Dan Hardy has signed on with PFL Europe
Paul, 26, is due to head up a “super-fight” series which will also host his debut in the cage.
Ex-UFC title challenger Hardy – now on board with PFL Europe – joked that he would be the perfect opponent for the American.
He told talkSPORT: “If he wants an opponent in MMA, I’m ideal.
“I’m 40, I’ve been out of it for ten years now, my takedown defence sucks, my wrestling is terrible, I’ve got no ground game and I love a punch up.
“If he’s looking for an opponent in MMA, I mean, I’m probably a safer bet than Tyron Woodley. You would think, right?”
Paul beat ex-MMA champions Ben Askren, 38, Woodley, 40, and Anderson Silva, 47, during his career.
But in his first bout against a professional boxer, he was beaten, losing a split-decision to Tommy Fury, 23.
The pair are rumoured to be lined up for a rematch, which could backdate Paul’s debut in the PFL cage.

Hardy said: “I’ve spoken with Jake Paul’s manager a couple of times for various different reasons.
“So, I am in contact with the camp, but we’ll see what happens.
“I think he’s planning another boxing match first and I think he’ll be doing a lot more promotional work than competing with the PFL.”
