The 26-year-old YouTuber turned boxer is aiming to make his MMA debut at Professional Fighters League (PFL). Founded by venture capitalist, Donn Davis, the PFL was established as an MMA fighting promotion launched in 2018.

The promotion has recently signed Jake Paul as an MMA fighter and named him as the Head of Fighter Advocacy. Jake Paul’s callouts to Dana White and the UFC in the past in relation to the fighter’s pay controversy have helped Paul represent fighters in the PFL.

The Problem Child has promised a 50-50 split in payout to the fighters fighting in the PFL, unlike the UFC which pays a very small percentage of the PPV revenues to the fighters. The PFL has also created a specific new division called the ‘Super fight’ division wherein influencer boxing and fights would take place.

Paul had previously called out Nate Diaz to offer him a two-fight contract, one in boxing and the second in MMA. Diaz is a Jiu Jitsu Black belt under Cesar Gracie and is known for his submission finishes with the recent finish coming from his fight against UFC fighter, Tony Ferguson at welterweight.
