Jake Paul has taken the boxing world by storm. The influencer boasts a spotless 5-0 record, including two victories against former UFC Welterweight Champion Tyron Woodley, with The Problem Child winning the rematch with a knockout. Despite his success, Jake has made it clear that he wants to fight against UFC stars in the octagon, even possibly one of the GOATs in Khabib Nurmagomedov. However, not everyone wants Paul to compete in MMA. Commentator Jon Anik explained how Paul might not enjoy his life if he switched from boxing. Jake Paul warned against fighting in UFC Speaking with DAZN, Anik said that he doubts that Paul will end up going into mixed martial arts. \u201cI just don\u2019t think that he wants to scratch that competitive itch. I think he is legitimately passionate about boxing,\u201d he said, before comparing Jake to former WWE-turned-UFC fighter CM Punk. \u201cCM Punk, for lack of a better example, he needed to scratch that itch. It didn\u2019t go the way he wanted it to. It didn\u2019t go the way he thought it would. But he needed that for his own peace of mind.\u201d Anik went on to claim that he doesn\u2019t believe Paul wants to devote his life to MMA and training the same way he has for boxing. \u201cJake Paul\u2019s not going to have a better retirement or enjoy any part of his life by scratching that MMA itch,\u201d he said, adding he doesn\u2019t believe Paul will end up in the UFC \u2013 but if he does, he hopes the matchmaking will be \u201cappropriate.\u201d Jake Paul may not be fighting again until September, but when he does, we\u2019ll have to see if it\u2019s in the octagon or a return to the boxing ring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
