‘A quick pay cheque’ – Jorge Masvidal open to Jake Paul fight when he finishes with UFC and ‘hit him so ‘f***ing hard’

, ‘A quick pay cheque’ – Jorge Masvidal open to Jake Paul fight when he finishes with UFC and ‘hit him so ‘f***ing hard’

JORGE MASVIDAL has opened the door to a fight with Jake Paul – but only after his career in the UFC is done.

Paul has called out the UFC welterweight recently, despite the pair previously training together.

But Masvidal fights Leon Edwards on December 11 next and still has aspirations of winning the UFC title, despite consecutive defeats to champion Kamaru Usman.

And he believes a mega-money boxing match with Paul will still be on the table once his time in the octagon comes to a close.

Masivdal said on the MMA Hour: “Right now, where I’m at in my career, I’m gonna fight the world’s best fighters in the world.

“We can both agree that they’re in the f***ing UFC. In 170 pounds there’s a lot of good guys and I could f***ing beat them.

“And I’m gonna get the most money out of it, my brother.

“Now when I’m done beating up world-class fighters, if this will still be around, I’ll go and collect a quick pay cheque for hitting him so f****** hard in front of the whole world.

“Those other options will always be there. But right now while I’m in my prime, I gotta do things that people in their prime do and that’s fight the world’s best. He’s not in that conversation or ever will be.”

Masvidal, 36, linked up with Paul, 24, earlier in the year when the YouTube star fought his ex-opponent Ben Askren, 37.

Askren was knocked out in one round which saw the American social media sensation go 3-0 as a boxer.

But then Paul signed to face Masvidal’s friend and training partner Tyron Woodley, 39, which started a feud between the pair.

Paul called Masvidal an ‘air head’ and revealed aspirations to fight the former UFC title challenger.

But Masvidal hit back: “He knows at the end of the day, on a face-to-face. Unless he has his 50 bodyguards and I’m by myself.

“Because at the end of the day I can always pick this little kid up and slam him through the concrete so hard that he will be invalid for the rest of his life.”

Paul is 4-0 as a boxer with wins over online rival ‘AnEsonGib’, ex-NBA player Nate Robinson as well ex-UFC pair Askren and Woodley.

Masvidal meanwhile was beaten by UFC welterweight king Usman, 34, in July 2020 and then knocked out in their April rematch.

He will return against Britain’s Edwards, 30, three years after their backstage brawl at UFC London.
