Boxer Jake Paul has signed a multi-year agreement to fight in the Professional Fighters League, a mixed martial arts association founded in 2017. Paul announced Thursday that he will now also compete in mixed martial arts, better known as MMA.
Jake Paul, the YouTube GOOGL, -2.13% GOOG, -2.19% personality and boxer, has signed a multiyear agreement to fight in the Professional Fighters League, a mixed-martial-arts association founded in 2017.
“I’ve already disrupted boxing, and now it’s time to disrupt MMA,” said Paul in a video posted on his YouTube channel. “I know this is such a tough sport, and it’s not going to be easy, but if I could do it in boxing, I could do it in MMA.” That might not be enough to draw Diaz out, however. After Diaz’s retirement last year, he joked on Twitter that he wouldn’t return to professional fighting unless he could go up against Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
