Jake Paul says his MMA fighting debut is \u201ccoming soon\u201d YouTube: BS w\/ Jake PaulYouTube boxer Jake Paul says he\u2019s finally getting into the world of mixed martial arts and is working with a \u201cbig organization\u201d to make his MMA dreams come true. Jake Paul is one of the biggest faces in the world of influencer boxing. Boasting an undefeated 5-0 record, he\u2019s now gearing up to take on one of combat sports\u2019 greatest champions in October \u2014 Anderson Silva. Although Jake has focused on boxing for the past four years, he\u2019s also expressed an intense desire to get into mixed martial arts\u2026 even to the point of directly calling out UFC prez Dana White multiple times. Unfortunately, a stint in the UFC never came about for \u2018The Problem Child\u2019 \u2014 but it looks like his big break might finally be on the horizon, according to a recent statement he made during a September 29 episode of his \u2018BS\u2019 podcast. Jake Paul teases big MMA announcement Celebrity guest (and Jake\u2019s former boxing opponent) Tyron Woodley asked the YouTuber when he would ever get into MMA, and the influencer teased a surprising mixed martial arts project he\u2019s working on alongside a \u201cbig\u201d organization. \u201cI\u2019ve got an announcement coming soon,\u201d Jake said. \u201cI can just tease that, that I\u2019m working with a big organization right now on a whole thing in MMA that also has to do with me fighting and we\u2019re gonna have an announcement soon. I want to do it.\u201d \u201cJavier Mendez said he would train me. So I\u2019ll go to AKA. I\u2019ll probably need like a year, year and a half to get the kicks down. I already know jiu-jitsu. \u2026I wanna be able to do everything in there. At least checking kicks. I know how to wrestle already.\u201d (Topic begins at 55:04) For now, it\u2019s not certain what, exactly, Jake\u2019s big \u201cannouncement\u201d will be \u2014 but it\u2019s looking likely he\u2019ll step into the octagon at some point in the future. Until then, he\u2019s gearing up for his bout against Anderson Silva on October 29 while he continues to feud with Floyd Mayweather as talks of a possible match between the two stars continue to rise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
