YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul has taken the combat sports world by storm. The social media influencer made himself relevant in the community after finishing former UFC champion Tyron Woodley with a thunderous knockout in December.
After his incredible display, every MMA promotion was interested in signing him into their fold as he expressed his desire to battle top UFC fighters like Conor McGregor and Jorge Masvidal.

However, he got nothing from UFC supremo Dana White, who dismissed him multiple times. Meanwhile, Khabib Nurmagomedov found an opportunity in Paul’s fame and offered him a deal for ‘Eagle FC’, but ‘The Problem Child’ disputed the fact that he got offered a deal.
“Yeah, there is, and not in the near future, but in like the medium term. Like, I would need to practice my kicks and a little bit more on the Jiu-Jitsu side. For like 2 years, maybe two and a half years, before I would do that. Unless the money was really right but like no one’s brought anything to the table, that’s interesting enough.”

“Like, even Khabib said ‘Oh, we offered him a deal,’ it’s not true, they never offered me anything. Like Eagle FC, I don’t think has ever even done an event. So, I don’t even know if they have,” Paul told Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour.
