The talks about Jake Paul stepping into the Octagon has again become a hot topic since he displayed his so-called MMA skills recently. In an interview with MMA Junkie, the social media personality hinted at his upcoming plans of rocking the MMA world. Though he tried too hard to keep it a secret, his excitement could not let him do that.

The Ohio-based controversial star turned prizefighter has his eyes set on top-notch names like former pound-for-pound Canelo Alvarez. Though he called out several boxing stars, he could not get a fight against them. Meanwhile, he managed to get a shot against the former UFC veterans, Tyron Woodley and Ben Askren. The victory over these stars gave him confidence. As a result, he challenged the reigning UFC fighters.
