Jake Paul has made waves with his move into mixed martial arts after signing a multi-fight deal with Professional Fighters League (PFL). He has even sent a fight proposal to Nate Diaz to be his first MMA opponent. Conor McGregor has given his reaction to the ‘Problem Child’ venturing into the MMA scene.

All of Jake Paul’s MMA bouts will be on pay-per-view. There has never been a shortage of headliner acts for Jake Paul. The new division of the PFL, Super Fight, will feature him. With six undefeated matches so far, he has had a successful boxing career. “I’ve proven myself in and out of the boxing ring and now I am going to do the same in MMA,” Paul stated in his recent YouTube video.

Even former UFC interim lightweight champion, Tony Ferguson, has offered to train Paul as his MMA coach going forward. Paul had stated that he would be presenting 50 percent of all the revenue from his fights to his opponent fighters. But Conor McGregor wasn’t impressed with that. He talked about this in a tweet that he later deleted.
