Former UFC star Ben Askren is eyeing a rematch with Jake Paul in MMA after the YouTube star signed a deal with PFL.
Askren previously challenged Paul in the boxing ring back in 2021 where he was brutally knocked out by the content creator in the opening round. Paul has since gone on to move to 6-0 as a professional boxer, and has now signed a deal to make his debut in MMA working with promotion PFL.
Paul will compete in the UFC rival's new pay-per-view 'super-fight' division next year where he will be permitted to fight both in the boxing ring and in the cage. And Askren, who has yet to compete since his squared circle showdown with the 'Problem Child', has admitted he would love to arrange another showdown with Paul in more familiar settings.
