However, he got nothing from UFC supremo Dana White, who dismissed him multiple times. Meanwhile, Khabib Nurmagomedov found an opportunity in Paul’s fame and offered him a deal for ‘Eagle FC’, but ‘The Problem Child’ disputed the fact that he got offered a deal.
“Yeah, there is, and not in the near future, but in like the medium term. Like, I would need to practice my kicks and a little bit more on the Jiu-Jitsu side. For like 2 years, maybe two and a half years, before I would do that. Unless the money was really right but like no one’s brought anything to the table, that’s interesting enough.”
“Like, even Khabib said ‘Oh, we offered him a deal,’ it’s not true, they never offered me anything. Like Eagle FC, I don’t think has ever even done an event. So, I don’t even know if they have,” Paul told Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour.
