Jake Paul answers ex-UFC champ fight callout as he\u2019s open to MMA clash Screenshot: DAZN BoxingJake Paul has responded to a fight callout from former UFC champion Tony Ferguson, saying he\u2019s open to taking the Lightweight on in MMA for his PFL debut. Even though he\u2019s started eyeing up \u2018real boxers\u2019 who have dedicated their lives to the sweet science, Jake Paul still has plenty of beef with athletes from the UFC and other MMA promotions. This has increased further now that the \u2018Problem Child\u2019 has signed a deal with the PFL \u2013 Professional Fighters League \u2013 and is slated to make his debut at some point in 2024. His most recent beef has come with Tony Ferguson, after the former UFC Lightweight champion stated that he was ready to fight Jake at some point. Jake Paul responds to Tony Ferguson\u2019s fight callout Ferguson, who is on a UFC record-tying streak of seven losses, said that he\u2019d take Jake on in either the boxing ring or MMA cage, and that he was ready to be done with the UFC to make it happen. Well, after defeating Ryan Bourland with a first-round TKO, Jake finally gave El Cucuy a response. \u201cAnyone (from the UFC) who can get out of their contract, I\u2019ll fight. That\u2019s easy work as far as I am concerned,\u201d he said in his post-fight press conference. \u201cI do want to do a PFL-MMA match, it just has to be the right opponent. But Nate did duck my $15 million offer so we\u2019ll see who else is on the chopping block. Tony Ferguson? He said he wanted to fight.\u201d The YouTuber-turned-boxer added that it would be \u201csad\u201d for Ferguson to walk away from the sport on the back of a massive losing streak, and that he doesn\u2019t \u201cwant\u201d that to be the case. It remains to be seen if a fight between the pair comes to fruition, but it would tick the bill of a \u2018big name\u2019 for Jake\u2019s long-awaited MMA debut.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
