Boxer and YouTuber Jake Paul claims that the UFC, the most famous MMA promotion, has provided Jorge Masvidal with a list of fighters he is allowed to box against. According to Jake, this is why Jorge did not agree to a fight against him even for a $10 million purse.
"The UFC doesn't want Masvidal to box with me. They provided him with a list of 35 names that he is allowed to box against.
Technically, he is still under contract with the UFC. They allowed him to box Nate, and anyone from the list of 35 names, but my name isn't on it," Jake said on the BS podcast.
Masvidal will have a boxing match on June 1st. His opponent will be UFC fighter Nate Diaz. Jake Paul's next fight is scheduled for July 20th; he will face Mike Tyson in a match that will be streamed on Netflix.
