After signing a contract with PFL, Jake Paul has been offered to get coached by Tony Ferguson for his much-awaited MMA debut. Jake Paul, after becoming a huge PPV star in the boxing scene, has decided to extend his success into MMA as well – and Tony Ferguson is all up for it.

“The Prblm Child”, after making a name for himself as a boxer has a professional record of 6-0-0 with 4 of the wins coming in the way of knockout. Jake Paul has already defeated MMA superstars, Tyrone Woodley and Ben Askren, in boxing. His most-notable win is the recent outing against UFC middleweight legend, Anderson Silva.

Since Paul can’t seem to not remain active in the fight scene, he chose to try his hands at MMA. His brother, Logan Paul, recently headlined the WWE Smackdown event. So it is safe to say that the brothers aren’t scared to try new things.

Jake Paul signed a contract with PFL under the PPV Superfight division where he would not just fight but also spearhead the division. Since his announcement, many MMA fighters who desire the huge purse have called him out, all but one – Tony Ferguson. “El Cucuy” instead of calling Jake Paul out for a fight, has offered to coach him in the different styles of MMA. “You can be one of my students- Champ“, tweeted Tony Ferguson. He can be very sure to live life comfortably if Paul chooses him as his coach.

The prospect of Jake Paul turning into a full-fledged MMA fighter with the knockout power he has got, under the guidance of El Cucuy. The coming days can be very entertaining for the fight fans if this happens.

“The Prblm Child” before facing Tyrone Woodley for the second time, expressed his interest in MMA. “Why not? If I can learn how to box in two years and beat people like [Woodley], then why can’t I learn how to do MMA in two years and beat people like him?”, Paul said in the press conference against Woodley.

When Woodley contested this statement, Jake Paul added, “People seem to forget that I was a state wrestler, division one in Ohio. That’s one of the hardest wrestling states and I don’t see why if I can do boxing at this high of a level I couldn’t do MMA at this high of a level. I’m going to go and get coached up by Javier Mendez, Team Khabib and that’s that.”

Paul also said that he first needs to be 12-0 or 10-0 in boxing. But “The Problem Child” made the switch much earlier than anticipated. Whatever his decision, we as fight fans can expect the fight scene to get spicy with him in the mix.
