Jake Paul called out by record-holder ex-UFC champ who would \u201clove\u201d to fight Wade PlemJake Paul has been called out by former UFC champion Tony Ferguson as the lightweight is eager to fight the YouTuber-turned-boxer on the back of his record-tying losing streak inside the Octagon. Even though he says he\u2019s focused on fighting \u2018real\u2019 boxers these days, Jake Paul has done plenty of verbal sparring with different mixed martial artists. The \u2018Problem Child\u2019 has gone after the likes of Conor McGregor, Dana White, Jorge Masvidal, and Nate Diaz in the past, to name just a few. Given that he\u2019s beaten Diaz and former UFC star Tyron Woodley, there have been shots sent his way from other UFC fighters too \u2013 especially those who are looking to fight him now that they\u2019re moving away from the Octagon. Seeing as he\u2019s on a UFC record-tying streak of seven losses, Tony Ferguson is someone who certainly falls into that category too, and he\u2019s taken a few digs at Jake recently. Tony Ferguson would \u201clove\u201d to fight Jake Paul That\u2019s right, the former interim lightweight champion has gone after Jake, claiming that he wants to take on the YouTuber-turned-boxer in a fight. \u201cLook, I\u2019m gonna be real with you. I\u2019m calling out Jake. I would love to fight you, dude,\u201d Ferguson said on the JAXXON Podcast. \u201cI don\u2019t call or talk to too many people or call them out but Jake is the one in a lot of these up-and-coming people \u2013 when I talked about insurance for fighters and so on, I plant that seed and a lot of these other fighters, they go and they take it to another level.\u201d El Cucuy previously said he\u2019s not retiring from fighting, so it could be that he\u2019s looking to take on Jake in the PFL. The \u2018Problem Child\u2019 signed a multi-year deal with the MMA organization and is expected to debut in 2024. It remains to be seen if Ferguson would fit the bill, especially given he\u2019s a lightweight and Jake typically fights at cruiserweight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
