Jake Paul may soon find himself in a real battle of the sexes.
The YouTube star has been fishing unsuccessfully in a boxing match against UFC star Conor McGregor for a long time, but instead of this clash another of the sport’s biggest stars offered her services on Tuesday: Amanda Nunes, considered by many to be the best female MMA fighter of all time.
It was the culmination of a strong back-and-forth between Paul and UFC President Dana White, who has been dragging her feet over the Paul-McGregor match but said Monday she was “thinking about letting Amanda Nunes shake your ass. “
The female rooster and featherweight champion tweeted “I’m on” Wednesday.
After his win over former NBA player Nate Robinson, Jake Paul is now playing a much higher profile match to prove he is serious about breaking into the world of professional wrestling.
He claims to have offered the Irish wrestler $ 50 million for a showdown.
“You are afraid to fight me, Conor !! You’re hooking me up because you don’t want to get lost with a fucking YouTuber, ”he said in a wild video filmed Monday, according to TMZ.
“You are 0-1 as a boxer. I’m a 2-0 boxer, ”he added, referring to McGregor’s 2017 loss to Floyd Mayweather, Jr., the second highest-grossing pay-per-view fight in history.
Nunes is widely regarded as one of the most successful fighters in history and is one of three fighters to have won titles in two weight classes at once. She is also the only fighter in history to have defended two titles while holding both.
The UFC has not yet released a statement on the proposed fight.
