JAKE PAUL was warned that mixed martial arts fighting is a different level to boxing, as he considers entering the cage.
A YouTuber claimed that he would retire from boxing to ink a one-fight agreement with the UFC if President Dana White agrees to his demands.
Jake Paul teased recently a move to the MMA world
Paul, 24 years old, teased a switch from MMA by sharing video of him practicing leg kicks. However, UFC bantamweight prospect Sean O'Malley believes The Problem Child won't succeed in the sport.
O'Malley stated that it takes so long to get good at MMA during a recent episode on his Sugar Show podcast.
"It will take longer to do what he did with boxing in MMA.
He was fast at boxing which is quite impressive. He defeated Tyron Woodley. That's insane.
"It's crazy. But to be able to enter MMA and succeed is a whole different level.
"There are just too many things you need to be good at."

He continued, "He's got drive and heart. That's proven. I'd watch."
Paul was recently offered the chance to compete in Bellator. Scott Coker, president of Bellator, told MMA Junkie that he would be happy to help him.
"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 was last seen in action in December last year in a rematch against former UFC Welterweight champion Tyron woodley.
With a spectacular sixth round KO, the social media sensation ended their rivalry and made it viral.
