Will youtuber Jake Paul fight in the UFC? I think about it sometimes, never say never, admits the head of the organization

Jake Paul has turned from a famous youtuber to a rather successful, but above all watched boxer who is not going to settle for little.

Jake Paul has turned from a famous youtuber to a rather successful, but above all watched boxer who is not going to settle for little. He has already defeated two former UFC fighters, one of whom was even a champion. And he’s challenging bigger and bigger names. He’s even asked for a UFC headlining fight with a stipulation for the organization’s boss. What does he have to say about Paul’s arrival now?

It would be very surprising, but apparently not impossible. Jake Paul, the famous youtuber who, among other things, broke into the world of combat sports with his boxing fights, during which he defeated two former UFC fighters, might just make it to the best MMA organization in the world.

He has already challenged several of the organization’s stars and is eager for a fight with Conor McGregor. In addition, he has had several shootouts with UFC boss Dana White. The reason was obvious, Paul wants to put so much pressure on White to start paying his fighters better.

That’s why he offers boxing fights to UFC stars, he wants to give them a chance to get paid for their hard work at least once. But the organization is against it. I wish they wouldn’t. Paul has even set White’s terms in the recent past, under which he wants to fight McGregor.

“”If I win, the UFC will have to agree to my fighter pay terms and health insurance proposal. If I lose, I will donate my entire paycheck to UFC fighters making less than $50k and never mention the UFC again,” Paul offered on Twitter.

Now, however, White has admitted that he is toying with the idea of engaging the famous YouTuber. “I think about it sometimes, it’s interesting. After all, he wants to fight for us, the money is there no matter what he says. Never say never. Even if it’s a little bit at odds with what I do,” he expressed to The Pivot Podcast.

White noted, among other things, that he never expected to give his approval for McGregor to fight boxing legend Floyd Mayweather. He said he didn’t even plan on signing various celebrities, such as wrestler CM Punk.

Will we ever see a Jake Paul fight in the UFC?
