PFL Signee Jake Paul Set for His MMA Debut in 2023: “He’s Gonna Really Develop Into a Superstar in the Sport”

The internet sensation Jake Paul took the MMA world by storm when he penned a contract with UFC’s rival promotion, PFL. While he picked up boxing and excelled at it, the transition to MMA raised a few eyebrows. The American celebrity racked up victories against former UFC fighters such as Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, and also Anderson Silva in the past. Boasting a splendid record against MMA fighters, the Youtuber resolved to venture into MMA. However, any updates concerning his debut in PFL have dried up since the announcement. But, as reported by a senior PFL official, the promotion is on the hunt for an appropriate opponent.

Notably, the social media phenomenon, who is a staunch supporter of the fighters’ pay, will ‘absolutely’ mark his debut in 2023. While Tommy Fury halted his juggernaut when the two boxers met last month, the 26-year-old celebrity is already hitting the gym with a specific intention to dominate the MMA.

Following this, the PFL official continued and mentioned Paul was profoundly serious about MMA. And he also billed him to develop into a superstar in MMA.

Thus, he said, “He’s very serious about MMA, and he’s an incredible athlete. I think he’s gonna really develop into a superstar in the sport.”

Afterward, Mack shed light on the actor’s prospective opponents. In addition, he revealed the promotion kept the eyes open for any probable opening. While there was no concrete development, the promotion had already made a few initial deliberations.
