MVP Founder Teases Jake Paul vs Conor McGregor Back-to-Back MMA and Boxing Superfights
Jake Paul has established himself as one of the biggest names in the global boxing scene today through high-profile fights. The YouTuber turned boxer has participated in several blockbuster events, becoming a major pay-per-view attraction worldwide.
In his last fight, Paul faced Anthony Joshua and lost the contest via TKO, but reportedly earned nearly $90 million. Despite the defeat, Paul’s popularity and commercial value remain extremely strong as he continues drawing huge attention from fans.
One opponent Paul has repeatedly mentioned wanting to face is former UFC double champion Conor McGregor. The potential matchup between the two crossover stars has long fascinated both boxing fans and MMA audiences. Recently, Paul’s business partner, Nakisa Bidarian, discussed an ambitious idea involving a unique Paul versus McGregor dream matchup.
“I have the perfect idea. We do the MMA fight with Jake and Conor, and then we do the boxing match with Jake and Conor. Perfect co-promotion. Fans get one of the biggest back-to-back fights in history. Jake would love to fight Conor McGregor in MMA,” Nakisa Bidarian via TMZ.
Paul has often talked about making his MMA debut and has moved UFC fighters to come forward to fight him. Similarly, McGregor has already been part of the biggest crossover fight of all time against Floyd Mayweather.
Currently, the ‘Notorious’ is focused on making his UFC return, and latest reports suggest fans can see him soon. According to popular journalists, Conor McGregor could be the main event for the International Fight Week.

Jake Paul gets a threatening warning from Francis Ngannou
Francis Ngannou is scheduled to fight Philipe Lins in the co-main event of Netflix’s historic MMA debut card. The main event will feature a blockbuster clash between Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano, marking a massive moment for MMA.
The entire event is being promoted by Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions, bringing major crossover attention from boxing and MMA audiences. Ngannou’s appearance on the card has already generated excitement as fans anticipate the former heavyweight champion returning to action.
However, the storyline quickly intensified due to the long-running rivalry between Jake Paul and Francis Ngannou. During a recent press conference, Paul accused Ngannou of previously ducking a potential fight between them. The former UFC heavyweight champion responded firmly, dismissing the claim while issuing a threat for a future clash.
“You were just being a small boy [speaking to Paul], not understanding, being a little disrespectful, and that’s why I want to kick your * now, I really didn’t want to fight you, but now I want to beat you. There’s a difference,” Francis Ngannou via a recent press conference.
Paul is expected to make his return later this year after his jaw is fully healed and ready to go. Currently, he has no opponent lined up, and fans are definitely excited to see him next.
