5 times celebrities challenged MMA fighters to a fight

#2. Jake Paul vs. Jorge Masvidal ( 35-15-0 MMA record)

Jake Paul at Usman v Masvidal 2

After defeating Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley, Jake Paul set his eyes on another MMA star: Jorge Masvidal. He recently took to Twitter to ask Dana White to allow a fight with his "star talent".

As mentioned in the tweet, if the fight were to materialize, it would be Paul's first fight with an MMA combatant still arguably in their prime. Both Tyron Woodley and Ben Askren came out of retirement to face Jake Paul in the ring.

Masvidal too seems open to fighting either Jake or his brother Logan. In an interview with ESPN MMA, he said:

"I'm gonna beat up all the Pauls. If they put money in my pocket—that Logan Paul dude, Jake Paul, whoever Paul dudes—if they put money in my pocket, of course I'd like to break some Disney characters' faces."

#1. Jake Paul vs Conor McGregor ( 22-6-0 MMA record)

If there are two individuals it's difficult to take the limelight from, it's Jake Paul and Conor McGregor. The star YouTuber has been calling out McGregor for quite some time. He challenged Conor back in 2020 after the Nate Robinson fight, but the Irishman declined.

Verbal bashing has been going on for quite some time between the two. McGregor's involvement in an incident in Italy has once again sparked speculation concerning a Jake Paul vs. Conor McGregor fight. Conor was in Italy recently when he attacked a DJ and Paul hasn't been quiet about it.

Immediately after the incident, Paul took to Twitter to call out the Irish fighter. Accusing Conor of being on drugs, Paul threw open his challenge to meet him in the ring. McGregor is yet to accept it.
