MMA, let's do it."<\/p>\n In the post-match press conference, Diaz entertained the idea of an MMA rematch.<\/p>\n In any case, he wants the fight to be co-promoted by the PFL and his own promotion group Real Fighting Inc.<\/p>\n Asked what his plans were for Real Fight Inc after the initial bout with Paul, Diaz explained, "We're going to do a show. We have plans to do some stuff.\u00a0<\/p>\n "Right now, we're gonna go home, we're gonna talk about it, we're going to figure out whether we want to do MMA or boxing and then we'll see what they want to do.\u00a0<\/p>\n "They said they want to do the PFL thing and I think if we want to do that we're going to have to co-promote and do Real Fight versus PFL and I'm with that.\u00a0<\/p>\n "My goal is to get a rematch."<\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/StanSportAU\/status\/1687652124333600768<\/a><\/p>\n Diaz took a pot shot at Paul on the way out after his defeat, stating "In a real fight, this fight is over and we're sitting up here with the winner.<\/p>\n "We were participating in a boxing match and it was a good time. Now I know."<\/p>\n Paul, meanwhile, was proud to have gone the 10-round distance.<\/p>\n "He's tough, he's real tough. That's what he's known for. But tough in this sport doesn't work," Paul said.<\/p>\n "He's a warrior. I had him hurt in the first round, and he kept on coming.<\/p>\n "All credit to my conditioning team. Going ten rounds in my eighth fight is unheard of. I've only been boxing for three years, I beat a UFC legend."<\/p>\n For a daily dose of the best of the breaking news and exclusive content from Wide World of Sports, subscribe to our newsletter by<\/strong><\/em> clicking here<\/strong><\/em><\/a>!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n
