Jake Paul made the transition from YouTube star to boxer relatively quickly, and now it seems like he’s jumping into MMA head-first as well. He signed a contract with PFL earlier this month and he’s already got to work training for his eventual debut. Paul has managed to meet up with the head organizer for the ADCC world championships, Mo Jassim, and ATOS BJJ black belt Michael Perez.
PFL released some footage of Paul engaging in his first BJJ session with the pair of experienced grapplers, and he’s surprisingly capable. Paul has mentioned a background in wrestling in Ohio in the past, so he’s not entirely new to grappling even if he hasn’t spent any time learning BJJ in the past.
