Social media superstar Jake Paul was seen grappling with one of the hottest prospects in the UFC, Bo Nickal.

Although this may come as a surprise, the 26-year-old could use as much help as he could get heading into his PFL debut sometime this year.

Paul, who has often been ridiculed for fighting MMA fighters in a boxing ring rather than a cage, announced that he would be signing with the PFL on January 5th.

The now professional turned boxer has no MMA experience, so a session with grappling phenom Nickal certainly does not stain his learning period.

Nickal is a former three-time NCAA Division 1 national wrestling champion.

The 27-year-old middleweight is no veteran of the game himself, having only made his MMA debut in 2022, yet he has rallied an immense support in his brief 4-0 career.

This involves three-straight first round submissions under the UFC branch, including his pay-per-view debut where he flawlessly choked Jamie Pickett at UFC 285, as a massive -1800 favourite.

The two may not share much in common, but Nickal has offered to assist Jake Paul’s transition to MMA in the past, and he is signed under Paul’s betting company, Betr.

Jake Paul, who is coming off his first defeat in professional boxing against Tommy Fury, is yet to announce whether his next fight will take place in boxing or MMA, but a bout with the PFL in the near future is inevitable.

The heavily criticized Ohio native was very much disliked by the MMA community in the past, feuding with stars online such as Nate Diaz, Conor McGregor, and Jorge Masvidal to name a few.

Although, he was similarly hated for his antics heading into professional boxing, and he would like to prove his doubters wrong in an identical fashion.

Paul’s multi-year historic deal with the PFL includes a co-created pay-per-view division called “PFL PPV Super Fight,” a division that guarantees fighters will receive 50% of revenue from its events.

The PFL have not exactly hinted at Jake Paul’s potential opponents, although Paul was rumoured to have offered free agent Nate Diaz a two-fight deal.

Will Jake Paul reach the same stardom in MMA as he did in boxing?

Ryan Garcia says Floyd Mayweather can’t knock out Jake Paul; ‘I’ll 100% that’

Undefeated lightweight Ryan Garcia will return to the squared circle on April 22 for a highly anticipated showdown with Gervonta Davis.

Undefeated lightweight Ryan Garcia will return to the squared circle on April 22 for a highly anticipated showdown with Gervonta Davis.

With a little over a month to go before the 23-fight winner steps back into the ring, TMZ Sports caught up with Ryan Garcia to get his take on a potential matchup between boxing icon Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather and ‘The Problem Child’ Jake Paul. Garcia suggested that Mayweather would likely come out on top, but is confident that ‘Money’ won’t be able to finish the YouTuber-turned-professional boxer.

“Floyd’s getting up there in age, but he’ll probably still beat up Jake, but guess what? Jake won’t get knocked out,” Garcia said. “I’ll 100% that. He couldn’t knock out Logan.”

Ryan Garcia Comments on Altercation Between Floyd Mayweather and Jake Paul

Earlier this week, Floyd Mayweather and Jake Paul made headlines when the two parties had a brief altercation outside of the Miami Heat vs. Cleveland Cavaliers basketball game on Wednesday night. In a video released by TMZ, ‘Money’ appeared to approach Paul with a rather large entourage. Reportedly taking issue with comments Paul made about him previously, ‘The Problem Child’ can be seen running away from the situation after recognizing he was hilariously outnumbered.

“You shouldn’t be running up on a guy with 50 dudes,” Garcia commented. “That ain’t right if you want the truth of that, but it is what it is. I ain’t worried about that. I’m worried about knocking out Gervonta Davis and hopefully, Jakes comes out and shows everybody, ‘I’m with Ryan. Ryan’s gonna knock him out and put him to sleep.’“

Dana White isn’t buying Floyd Mayweather’s confrontation with Jake Paul; ‘I thought it was a skit’

Dana White believes the confrontation between Floyd Mayweather and Jake Paul earlier this week was nothing more than a stunt.

Dana White believes the confrontation between Floyd Mayweather and Jake Paul earlier this week was nothing more than a stunt.

On Wednesday evening, ‘Money’ rolled up on Jake Paul outside of the Miami Heat vs. Cleveland Cavaliers basketball game. Mayweather and his entourage approached ‘The Problem Child’ and the two parties shared some words before Paul ran away, knowing he was in an unfavorable situation. Paul later used the altercation as an opportunity to call for a fight with Mayweather on Instagram.

Speaking with TMZ Sports, UFC president Dana White shared his thoughts on the incident, believing it was nothing more than a publicity stunt between the two to muster up attention for a potential fight.

Dana White Calls Bullsh*t on Floyd Mayweather/Jake Paul Incident

“I just can’t see Floyd doing that,” White said. “I can’t see Floyd rolling up on somebody and doing that. It’s not Floyd’s style. It’s not really his personality. I thought it was a skit.”

“I’m not buying it,” Dana White continued. When’s the last time you saw Floyd Mayweather act like a thug and roll up on somebody with 50 people? That’s just not what Floyd does. Yeah, I’m not buying it.”

