.
"With boxing gloves things are different, timing is different and range is a little different.
"Jake is a big atheltic young kid, if I had to put money on it I would put it on Jake.
"I've been around both guys, Jake is a lot bigger than me and he's explosive. He hasn't been doing it that long but all it takes is one punch from a guy like that."
Poirier fights Justin Gaethje in the main event of UFC 291 this Saturday.
