He said, "We offered (him) a contract," after Eagle 44 in Miami.
"Now, we are waiting for his response. We're available if he wishes.

He's a former Disney star and seems determined to get in the cage. He even considered what weight class he would compete in.
Paul wrote to Dana White in a tweet: "When my MMA debut is made, I could lose 20 pounds and make it at welterweight / 170 lbs."
"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. Conor McGregor is walking at 190Ibs.
Paul made White the focus of his complaints about fighter pay in UFC. He even released a 'diss' track at the MMA mogul earlier in the week.
Paul raps: Dana, f*** Dana White.
"First, Joe Masvidal, you aren't wealthy. 50 fights for $5m that ain’t ***. I am the paid fighter, what about the healthcare rights?
"They are willing to risk their lives for the cause and won't stop. Big bags. That's what I came with. I enjoy having money conversations.
"All that Stockton s***, it's cool, but that lisp got my thinking, 'Does that language you speak?
Boy, all the greatness speaks for itself. All you fighters are just a bunch shelf toys. Dana, don't let them off the leash.
"Let's them come and make some breaches. You are trying to f*** with the Nelk Boys.
