JAKE PAUL will fight Khabib Nurmagomedov under the MMA legend's new promotion - if the former UFC star puts up PS26million.
Last week, Eagle FC chief Nurmagomedov claimed that he offered YouTubers a contract to participate in his promotion. The inaugural event was held in America last Saturday.
Jake Paul was initially open to the idea of switching to mixed martial art before his viral KO by Tyron Woodley
Problem Child Paul insists that he would only compete under the Eagle FC banner, if he had to face its founder Nurmagomedov.
During an appearance on The MMA Hour he stated that he would fight Khabib in MMA if offered.
"That would be thrilling.
"That would be exciting, especially if there was more time to train. It would be a huge fight.
"Probably a million to 2 million pay-per view buys, and all I would need to do is improve my wrestling skills.
"Cause he could outstrike me standing up."
Paul, 25, is yet to be awarded a contract by Eagle FC. However, he is open to discussing business with Eagle FC if they are willing to pay his minimum asking price (PS26million).
Social media sensation Khabib [Nurmagomedov] stated that he offered Khabib a deal. It's false.
"They never offered anything to me. Eagle FC has never done an event.
"I don't hate anything they do, but I would need to make more in boxing to be able to risk my life going into MMA.
"People would need to come $25, $35 Million dollars just to start the conversation."
Paul, a former Disney star, teased a switch to mixed martial arts before his viral win over Tyron Woodley, an ex-UFC welterweight champion.
He already has a weight category in mind to make a foray into the cage.
Paul wrote last month to Dana White, UFC president: "When my MMA debut is made, I could lose 20 pounds and do it at welterweight/170lbs."
"That's exactly what UFC fighters do, and many have lost their minds and bodies doing it.
"But I'm going to do it at middleweight (185). Health first. P.S. P.S. Conor McGregor is walking at 190Ibs.
