UFC great Donald Cerrone has revealed he’d like to face The Problem Child
Paul, 25, has picked up wins over former UFC champs Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva during his 6-0 career.
And former lightweight title challenger Cerrone would be open to being the fourth MMA fighter to take on The Problem Child.
During an appearance on the Thicc Boy FightClub Podcast, the retired Cowboy said: “Would I like to fight him? F***, of course.
“How could I say no to f***ing millions of dollars. So I would definitely go out there and do it.”
Cerrone, however, won’t verbally bash Paul to try to land a multi-million-pound showdown.
He continued: “But I’m not sitting over here and saying, ‘Jake, you’re a f***ing YouTuber, ain’t worth a f**k.’
“Nah, man. You’re making money. Make the f***ing money. And if you want to throw some of that money my way, I’m with you.”
Paul’s rise to prominence in the combat world has been rapid, to say the least.

And fan favourite Cerrone has likened it to that of his former foe Conor McGregor.
He said: “The Jake Paul phenomenon is kind of crazy, it’s gotten everybody calling him out and it’s kind of like the big Conor [McGregor] push [from early in McGregor’s career].
“That’s what I feel like is happening with Jake Paul.
“Everyone is wanting to fight him, and I don’t see why they wouldn’t because that’s a big money fight.
“But you can’t take away [his wins].
“Like everyone is saying those are like rigged fights — I think he’s hitting hard. You know what I mean?
“I really do think those are legitimate shots and strikes, and he’s been practicing boxing and [the results] are showing he’s whooping their asses.
“So I don’t think there’s any mis-hype. I think he’s got something going on there.”
Paul hasn’t set foot inside the ring since his decision victory over Silva in October but is eyeing a return to the ring early next year.
The former Disney star hopes to fight three times next year, in which he hopes to face rival Tommy Fury.
