Jake Paul knocked out Nate Robinson in very convincing fashion. By now, you’ve heard it, seen it, and maybe even mocked it. So what’s next for the YouTube influencer? Well, that’s a little less defined to say the least.
Since Paul knocked out Robinson, there have been a plethora of hopeful opponents step up and start talking trash. It’s spread across lots of platforms, as challenges have been issued by everyone from Evander Kane to Le’Veon Bell.
As for Paul, he’s got his sights set on one particular organization; the UFC.
In a video shared by Marc Raimondi, Paul claims to be attempting to contact Dana White in hopes of setting up bouts with UFC fighters. While MMA athletes aren’t necessarily easy to transform into boxers, they certainly stand a bit more of a chance than retired NBAers.
A general call to the UFC world is step one for Paul, but he’s got his eyes set on one ultimate prize; a bout with the walking money man Conor McGregor.
It wouldn’t be McGregor’s first time in the ring. He famously boxed Floyd Mayweather back in 2017 in what was appropriately nicknamed “The Money Fight.” McGregor lost that one, but it was generally agreed that he showed decently well considering his training has not been boxing focused and he was fighting the undefeated Mayweather.
We’re still hoping for Evander Kane to get the call.
