“We Are Already Talking About It”- Scott Coker Teases a Potential Move to MMA for Jake Paul

Jake Paul has already clarified his intentions of joining the Mixed Martial Arts community somewhere down the line. Having beaten former MMA champions in the boxing ring, ‘The Problem Child’ can soon enter the cage and has already received several options from leading MMA organizations.

Bellator honcho Scott Coker is interested in signing Jake Paul. He has already outlined the plans for bringing him under the MMA circuit, but the final answer will clearly come from Paul’s end. That said, Coker has opened up the road for ‘The Problem Child’ already.

In an exclusive chat with Seconds Out, Coker said, “If Jake Paul is serious and wants to do it, we are here. We are already talking about you know, what I am gonna say. Talking about you know, he was with Showtime boxing and he did the fight with T-Wood.”

“So, you know there’s dialogue, but you know. I think he wants to do his ten boxing fights and then you know come over to MMA.”

Meanwhile, PFL is also down to signing Jake Paul. Part-Owner of PFL, Wiz Khalifa, recently hailed Jake Paul’s charismatic persona and expressed his will to put him under the PFL banner. Therefore, Jake Paul can actually cherry-pick his path to enter the MMA slide.

Amidst all, Khabib Nurmagomedov has also offered Jake Paul a chance at his Eagle FC. While Paul doesn’t have a pro-MMA experience to his side, he is already making big moves in the community.

How soon can Jake Paul move to the MMA world?

Paul’s boxing record currently stands at 5-0, with 4 KOs in his favor. Nevertheless, he hasn’t faced a professional puncher yet, and all of his wins have come against debutant boxers. Only Tyron Woodley was an exception, who fight Jake Paul twice, but ended up losing on both occasions. Paul has claimed to retire after amassing a 10-0 record in the sport.

It means he is five wins far from attaining that goal. If he remains active with three appearances/ year, we can see ‘The Problem Chid; reach 20-0 within two years. After that, he can make a shift to other entities as he has already hinted at appearing in the NFL. While a potential shift to MMA is also on board, it’s unclear when will that actually happen.
