Joe Rogan Reveals Why Jake Paul May Never Fight a UFC Fighter

Jake Paul has teased the possibility of facing several UFC fighters over the next few years. Despite entering the boxing chain, ‘The Problem Child’ has thrown shades at MMA elites and has successfully faced two former UFC stars inside the squared circle.

After Ben Askren’s and Tyron Woodley’s UFC exit, they shared the ring against Jake Paul and lost back-to-back. 24-year-old Paul then called out several active UFC stars like Conor McGregor, Kamaru Usman, and Jorge Masvidal, but never really got anywhere with them.

While Paul vs an active UFC star can be electrifying, Joe Rogan doesn’t see it happening. The veteran commentator sat down with rapper Snoop Dogg on his podcast and discussed several things. Jake Paul’s desire to compete with someone from the UFC was one of those topics.

Talking about it, Rogan said, “I don’t know. For them [UFC fighters] to be like, to get free from a UFC contract, they currently have. I don’t think Dana White is gonna do that.”

“Maybe if they thought they could make a lot of money and there was someone like a current UFC fighter and they could arrange it. Maybe they could make some sort of a joint promotion. But I just don’t see the UFC doing that.”

Well, Dana White can make it happen at some stage. But the UFC kingpin doesn’t seem to prefer the idea. White has never been too fond of the Paul brothers and has shown zero interest in hosting them against his signed fighters. Hence, Paul shall turn his attention to the boxing unit.

Jake Paul makes his own matchups

After amassing a 4-0 record with no professional boxers on his resume, Jake Paul will now change the course by locking horns against Tyson Fury’s brother Tommy Fury on December 18 in Miami, USA. On bagging a win, Paul will finally enter the boxing chain as ‘TNT’ Fury is a pro-pugilist.

Both Paul and Fury are at the earliest stage of their respective career and have been undefeated so far. They have also shared some bad blood, which can intensify their nearing clash. So, it makes sense for Jake Paul to face ‘TNT’ at this time since active UFC fighters don’t appear to be on his radar.
