5 UFC legends Jake Paul could realistically fight next

#4. Jake Paul vs. Rashad Evans

Rashad Evans fits the mold of classic Jake Paul opponents. He's a wrestling-based fighter who's far removed from his physical prime. The only challenge Evans can present is that unlike Askren and Woodley, 'Suga' won't be undersized in a hypothetical matchup against Paul.

Evans stands at 5'10", just three inches shorter than Paul. In comparison, Paul's last opponent Woodley is 5'9". Evans can also match Paul's size. He competed in the UFC light heavyweight division (205 pounds) during his heyday.

So far, Paul has only fought fighters who are way smaller than him. Both Woodley and Askren competed at welterweight (170 pounds). In his last fight, Paul weighed in at 198 pounds.

Interestingly, Evans has already expressed his willingness to crossover into boxing and fight one of the Paul brothers. It will be up to Jake and Logan to decide if a matchup with the former UFC light heavyweight champ piques their interest.

#3. Jake Paul vs. Michael Bisping

If Jake Paul wants to increase his level of competition, taking on former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping is the way to go.

'The Problem Child' has already challenged the Englishman to a boxing bout before. However, Bisping has said in the past that he has no interest in coming out of retirement. But he did remain open to the possibility.

Should Paul succeed in convincing 'The Count' to lace his gloves up, it would make for an interesting matchup. Bisping, of course, was one of the most talented technical strikers in the UFC when he was active. Unlike Paul's past victims, Bisping is capable of going toe-to-toe with the YouTube star and has the stamina to go the distance without gassing out.

However, there's one glaring problem with Bisping, which is likely the reason Paul is itching to get in the ring with him. It's widely known that the UFC legend only has one eye. He lost his right one following his fight with Vitor Belfort in 2013.

In hindsight, Bisping's partial loss of vision made his title win at UFC 199 even more impressive. Now that the cat is out of the bag, though, it won't be surprising to see opponents exploit Bisping's impairment if 'The Count' ever returns to action.
