Jake Paul is set to make his MMA debut as early as this year under the PFL banner after suffering his first boxing loss.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer was undefeated as a professional until February when he dropped a split decision to Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia. And he has been working on his jiu-jitsu and kicking for a potential MMA bout after signing with the sport's No.2 promotion earlier this year and taking equity in the company.
Paul has a background in wrestling that pre-dates his career as a YouTube star as well as his boxing. In the ring, he has defeated former MMA world champions such as Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva, and he's dropped every opponent that he has faced including Fury.
