Jake Paul MMA debut still happening against \u201cbig name\u201d despite Tommy Fury loss YouTube: Jake PaulJake Paul\u2019s planned MMA debut is still on despite his recent loss to Tommy Fury, and PFL have given an update on the search for his opponent. Over the last few years, as he\u2019s fought numerous Mixed Martial Artists in the boxing ring, Jake Paul has constantly talked about wanting to make the switch and get inside the Octagon. While his feud with UFC boss Dana White has seen that particular door closed, he has signed a deal with PFL \u2013 the Professional Fighters League \u2013 to join their new \u2018Super Fight\u2019 division. He offered Nate Diaz the first crack at that, with a second fight in the boxing ring, but that seems to be off the table. Given that Jake is also keen to avenge his loss to Tommy Fury and there have been rumors of a rematch in July, there was talk that his MMA debut may have to be shelved. However, that doesn\u2019t appear to be the case. Jake Paul\u2019s MMA debut is still planned for 2023 In fact, the PFL are still planning on having him fight in the cage before the year is out, but they still haven\u2019t been able to lock down an opponent for Jake just yet. \u201cJake Paul is absolutely going to fight in 2023,\u201d PFL\u2019s Loren Mack told MMAMania. \u201cI mean, that\u2019s, that\u2019s been the plan all along. I know, he\u2019s in the gym, and he\u2019s training, taking it very seriously. So expect to see him in the PFL cage in 2023, and it\u2019s going to be MMA.\u201d Mack noted that there is \u201cnothing concrete yet\u201d about Jake\u2019s opponent, but there have been a few discussions. \u201cIf you know Jake, he will want a big name for his debut,\u201d he added. As noted, Jake has penned a \u201cmulti-year\u201d deal with PFL, but that was before he lost to Tommy and his plans got thrown out of whack. It remains to be seen just exactly when he\u2019ll step into the cage, but there\u2019s sure to be plenty of interest when he does.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
