Jake Paul Wants A Ton Of Cash To Fight Khabib Nurmagomedov

Khabib Nurmagomedov will forever be considered as one of the best UFC fighters to have competed in the MMA world. He ended his MMA career for good back in March and since then has been enjoying his life in retirement. Khabib also admitted he could never be on Mike Tyson’s level. It seems Jake Paul finally revealed his conditions for fighting Khabib.

There was a lot of speculation regarding him returning to the UFC as he was still undefeated, with many believing he would come back to make his record an impressive 30-0. However, Dana White had confirmed back in March that the Russian fighter has retired for good.

Khabib previously took to Twitter and revealed that Jake Paul is more than welcome to compete in his Eagle FC MMA promotion. While speaking on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, Jake Paul revealed that he would only be open to fighting Khabib inside the Octagon if he is offered at least $25 million.

“You know, not to hate on anything they’re doing, but it’s like we’re talking. I would need more than what I need in boxing to risk going into MMA right now. So, yeah, people would have to come with 25-35 million dollars to even start a conversation with me.

I would fight Khabib in MMA if they wanted to make that offer.”

We will have to wait and see whether Jake Paul will eventually make his way to Khabib’s MMA promotion and fight him in the future or not.
