Hey, mates! So, the fight scene’s abuzz, and guess what? Jake Paul is all set to have a go at MMA! Yep, the same lad who went from tickling our funny bones on YouTube to delivering knockouts in the boxing ring is now taking a crack at mixed martial arts. There’s chatter about him making his MMA debut around the back end of 2024. This juicy bit comes from the top dog of the Professional Fighters League, Donn Davis, who’s well chuffed about Jake hopping into their playground.
While we’re biting our nails in anticipation for this MMA showdown, Jake’s not just kicking back. He’s got his gloves on for boxing still and is gearing up to face off against Andre August—a name you might not know but the bloke’s no slouch in the ring, I tell you. Pop the 15th of December in your diaries, as that’s when they’ll be slugging it out under the Florida sun in Orlando. And the word doing rounds is that Jake might be up against Tommy Fury or KSI after Andre. But hold your horses because, according to Mr. Davis on the MMA Hour, Jake is bang into MMA training right now.
Now, about his MMA ambitions, Jake’s setting his sights high—he’s proper keen to tussle with Nate Diaz inside the cage. Fancy that, a dust-up with the UFC legend, but with a bit of an extra spin! Nate’s been playing it coy since their boxing bout earlier this year, but the PFL lot are dangling a whopping $15 million quid to get him back for another round with ‘The Problem Child.’ That’s not a sum to sniff at; it’s the biggest cash pile Nate would be pocketing in his fight career!
As we wait for Nate to give the nod (or not), these lads have got ages to sort out the fine print since Jake’s MMA bow isn’t happening for a good while yet. And let’s not overlook Dillon Danis—a bloke itching for a scrap with Jake, especially after getting tangled up with Jake’s brother, Logan. Got drama? Absolutely. Buzzin’? Beyond a doubt.
So, keep your peepers open, pals, because the fight world’s about to crank up a notch. Is Jake Paul up for the challenge in the infamous MMA octagon, or is this all a flash in the pan? Will Nate Diaz grab the offer, and will Dillon Danis get to throw down with the Paul brothers? Only the sands of time will spill it, but one thing’s certain—we’re in for a rollercoaster ride and some belting clashes. Don’t go anywhere!
