Jake Paul<\/a> is eyeing a jump to MMA — and his business partner says when it happens, it\u2019ll shatter viewership records!<\/p>\n

Nakisa Bidarian<\/a>, co-founder of MVP Promotions, dropped the bold prediction during a recent conversation with Babcock … where the guys were discussing The Problem Child’s future fight plans.<\/p>\n

Jake definitely wants to do MMA,\u201d Bidarian said. \u201cAnd I will say here on this show with you today that when Jake Paul enters the cage, our Hexagon, it will be the most viewed MMA match in history.”<\/p>\n

“I have no doubt about that.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The dream matchup? Nate Diaz<\/a>.<\/p>\n

First things first, Nakisa made it clear the MMA superstar from Stockton is focused on his get back with Mike Perry<\/a> first — something NB says MVP fully supports.<\/p>\n

But after that?<\/p>\n

\u201cHopefully, yeah, Jake and Nate would be unbelievable.\u201d<\/p>\n

If Nakisa’s right about Jake’s MMA bout, it wouldn’t be the first time Paul’s set a record. His 2024 boxing match with Mike Tyson was watched by more than 108 million people across the world.<\/p>\n

While JP’s one of the biggest names in all of combat sports, MVP has a bunch of other exciting things goin’ down.<\/p>\n

They just announced a merger with PFL … which will become MVP MMA.<\/p>\n
