YouTube sensation Jake Paul will now transition into MMA following a mildly successful stint in boxing. Despite, having an undefeated record and beating UFC legend Anderson Silva, ‘The Problem Child’ feels it’s time to move over to other combat sports with MMA being his next choice.

Paul has signed a multi-year contract with the upcoming promotion PFL. The deal will also include the creation of a new weight division, the Pay-per-view Super Fight Division. This will be a separate division from the original PFL roster and will include fighters with more brand value. Moreover, it looked like the Ohio-based boxer was more than excited to transition into MMA as he shared his thoughts on the move.

Jake Paul makes a wild announcement following his PFL signing

In an interview, Paul claimed that he was now going to plan and revolutionize MMA like he did boxing. He stated that he has already made waves in boxing and now wants to do the same with Mixed Martial Arts. “I’ve already disrupted boxing, and now it’s time to disrupt MMA,” he said.

However, despite his bold proclamation, the fans were having none of Paul’s boasting, as they were quick to put him in his place. In addition, they mercilessly trolled him for making such claims without anything to back them up.

Fans sound off on Jake Paul’s announcement

One fan stated that Paul was now going to fight a retired boxer in an MMA setting, a formula he applied in boxing. “Now he’s going to fight retired boxers in MMA rules.” he wrote.
