One of the most recognizable of those bidding for Paul is former UFC lightweight champion turned promoter Khabib Nurmagomedov. But Paul, in his signature style, made a counteroffer to sign with Eagle FC only if he gets to fight the undefeated Dagestani himself.

‘The Problem Child‘ has now revealed what it would cost Nurmagomedov to bring him into the MMA cage with 4-ounce gloves. And it’s way more than some MMA fighters make in a lifetime!
“You know, not to hate on anything they’re doing, but it’s like we’re talking. I would need more than what I need in boxing to risk going into MMA right now. So, yeah, people would have to come with 25-35 million dollars to even start a conversation with me.”
“I would fight Khabib in MMA if they wanted to make that offer.”
“Yeah, cuz, that would be like exciting. Like that would excite me and especially like if I had more time to train. That’d be a massive fight, right? Probably a million 2 million pay-per-view buys and all I would have to do is just work on my wrestling skills. Cuz I could out-strike him standing up.”
Jake Paul released a Dana White diss track
Before Jake Paul embarked on a boxing career, ‘The Problem Child’ was regular in the ‘Diss Track’ market. Paul used diss tracks as his go-to weapons to shut down his haters and competitors. The social media influencer did not even spare his brother Logan Paul as he released a brutal diss track about him.
Now, looking back at his arsenal, Paul has done the same for UFC President Dana White.
