Jake Paul Launches a Massive Initiative to Support UFC Fighters

The YouTuber turned professional boxer Jake Paul recently provided a solution to the ongoing fighters’ pay issue in the UFC.

‘The Problem Child’ has had a verbal back and forth with UFC president Dana White on the internet regarding the payment of the UFC fighters. And amidst the ongoing issues with Ngannou and White, Paul taunted the kingpin after UFC 270.

Previously, Paul posted a tweet on his official Twitter account comparing Ngannou’s salary for his fight at UFC 270 with boxers’ payday per match. And also announced that he will soon provide a solution to UFC fighters’ pay issues.

Recently, in his latest tweet, ‘The Problem Child’ has claimed to have bought the UFC stocks and has proposed a solution. In his tweet, Paul wrote, “I’ve invested in EDR (UFC) stock with my partner @geoffreywoo 2 focus on UFCs ESG standards relating to fighters.”

“We believe EDR can drive long-term economic value by increasing UFC fighter pay & providing them healthcare. Reaching out to @EngineNo_1 to partner on this “endeavor.”

Ever since his transition to boxing, ‘The Problem Child’ has been calling out elite UFC fighters for a match. He has even knocked out a few ex-UFC fighters in his previous matches.

However, now Paul wants to enter the MMA world and has also demanded a fight from White. But the latter has always snubbed his demands. Hence, Paul’s wish of competing in UFC might not be fulfilled soon. However, ‘The Problem Child’ has received an offer from a surging MMA promotion.

Jake Paul receives an offer from Khabib Nurmagomedov

‘The Eagle’ has retired from professional fighting. However, the former UFC champion is still active in the MMA business as he has bought his own MMA promotion after retiring.

Nurmagomedov also works as a promoter for his MMA venture named after his moniker, Eagle FC. The promotion has entered American soil and is signing some notable fighters. Recently, the Dagestan native also offered to sign ‘The Problem Child’ in his promotion.

Nurmagomedov tweeted, “the doors of @EagleFightClub always open for you and your team.” 

Interestingly, Paul acknowledged the Tweet and also claimed to accept the offer. But only on one condition. In response, he wrote, “deal. only if I fight you first.”

As aforementioned, ‘The Eagle’ has retired from the sport completely. And he has never shown his interest in returning to the octagon, even after being offered hefty money. Hence, this deal might never come to fruition.
