JAKE PAUL continues to practice leg kicks in an attempt to make a move into mixed martial arts.
A YouTuber who turned into a boxer claimed that he would retire from sweet science and sign a one fight deal with UFC if President Dana White meets his demands.
Jake Paul teased recently a move in the world of mixed martial arts
The Problem Child seems to be seriously considering a move to MMA, judging by his recent training footage.
Paul posted a short clip of him doing low kicks on Friday night to his Instagram and Twitter pages.
The caption that accompanied him read: "1st Day Training Kicks. Doubted at every turn.. but knock down the doors. @bellatormma @pflmma."
The social media sensation's followers were quick to respond, with one commenting: "Those are not that bad."
Another commented, "I have to admit, if he's new to throwing kicks, then this is actually quite good." He's athletic."
Another said, "He don’t look so bad."

One more: "Props if the he steps into the cage to scrape."
Brendan Loughnane, PFL featherweight, said: "Not bad kick tbf."
And UFC middleweight contender Derek Brunson said: "Not bad son!"
Paul's disclosure of his low kick game happened just days after Scott Coker, Bellator president, said he would consider signing the 24-year old if he is serious about entering the cage.
He said to MMA Junkie, "If you're interested in MMA, we'd be happy to help."
"Think about it: He isn't saying, 'I'm going train here. I will train there.
"He's going into one of the top gyms on the planet, where Khabib and Daniel Cormier are still training, where Cain Velasquez teaches there now, and going into an environment where he can flourish and has a wrestling background.
He is strikingly beautiful, evidently. This guy has great striking ability, as you can see.
Paul's apparent switch to MMA could spell doom for rival Tommy Fury who was forced to withdraw from their December grudge match because of injury and illness.
The Love Islander will not chase Paul if he really wants to fight in MMA. He stated during an appearance on The MMA Hour that "the fact of the matter here is there's unfinished work here and this fight must take place because how can he be serious if he hasn't fought a boxer before?"
"How is he serious? He keeps referring back to the UFC.
"If he is interested in fighting in the UFC, don’t wear a boxing glove again. Go fight in UFC.
"Don't consider yourself a boxer if your only fight was against a human being."
