It remains to be seen if or when Jake Paul will make his mixed martial arts debut, but there was one recent rumor involving the YouTube personality turned boxer that generated some discussion in the combat sports community.
Last week, BJJ World published a report from justbleedmma.com that Paul would be making his MMA debut against retired UFC welterweight contender Demian Maia. The Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace, who works now as UFC Fight Pass Brazil commentator, replied immediately.
“I´m totally in,” Maia wrote, while tagging Paul.
Carlos Barreto, who is Maia’s broadcast partner, analyzed the report on his Papo de Luta podcast.
