Jake Paul has made himself a big name in the world of combat sports. The internet celebrity turned boxer has now beaten the former UFC world champion, Tyron Woodley, not once, but twice. Ever since his win against Woodley, the fighter has been trying to beef with many UFC fighters. Paul even called out Dana White and offered to fight him.
Recently, The Schmo interviewed Javier Mendez, Khabib Nurmagomedov’s former coach, and asked him about Jake Paul coming in to train at his gym.

To that, Javier Mendez replied,” It could happen. But like anybody you know, we have to go through all the coaches and all the fighters that are here. And anybody that’s a famous athlete like him, you know, they will go through the routine that everybody does. So he would have to get voted by everybody. Not everybody. If there’s one person in particular that doesn’t want him here for that particular reason, he can’t be here. So everybody would have to vote.”
Javier Mendez, a coach for Khabib Nurmagomedov, is now coaching many other fighters such as Islam Makhachev and Zubaira Tukhugov. The Schmo handed out a prize to him for the success that Islam Makhachev has experienced in 2021.
Makhachev had a fantastic 2021. He has won three fights and beat the likes of Dan Hooker, Thiago Moises, and Drew Dober.

In his interview with The Schmo, Mendez revealed that even though Jake Paul and he had a conversation on text, ‘The Problem Child’ never asked to come and train with him.
Mendez said, “First of all, he’s never asked. Now what he’s done is he’s marketed himself out there beautifully… I sent him a text of encouragement, a heartfelt message. I felt it was the right type of message to send because it was legit and he, in turn, gave me a great return favor by talking about training with us.”
