After losing to the hands of Tommy Fury on February 27, just about everybody is wondering what\u2019s in store next for Jake Paul. While he\u2019s still yet to go to blows with his rival KSI, it\u2019s no secret the younger Paul brother is looking for a few more bouts under his belt before the big fight. The YouTube star has eyed up bouts with some of the best fighters in the world, including the likes of Conor McGregor, and even Floyd Mayweather \u2014 who he recently had a heated encounter with. MMA fighter Jorge Masvidal is among those who Jake has looked to get in the ring \u2014 even going as far to say he\u2019d knock out the UFC star. But, according to Masvidal, Jake isn\u2019t ready yet. Jorge Masvidal discusses potential Jake Paul bout Appearing as a special guest on The DAZN Boxing Show, UFC star Jorge Masvidal discussed a potential fight with the YouTuber. However, with 50 pro fights under his belt, the 38-year-old MMA fighter believes Jake isn\u2019t ready to face him: \u201cJake Paul wouldn\u2019t be ready for that heat,\u201d Misvidal said. \u201cI\u2019m throwing with bad intentions and I\u2019m a pro with 50 fights. I\u2019m not gonna get tired throwing heat and I\u2019m there to take your head off. You\u2019re gonna have to do some really evasive things in that ring to get away from me. Jake hasn\u2019t hit that stride yet.\u201d In March 2022, Jake was accused of dodging UFC fight offer from Jorge, with the latter also claiming that the YouTuber made a \u201chorrible\u201d offer for a boxing match. Currently, Misvidal is gearing up to take on Gilbert Burns at UFC 287, whereas Jake looks for redemption as a rematch with Tommy Fury looks to be on the cards. However, it would be interesting to see the two touch gloves in the ring, or the octagon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jorge Masvidal explains why Jake Paul \u2018isn\u2019t ready\u2019 to fight him UFC fighter Jorge Masvidal has discussed a possible fight with Jake Paul, who he claims isn\u2019t ready for the heat.
