AJ McKee on Jake Paul
Jake Paul shocked the world when he knocked out former UFC welterweight champion, Tyron Woodley in a rematch. He dropped Woodley with a big right hand, and it was by far the most impressive win of his professional career. He is 5-0 in boxing, and he showed interest in making a transition to MMA.
Jake and his brother Logan Paul used to wrestle during their high school days, and during an interview before the fight, Jake admitted that he’s tempted by the world of MMA, and he believes he can be incredibly successful inside the octagon as well, he said, I don’t see why if I can do boxing at that high of a level, I couldn’t do MMA at this high of a level. I’m gonna go get coached up by Javier Mendez, Team Khabib, and that’s that. They’re down. A 100%.”
AJ McKee believes Jake Paul needs right guidance to begin his MMA journey
Bellator’s featherweight champ, AJ McKee is impressed by Jake’s growth. He believes he has unlimited potential, and he should train with him to begin his MMA journey. In an interview with TMZ Sports, he said, “S**t, he better come train with me but he could do good, you know what I mean. I feel like anybody that has a mindset and sets their mind on achieving a goal. The mind is a very powerful thing so if he wants to do it, he can do it.”
He added, “I think he has already shown his skills and what he can do in boxing. So, if he wants to take it to a different lane, why not? I’ll train anybody. If you’re trying to be the best, you know where to come. I’ve seen anybody and everybody you can think of – from Rampage, Randy Couture, Chuck Liddell, Tyron Woodley, anybody you can think of – I’ve seen in our gym.”
