Jake Paul Accepts Khabib Nurmagomedov’s Offer to Fight in Eagle FC but Has One Condition
Follow Us
Jake Paul is a huge name in combat sports. The YouTuber broke into the limelight with a statement win over Nate Robinson in 2020. Subsequently, he engaged in multiple call-outs and secured fights against former UFC welterweight champ Tyron Woodley.
In 2022, he trended over the internet regarding an MMA debut, possibly in the UFC. However, citing the beef he shares with UFC supremo Dana White, it’s unlikely ‘The Problem Child’ will ever strike a UFC contract.
Hence, ex-UFC lightweight king, Khabib Nurmagomedov, sneaked in to sign Jake Paul. Taking to Twitter, the Eagle FC promoter wrote, “the doors of @EagleFightClub always open for you and your team.”

This is not the first time Paul looked to trace a fight with any UFC star. Since the beginning, his radar has always been on Dana White’s fighters. A few days back, he yet again called out the elites like Conor McGregor.
Paul gave a challenge to Dana White with a few conditions in his list. He added that he would retire from boxing and fight Jorge Masvidal in the UFC if White accepted those conditions. However, ‘The Eagle’s entry has made things interesting.
Will Khabib Nurmagomedov really offer a fight to Jake Paul?
Khabib Nurmagomedov took his last fight in the UFC against Justin Gaethje. After his win, he was clear on not entering the octagon to fight again as he made a promise to his mother.
