Rapper turned PFL part-owner Wiz Khalifa is interested in bringing Jake Paul to his fight promotion.

The social media celebrity has been churning out a successful boxing career for himself and is currently 5-0 as a professional.

Paul has frequently spoken about his desire to compete in MMA down the line and due to his rocky relationship with the UFC, it appears unlikely that he will ever sign for the MMA leader.

Khabib Nurmagomedov has already made a play for Paul who he was hoping would compete on one of his Eagle FC cards.

The 25-year-old has since claimed that anyone hoping to bring him to MMA would have stump up some serious money.

“There is [interest to do MMA] and not in the near future but in the medium term,” Paul recently said. “I would need to practice my kicks and a little more on the jiu-jitsu side for like two years, maybe two and a half years before I would do that. Unless the money was really right but no one’s brought anything to the table that’s interesting enough.”

“I would need more than what I make in boxing to risk going into MMA right now,” Paul added. “People would have to come $25, $35 million dollars to just start the conversation with me.”

Wiz Khalifa & PFL Join The Race To Sign Jake Paul

During a recent interview with TMZ Sports, Khalifa expressed his interest in signing Paul to PFL.

“It’ll be tight if he fought for PFL, he’s a cool guy. So, wherever he ends up, he’s gonna bring a lot of excitement,” Khalifa said.

The rapper then reaffirmed his interest in signing Paul by saying “hell yeah” when the reporter asked him to confirm his interest in bringing ‘The Problem Child’ to PFL.

Khalifa added that “he’s good” when assessing how Paul would do in MMA.

Do you think Wiz Khalifa can convince Jake Paul to sign with PFL?

Rapper Wiz Khalifa is open to getting inside the octagon and making his MMA debut with PFL.

PFL and Khalifa have recently partnered together and now Khalifa has gone on record about a possible debut with the organization. Khalifa has made a song for the league called ‘Million Dollar Moment’ that he played during their tournament.

In an interview with Maxim, Khalifa said “I’ve always been a boxing fan and when MMA started to become big, my cousins convinced me to start training in jiu-jitsu, That was about 5 years ago. I love watching and [fighting is] definitely something I think about, but for now I’m happy as an owner. But you never know. I am always training so if the opportunity presents itself and is something that could be fun and good for everyone, I could see myself getting in the ring.”

Khalifa has been an avid fan of MMA and went through a transformation where he gained 35 pounds from training. He has not committed to getting inside the octagon, but he didn’t close the door on the opportunity either. It also seems the PFL would love to have Khalifa get in there and test his skills as well. CEO of the PFL Peter Murray said, “If Wiz ever wants to get in the cage, whether it be for an exhibition, for charity, or for a professional bout, he’s got the PFL in his corner. He knows who to call.”

Khalifa has all the means to get into the octagon, but it seems only time will tell if he actually will.

Would you encourage Wiz Khalifa to test his skills in the PFL?
