Paddy Pimblett responds to Jake Paul\u2019s $1 million fight offer: \u201cCome to Vegas\u201d YouTube: Jake Paul\/MMA WeeklyUFC star Paddy \u2018The Baddy\u2019 Pimblett has responded to Jake Paul\u2019s $1 million challenge for a pre-fight spar, and he\u2019s open to clashing with \u2018The Problem Child\u2019 soon. Jake Paul has been in a war of words with a number of fighters over the last few years, with the YouTuber-turned-boxer constantly dishing out challenges for fights and other things. As he\u2019s sort of turned his attention away from Tommy Fury, putting fight offers out to three different fighters, he\u2019s somewhat circled back to targeting Mixed Martial Artists. In fact, UFC star Paddy Pimblett has found himself in Jake\u2019s crosshairs as \u2018The Problem Child\u2019 has offered him the chance to spar ahead of his next fight after he claimed that the YouTuber\u2019s fights are \u201cfixed.\u201d Even though a substantial amount of bragging rights would be on the line, Jake decided to sweeten the deal a bit by offering Pimblett $1 million to make it happen. And, well, the Scouser is interested. Paddy Pimblett hits back at Jake Paul\u2019s sparring offer Pimblett spoke to TMZ Sports shortly after Jake dished out his lucrative sparring offer, and put his interest on record. Though, he wanted Jake to fly to Las Vegas to make it happen rather than it going down in Puerto Rico. \u201cOf course, but I\u2019m under contract with the UFC and he\u2019s said this knowing full well that I\u2019m fighting next week,\u201d Pimblett said, confirming his interest. \u201cCome to the PI next week. Come to the PI next week and bring $1 million in a bag and I will spar with you. Let\u2019s do it, I\u2019m in Vegas from Thursday.\u201d The Baddy confirmed that he\u2019d be underweight in the days leading up to the fight, but he could stick around after and be closer to Jake\u2019s weight, making it a more even contest. While he\u2019s not the UFC\u2019s most natural striker, Pimblett confirmed he\u2019d be willing to box with Jake too. \u201cI think he\u2019s a decent boxer, now,\u201d he added. \u201cI think he\u2019d beat Tommy Fury, but I know he wouldn\u2019t beat me.\u201d As it stands, Jake has yet to respond to Pimblett\u2019s offer, so we\u2019ll have to wait and see if it comes to fruition. But it\u2019s certainly something that has gotten fans interested.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
