UFC\u2019s Paddy Pimblett wants Jake Paul fight if he beats Mike Perry YouTube\/MOLA\/Instagram\/JakePaulUFC star Paddy \u2018The Baddy\u2019 Pimblett is open to a fight with Jake Paul, if the YouTuber-turned-boxer can defeat \u2018Platinum\u2019 Mike Perry and the price is right. On July 20, Jake Paul makes his return to the boxing ring, but it\u2019s not against the opponent that he was supposed to take on. The YouTuber-turned-boxer was originally scheduled to fight \u2018Iron\u2019 Mike Tyson, but an ulcer flare-up saw the 58-year-old need to pull out after the first press conference. Former UFC fighter \u2018Platinum\u2019 Mike Perry, who has a 0-1 boxing record, has been drafted in as Tyson\u2019s replacement and has already stated that he intends to disrupt Jake\u2019s plans to meet \u2018Iron\u2019 Mike in November. If Jake can beat Perry, he doesn\u2019t just have that fight with Tyson to look forward to, as UFC star Paddy \u2018The Baddy\u2019 Pimblett has thrown his hat into the ring. \u201cIf Jake Paul sends a contract over for a couple of million dollars, lad, and wants to fight me, let\u2019s do it\u2026,\u201d the scouser told BestOnlinePokerSites on July 17. \u201cWe\u2019re prize fighters at the end of the day. That\u2019s what people forget. We\u2019re prize fighters, we do this to get paid. It\u2019s all about money.\u201d The UFC lightweight even praised Jake for taking on Perry, stating that he\u2019s only fought \u201cclowns\u201d to this point. \u201cMike Perry is a boxer, he\u2019s a striker, he\u2019s got hands. So I\u2019ll be honest, Jake Paul has gained a little bit of respect from me for that,\u201d Pimblett added. \u201cI didn\u2019t think he\u2019d fighting someone as good as Mike Perry, so it would be good to see how he does. It will be interesting to see how he does.\u201d \u2018The Baddy\u2019 had been on the radar of Jake\u2019s brother, Logan, for a while when he was flirting with trying to get involved with the UFC. It\u2019d be interesting if he swapped the cage for the boxing ring, seeing as Pimblett isn\u2019t massively renowned for his striking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
