Jake Paul and his brother Logan might be building a real following in the combat sports community, but don’t expect UFC President Dana White to buy into their gimmick.
The siblings from Ohio, who became celebrities and social influencers thanks to a huge fanbase built on YouTube, have transitioned into the sport of boxing. Logan Paul fought online personality KSI as an amateur and professional, while Jake Paul competed twice as a pro, most recently knocking out ex-NBA player Nate Robinson in the co-headliner of Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr.
Following the Robinson knockout, Paul called out former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor while also taking shots at retired fighter Ben Askren and Bellator prospect Dillon Danis.
