Jake Paul's MMA Ambitions
Jake Paul, the YouTuber-turned-boxer with an 11-1 record, is eyeing a switch to MMA and has three potential opponents in mind.
Behind the Scenes Talks
While Paul is back in training for his next bout, talks are ongoing behind the scenes for his transition to MMA. He is signed to the Professional Fighters League, where he is working with Nakisa Bidarian to secure an MMA opponent.
Potential Opponents
PFL founder Donn Davis revealed that Bidarian has three names in mind for Paul's potential MMA debut, indicating that a group of three opponents are being considered for the matchup.
Delay in MMA Debut
Despite initial plans for a 2024 MMA debut, Paul's success in the boxing ring, including a recent win against Mike Tyson, has delayed his transition to MMA. However, Davis expects 2025 to be the year for Paul's debut in the PFL cage.
High-Stakes Rematches
Paul has been linked to high-stakes rematches in MMA, including a potential rematch with Nate Diaz and a two-fight deal with Tommy Fury worth £15 million.
Looking Ahead
With ongoing talks and preparations for his MMA debut, 2025 could be the year that Jake Paul makes his mark in the world of mixed martial arts.
