Jake Paul ripped by former UFC champion for claiming he\u2019d win in MMA Instagram: Jake PaulFormer UFC Flyweight king Demetrious \u2018Mighty Mouse\u2019 Johnson urged Jake Paul to actually go through with his claims of getting involved with MMA by stepping inside the cage for at least one fight. As Jake Paul has made waves in the world of boxing, he hasn\u2019t been shy about wanting to get involved with Mixed Martial Arts either. The social media can count wins over Tyron Woodley and Ben Askren on his boxing record, and he also wants to add Conor McGregor to that too. Outside of the ring, Jake has repeatedly gone after UFC President Dana White, called out Jorge Masvidal for a bout, as well as gotten into things with Nate Diaz as he\u2019s talked about wanting to step inside the cage. The YouTuber-turned-boxer is pretty confident in his abilities \u2013 believing he can beat McGregor with a first-round knockout \u2013 and former UFC Champion Demetrious Johnson wants to actually see him back those claims up. \u2018Mighty Mouse\u2019, who now fights for the ONE Championship promotion, spoke to MMA Junkie about Jake\u2019s apparent desire to make the switch from boxing to MMA and had some pointed words for the YouTube star. \u201cIf Jake Paul thinks he\u2019s so f**king bad at boxing and all that stuff, hats off. You\u2019re 3-0, 4-0 as a boxer. Do f**king mixed martial arts,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cI did an interview the other day and I was like, \u2018Everybody is worried about fighting this person, let\u2019s see how much money I can make from this person.\u2019 I was like, \u2018Just do mixed martial arts.\u2019 You think you\u2019re that great, just do it.\u201d The Flyweight king further urged Jake to make the switch, at least to try it. \u201cFor me, when someone is like, \u2018Ah blah, blah, blah, you MMA guys suck.\u2019 It\u2019s like, \u2018Then come do it.\u2019 If you\u2019re successful, good job. You lose, you tried it,\u201d he said. Despite claiming he\u2019d step into the cage at some point, Jake is seemingly more focused on boxing, as he prepares for a fight in August against a yet to be determined opponent. Who knows if he\u2019ll make the switch later down the line, but it has got plenty of interest behind it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
