UFC legend wants Jake Paul fight next & will put his entire paycheck on the line Wade PlemUFC legend Luke Rockhold is eager to take on Jake Paul as his next boxing opponent, and he\u2019d even do it while putting his entire payday on the line. Since stepping into the world of boxing, Jake Paul has been challenged by fighters from all different walks of life. Upcoming boxers, former world champions, and celebrities looking to get their first start inside the ring have all called him out at some point or another. However, Tommy Fury aside, his boxing record has been made up of former MMA fighters who are making the move over from fighting inside a cage. Most recently, he defeated Nate Diaz by a unanimous decision, and the pair have talked about doing a return fight inside the PFL cage. However, there are some other interesting names out there who want to mix it up with Jake. Luke Rockhold wants to fight Jake Paul That includes former UFC Light Heavyweight and Middleweight champion Luke Rockhold wants in on fighting Jake Paul now that he\u2019s moved on from the MMA promotion. Rockhold, who has tried his hand in the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, is even willing to up the stakes with Jake by putting his entire payday on the line. \u201cI\u2019d thrive in that opportunity, I\u2019d all but promise you that I put this kid to sleep and I put my whole paycheck on it but he doesn\u2019t want to challenge himself against a real fighter. Someone who is gonna bite down and put it down you know,\u201d he told MMA journalist Chamatkar Sandhu. \u201cIt\u2019s like with boxing, it\u2019s yeah I mean he did fight Tommy Fury but Tommy Fury ain\u2019t like a legitimate boxer trying to go up the ranks, he\u2019s just doing those show fights, trying to stay relevant in his space but he ain\u2019t a killer.\u201d Timestamp of 20:45 As of writing, Jake\u2019s next fight hasn\u2019t been announced just yet, with plenty of attention on his brother, Logan, who is fighting on the PRIME Card on October 14. Jake does have a contract with the PFL for an MMA fight, so, that may take precedence over a return to the boxing ring. But, we\u2019ll have to wait and see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
