After achieving his 11th boxing victory by defeating Mike Tyson, Jake Paul began to flirt with the idea of ​​moving from the ring to the octagon. The 'problem boy' used his social media to target a duel against none other than Conor McGregor. However, with no response from the Irishman, another former champion decided to intervene to defend MMA.

Rampage Jackson, a veteran and sports icon, was furious with Paul's challenge. According to him, the YouTuber's recent victory over Mike Tyson was the last straw. Jackson accused Jake Paul of disrespecting combat sports and, therefore, challenged him to an MMA fight with no weight limit.

"Hey, Jake Paul, watch how you talk to MMA royalty. I will fight you in MMA with no weight limit and no pay. It’s a great deal… but I bet YOU won’t take it. Stop disrespecting people in my damn sport, bro. Fighting Tyson was your last straw… go back to boxing wrestlers,” wrote the former UFC light heavyweight champion.