After TMZ released video of the incident, sources associated with Mayweather claimed that they were not lying in wait for Jake Paul outside of the arena, but was upset over comments made by Paul that the boxing icon believes crossed the line. “Jake crossed the line. This wasn’t about grabbing a hat. This was about Jake’s comments to Floyd about Floyd’s deceased family member and other below-the-belt inappropriate behavior,” a source associated with Mayweather said.

Addressing the situation on social media Paul said, “You wanna run it one on one, no problem. But I’m not dumb. Okay? I’m tough, I don’t need to prove my toughness., but I’m not f*cking dumb. I’m not gonna sit there and try to fight 50 dudes.“

UFC star Jorge Masvidal scoffs at potential Jake Paul fight: ‘He isn’t ready for that heat’

The UFC’s ‘BMF’ Jorge Masvidal is open to a potential fight with Jake Paul, but he does not believe Paul can handle him. Since his split decision against Tommy Fury in the first professional loss of Paul’s boxing career, he certainly has not failed to make headlines. Paul was seen running away from the altercation […]

The UFC’s ‘BMF’ Jorge Masvidal is open to a potential fight with Jake Paul, but he does not believe Paul can handle him.

Since his split decision against Tommy Fury in the first professional loss of Paul’s boxing career, he certainly has not failed to make headlines.

Paul was seen running away from the altercation which generated intense criticism online.

Just two days ago, TMZ captured video of Paul being confronted by Floyd Mayweather and his team after a Miami Heat game.

Masvidal and Paul, who have discussed a boxing event in the past, don’t exactly get along either.

Although, this was not always the case. When Paul was preparing for his boxing match with Ben Askren, Jorge Masvidal took Paul in and helped him prepare for the fight.

Once Paul defeated Askren and signed a contract to fight former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley, that’s where things started to go downhill.

“Yeah, so he started acting like a h*e. He switched up randomly one day; it was like. You know he has the same manager as Tyron, so of course, when I signed the deal with Tyron and then boom like he’s instantly like ‘F**k Jake Paul, Tyron’s going to beat this guy’s ass’. But I’m like, weren’t you the one asking me to hang out and do your little YouTube videos and shit?”

Their feud began to escalate and Paul ended up offering Jorge Masvidal $5 million plus a percentage of the pay-per-view to entice him into a fight.

Masvidal responded to the offer on Twitter, and not much word of the matchup developed since then.

1. The ufc isn’t gonna let me go for chump change.
2. Make that 20 guaranteed plus Ppv and I’m sure the ufc will be ok with it as long as I break them off their fee and then I’ll gladly break your face. https://t.co/2rcWvGyBl3

Jorge Masvidal distances himself from potential Jake Paul fight

However, since Paul’s defeat to Fury, Masvidal took his thoughts to the DAZN Boxing Show, and said that he still believes Paul would not stand a chance against him.

“Jake Paul wouldn’t be ready for that heat,” Jorge Masvidal said.

The 38-year-old MMA veteran has rallied 50 professional fights up to this point in his career, with his stardom peaking in 2019 as he headlined Madison Square Garden for the ‘BMF’ belt.

Masival has not yet given up on his UFC title dreams after failing to dethrone Kamaru Usman twice, and he will return at UFC 287 to face the dangerous Gilbert Burns.

As for Paul, there are countless opportunities that await him, while a rematch with Fury seems to be the most likely to happen.

Chael Sonnen slams Floyd Mayweather following Jake Paul altercation: ‘This is a crime’

Former UFC light heavyweight and middleweight title challenger, Chael Sonnen has hit out at former boxing world champion, Floyd Mayweather following his altercation with professional boxer, Jake Paul during a Miami Heat basketball game earlier this year – claiming the Michigan native’s attempt to jump the latter could be viewed as a crime. Earlier this […]

Earlier this week, footage was released detailing a heated altercation between Paul and Mayweather – as well as a slew of the Michigan native’s entourage during a Miami Heat game, in which Paul is threatened with physical violence.

During the run-in, Mayweather and members of his reported 50-deep entourage confront Paul, who backs away and eventually turns and runs from the situation, while the former shouts and taunts at the former unbeaten puncher.

Chael Sonnen slams Floyd Mayweather for Jake Paul altercation

Sharing his thoughts on the incident, Sonnen, claimed that the perpertrators were “cowardly” and “disgusting”.

“I watch the video and there’s all sorts of problems with this,” Chael Sonnen said on his YouTube channel. “First off, it is Floyd (Mayweather) and it is people with him. When you start to count them on camera, you come out to about four, but when you hear there was six, there was eight, 20, 50 … It makes it sound like there was more, maybe we didn’t see them, alright. All the rest of the story was true, I guess we should believe that.”

“You come out and this is a crime,” Chael Sonnen explained. “This is disgusting and this is cowardly what they did, but it’s a crime. Now you have one of Floyd’s people filmed the crime. That’s your real story. You’ve got to be a special kind of stupid. He films a crime and they intidimate Jake and the one guy says, “Hey, ya’ll. Should we rough him up?’ That right there becomes illegal. Then the guy answers his own question, ‘Yeah, let’s rough him up.” (Transcribed by MMA Fighting)

Off the back of the altercation, Paul lambasted Mayweather on social media, offering to fight the former multiple-time and weight boxing world champion.
