Jake Paul has been trying his luck in the boxing ring lately. He has won every fight of his career, barring his fight against Tommy Fury. Paul is once more stepping into the boxing ring against legend Mike Tyson. It seems like Jake is intrigued by the eight-sided cage of MMA, as he was spotted expressing his interest in fighting in the cage against two of the all-time greats in the octagon.
Jake Paul was greatly criticized when he announced he would take on Mike Tyson. Mainly because folks were not happy with Paul’s decision to take on a sixty-year-old boxing legend.
Jake Paul on fighting in MMA
Jake Paul was one of the most popular YouTubers and wanted to change career paths, so he switched to boxing. It seems Paul has plans to do mixed martial arts in the future. In a video circulating online, Paul was spotted claiming that he wants to take on two fighters with extensive experience in MMA.
I wanna them them in MMA. Either Masvidal or Diaz in the PFL. Ten million dollar offer. They will literally hide behind, you can’t even box.
Jake clarified that he intends to fight either Jorge Masvidal or Nate Diaz in the future in MMA. Nate and Jorge are supposed to box each other in June. Many will agree that it might not be the smartest idea for Jake Paul to take on Masivdal and Diaz inside the boxing ring. Jake has beaten many seasoned boxers in the ring until now but has never faced an MMA athlete under MMA rules. He will have to up his martial arts skills to have any chance in the octagon.
Paul has no ground game to neutralize Nate’s Jiu-Jitsu or Masvidal’s wrestling. Nate Diaz is an expert in fighting from his back, whereas apart from being an elite kickboxer, Masvidal knows a thing or two about wrestling and taking someone down. It will be interesting to see if Jake Paul suits up to fight Diaz or Masvidal. Let’s see what happens in the near future with the trio.
