Jake Paul is ‘100%’ open to working with Jon Jones
Jake Paul was asked about potentially signing Jon Jones during a press scrum on Tuesday.
The 29-year-old says he’ll pay ‘Bones’ well if he leaves the UFC and joins his upstart MMA promotion.
“Yeah, 100%,” Paul said when asked if he’s serious about working with the previous two-weight UFC champion.
“Jon, you might be all the time welcome to return over to MVP.
“We’ll get it popping, and we’ll get you paid what you deserve.”
Explaining the continued Jon Jones vs UFC feud
Jon Jones asked to be released from his UFC contract after falling out with Dana White last weekend.
The 38-year-old was shockingly left off the June 14 UFC Freedom 250 card on the White House.
White insisted that Jones was never considered for the event resulting from his history of flaking on fights and the indisputable fact that he has arthritis in his hip.
Jones accused the UFC CEO of lying before claiming that he rejected a ‘lowball’ offer to fight Alex Pereira on the cardboard.
Ultimately, a mixture of the UFC White House snub, White’s comments, and a pay dispute have brought us thus far.
It’s currently unclear if Jones is seriously pushing to be released during his behind-the-scenes conversations with White and the UFC.
