‘Ten million dollar offer’: Jake Paul Reveals His Plans to Fight in MMA in the Future Against UFC Veterans (After KO Mike Tyson) | HO

Jake Paul has been trying his luck in the boxing ring lately. He has won every fight of his career, barring his fight against Tommy Fury. Paul is once more stepping into the boxing ring against legend Mike Tyson. It seems like Jake is intrigued by the eight-sided cage of MMA, as he was spotted expressing his interest in fighting in the cage against two of the all-time greats in the octagon.

Jake Paul was greatly criticized when he announced he would take on Mike Tyson. Mainly because folks were not happy with Paul’s decision to take on a sixty-year-old boxing legend.

Jake Paul on fighting in MMA

Jake Paul was one of the most popular YouTubers and wanted to change career paths, so he switched to boxing. It seems Paul has plans to do mixed martial arts in the future. In a video circulating online, Paul was spotted claiming that he wants to take on two fighters with extensive experience in MMA.

I wanna them them in MMA. Either Masvidal or Diaz in the PFL. Ten million dollar offer. They will literally hide behind, you can’t even box.

Jake clarified that he intends to fight either Jorge Masvidal or Nate Diaz in the future in MMA. Nate and Jorge are supposed to box each other in June.

Many will agree that it might not be the smartest idea for Jake Paul to take on Masivdal and Diaz inside the boxing ring. Jake has beaten many seasoned boxers in the ring until now but has never faced an MMA athlete under MMA rules.

He will have to up his martial arts skills to have any chance in the octagon.

Paul has no ground game to neutralize Nate’s Jiu-Jitsu or Masvidal’s wrestling. Nate Diaz is an expert in fighting from his back, whereas apart from being an elite kickboxer, Masvidal knows a thing or two about wrestling and taking someone down.

It will be interesting to see if Jake Paul suits up to fight Diaz or Masvidal. Let’s see what happens in the near future with the trio.

“I am being so serious when I say that I want to fight them in MMA,” Paul said on his “BS w Jake Paul” podcast.

“Either Masvidal or Diaz, in the PFL, $10million offer for either one of those guys.

“Again, they will literally hide behind the fact… Masvidal: ‘You can’t even box. What the f*** are you going to do coming over to MMA, bro? I’m f***ing from Miami, Florida, bro! F*** you, don’t disrespect me.’

“F***ing bird brain, that’s what he hides behind. Same with Paddy [Pimblett], Sean Strickland, all of these guys hide behind these crazy things.

“Still, none of them have shown up to the table to talk any business about anything to make anything actually happen for a real fight, a real spar, whatever it is.

“So, the offer still stands there. I want either one of those guys in MMA.”

Diaz says he never turned down the offer but admits he has no interest in fighting in the PFL as he hopes to return to the UFC for a trilogy bout with Conor McGregor.

He said: “I didn’t turn it down. He [Paul] didn’t take my offer. No PFL. PFL, they’re selling two tickets and get two free. That’s what Dana [White] said.”

Masvidal, who is still under contract with the UFC, has also distanced himself from an MMA fight with Paul but did say they could settle their differences another way.

“Jake runs up on me somewhere else where it’s not a ring or something you can find out bro,” he said on The MMA Hour.

“You’re talking about the PFL, the f*** are you going to do in MMA? Are you kidding me? You can’t even box.

“Now you’re going to fight in MMA? I would kick your f***ing kneecap off your fragile body.

“You dumb motherf***er, don’t bring up MMA ever you disrespectful piece of s***.”
