Jake Paul will face Anderson Silva, UFC legend on October 29th
Paul teased future talks between Diaz and himself in the months before his farewell fight at the octagon.
The American, aged 25, will face Silva, 47, UFC legend, in Arizona on Oct 29 for his sixth professional fight.
Chris Avila, Diaz's 29-year-old training partner, will appear on the undercard. This means that the MMA veteran will also be there.
Diaz stated: "Yo Jake Paul and Anderson Silva. Let me get some tickets to ringside.
"My boy Chris Avila fights on that card so yes, I will be there."
In his last UFC fight, Diaz, 37, was scheduled to face Khamzat Chimaev (28).
Tony Ferguson, 38, was appointed to replace Chimaev, a Chechen-born Swede.
Diaz submitted Ferguson in round 4. He is now looking at a switch to boxing.
He stated, "I want out of UFC for a moment and show all these fighters the way to take over and control another sport. Conor McGregor didn’t know how."
"None of these fighters knows how to do it. So I'm going out there, and I'm going over to another profession and becoming the best at it.
"Show everyone that I'm the best at this and then I'm going back to the f*** to get a motherf UFC title. This is the best title in the entire world.
