Will Jake & Logan Paul move to MMA? Bellator president encourages YouTubers to switch Instagram: Jake PaulBellator President Scott Coker has encouraged brothers Jake and Logan Paul to come to the mixed martial arts company, stating that it would be \u201ca lot of fun\u201d. Jake and Logan Paul\u2019s incredibly successful transition from YouTube content creation to boxing has been a surprise for many fans of the sport, and of the brothers. They have been involved in a number of lucrative fights, with Logan\u2019s recent bout with Floyd Mayweather thought to have paid the undefeated boxing legend $100m. Naturally, there is interest in the brothers from fighters and fighting companies alike. Boxing great Mike Tyson signalled his interest in a fight with Logan, and Bellator President Scott Coker has now encouraged both brothers to sign for his MMA company. Speaking on talk show The MMA Hour, Coker encouraged the brothers to join: \u201cThey\u2019re hard workers, they\u2019re grinding out their camps, doing what they do\u2014both the brothers\u2014and they\u2019re getting better. These guys are getting better and better and better. Don\u2019t underestimate these kids fighting ability because they\u2019re putting in the work. My view of the whole thing is if they would ever want to come into MMA, we\u2019d love to have them in Bellator.\u201d Bellator is one of the largest fighting networks in the world, comparable in MMA to Dana White\u2019s UFC. While the Paul brothers have both flirted with the idea of going to MMA fights, rather than traditional boxing, neither have made their way into a cage yet. Timestamp: 59:30 Coker continued: \u201cAs these kids continue to get better, it\u2019s my hope that they come to MMA, that they try and test their skills in mixed martial arts. They have a wrestling background, they\u2019re athletic, young and I think it would be a lot of fun to watch them develop.\u201d While neither Paul brother has committed to a future in MMA, they are quickly becoming some of the hottest property in combat sports. We\u2019ll have to wait and see if Bellator can tempt them in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
