Jake Paul challenged to first MMA fight by UFC star Paddy Pimblett YouTube\/UFC\/Instagram\/JakepaulUFC star Paddy Pimblett is calling out influencer-turned-boxer Jake Paul and challenging him to his first-ever MMA fight after the YouTuber voiced intent at switching combat sports. Jake Paul has taken the fighting world by storm. With an undefeated record of 5-0, including KOs against former mixed martial artists Tyron Woodley and Ben Asken, \u2018The Problem Child\u2019 has made quite a name for himself in the boxing scene. With his rise, Paul has frequently called out UFC President Dana White, demanding that he pay his fighters more. The beef has resulted in plenty of back-and-forths between the two, including a full music video dissing the UFC boss. Not everyone is on board with Paul\u2019s perceived help, though. UFC star Paddy Pimblett not only took issue with the YouTuber\u2019s antics, but he even voiced doubts about him wanting to fight in MMA. (Segment begins at 16:45 for mobile users) Paddy Pimblett challenges Jake Paul During an episode of the Chattin Pony podcast, Pimblett explained why he doesn\u2019t appreciate Jake Paul\u2019s war of words with Dana White. \u201cHe\u2019s going on, he\u2019s trying to act like a martyr, like he\u2019s helping MMA fighters. He\u2019s not, lad. He\u2019s just doing that for his own publicity,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s why the only thing what\u2019s pissing me off about it, people are like, \u2018Ah, he\u2019s actually being good for MMA fighters.\u2019 He\u2019s not. He just wants to make a show of Dana White, and that\u2019s the perfect way of doing it.\u201d Furthermore, \u2018Paddy The Baddy\u2019 slammed Paul\u2019s supposed MMA intentions, accusing the influencer of lying about his career goals. \u201cThe way he\u2019s saying, \u2018I\u2019m gonna end up getting in the cage.\u2019 You\u2019re not, lad. You\u2019re not. Stop lying,\u201d he blasted. \u201cIf you wanna have an MMA fight, I\u2019ll fight you in my ma\u2019s garden tomorrow. You know what I mean?\u201d This isn\u2019t the first time Paddy has challenged Jake Paul, either. Back in September 2021, the Englishman called Paul a \u201csausage\u201d and claimed he would \u201cpunch his face in.\u201d Whether or not the two end up facing off remains to be seen, but a potential bout between Pimblett and Paul could be the fresh fight fans want after Jake\u2019s rematch with Tyron Woodley sold considerably less than the two\u2019s first encounter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
