Jake Paul has admitted the only UFC fighter he doesn't want to fight is middleweight champion Israel Adesanya.
Paul has made a point of calling out MMA fighters during his boxing career, managing to land knockout wins over legends Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley. He has also drawn out the likes of Daniel Cormier and Kamaru Usman into public feuds with him, and could face Nate Diaz when he leaves the promotion later this year.
But the one UFC fighter Paul wants no part of is the 185lb champion Adesanya, with whom he has been friends since November 2020, when they were both involved in the Mike Tyson comeback card. The UFC champion was commentating while Paul competed in the co-main event, where he brutally knocked out Nate Robinson.
