Jake Paul has disclosed the four fighters he intends to challenge upon entering the world of MMA, with a few recognizable names among them.
Ever since entering the world of boxing, Jake Paul has successfully made a name for himself in the world of combat sports. He has achieved multiple victories in his boxing career, defeating former UFC fighters who have transitioned to the sport of boxing.
The former YouTuber has recently signed a multi-year agreement with the PFL, also known as the Professional Fighters League, in his pursuit of entering the world of cage fighting.
Jake has been training in their SmartCage and has made several fight offers, despite not yet making his debut with the organization. One such offer was a two-fight deal to Nate Diaz, in both boxing and with the PFL. However, the former UFC star turned down this opportunity.
Despite his focus on his upcoming fight against Mike Tyson, Jake is also considering his MMA career and has already planned out potential opponents for his future fights.
During an interview with TalkSport, he expressed his confidence in being able to defeat Nate Diaz in his first MMA fight, despite acknowledging the challenge it would present with a 50/50 chance. He also mentioned his willingness to face other skilled MMA fighters such as Masvidal, and was unsure of who else would be a suitable opponent.
“Tyron would certainly be intriguing. I believe it could serve as a solid contingency plan. That would be absolutely wild.”

The social media sensation also mentioned his long-standing opponent, Tommy Fury. Jake’s defeat to the British boxer is the sole imperfection on his record. Of course, he is determined to emerge victorious against him.
Jake reiterated that he has the full support of the PFL and is confident in their ability to provide lucrative opportunities for him.
“We are fully prepared and have the necessary funds to move forward. Our intention is to extend offers to individuals who can generate sales and compete in a challenging manner, similar to a debut MMA match,”he stated.
The much-awaited debut will take place after his match with Tyson in November, and there is also the possibility of a championship boxing match. Therefore, we will need to wait and observe the outcome.
