Logan and Jake Paul have, undeniably, made waves in the fight game ever since they first stepped into the boxing ring back in 2019. The brothers have partaken in some massive cards and had plenty of success \u2013 even if their records are pretty different. While Logan has flirted with other things \u2013 including professional wrestling \u2013 Jake has continued to make strides in boxing as both a fighter and promoter. Though, he has also explored doing other things, and has repeatedly stated that he wants to get involved with Mixed Martial Arts. The pair both have backgrounds in amateur wrestling from their high school days in Ohio, and while the UFC might be the end goal for them, they\u2019ve again been offered the chance to get involved with Bellator and fight some decent standard of opposition. Bellator boss Scott Coker, who has been open to having the Pauls in his promotion previously, was again asked about them possibly getting involved given all the recent talk about possible MMA switches. \u201cWe\u2019ve had conversations with his brother and Jake about \u2018What does MMA mean to you guys?\u2019 and \u2018What do you guys wanna do?\u2019 and there is an ongoing dialogue, and if they wanted to really get down and really get serious and do it, we could bring them in,\u201d Coker told TMZ Sports. Coker noted that they would need some serious training, but believes they\u2019d be ready in around a year and could fight some of Bellator\u2019s top stars \u2013 even if the brothers wouldn\u2019t be at a championship level. As noted, both Logan and Jake have teased at least doing one MMA fight before, and while Jake has had beef with the UFC, he believes he\u2019ll eventually fight inside the Octagon. Whether or not they\u2019ll ever trade the boxing gloves for MMA gloves remains to be seen, but it won\u2019t be for a lack of trying from promoters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jake &#038; Logan Paul offered chance to fight top MMA stars if UFC plans fail Instagram: Logan PaulLogan and Jake Paul have an open offer from Bellator if they want to make the switch to MMA, and the brothers could square off against some top names \u2013 even if they\u2019re not fighting for championships.
