Jake Paul tipped to win MMA title by former UFC champ if he ditches boxing YouTube: Showtime SportsFormer UFC champion Henry Cejudo believes Jake Paul has more chance of winning a world title in MMA than boxing, and is willing to help make it happen. Even though he\u2019s only got five fights under his belt, Jake Paul hasn\u2019t been shy in laying out what he wants to do in boxing. The YouTuber has stated that he wants to win a world title and retire undefeated, and even wants to add the likes of Saul \u2018Canelo\u2019 Alvarez to his growing list of knockouts. Though he also teased the possibility of swapping the boxing ring for the Octagon, and mixing it up in a promotion like Bellator if the UFC won\u2019t have him \u2013 even though he believes they will eventually cave and bring him in. While the 25-year-old has suggested that he would work with the likes of Khabib Nurmagomedov if he made the switch, only one MMA star has stepped up to the plate to help him, and that\u2019s \u2018Triple C\u2019 Henry Cejudo. The former UFC champion and Olympic gold medalist is willing to have Jake join his Fight Ready team in Phoenix, Arizona, provided he is serious about making the switch to MMA. \u201cWith the IQ that I have for MMA, if Jake Paul ever wants to come out to Fight Ready, to come out and train with me, I would take care of him dude,\u201d Cejudo said on the Triple C and Schmo Show. \u201cI think he has a better chance in Mixed Martial Arts to become a world champion than he does in boxing.\u201d The former Flyweight king said he would be \u201cmore than willing\u201d to help train Jake and that the \u201coffer is on the table.\u201d Though, he won\u2019t hold it against him if he turns it down either. .@jakepaul I’d love for you to come out to Phoenix and train with me at Fight Ready. If you’d rather tell me to F off, it’s all good. The offers on the table.

However, he is yet to name an opponent. A full-time switch to MMA may come later down the line, but we\u2019ll just have to wait and see what happens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
