In a surprising turn of events, YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul and UFC bantamweight champion Sean O'Malley are scheduled to fight in an MMA bout on June 29th. This news comes after O'Malley initially challenged Paul on social media.
Paul responded by accepting the challenge and proposing the fight take place at a co-branded event between the Professional Fighters League (PFL) and the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). While the official details of the event haven't been confirmed, the prospect of a PFL vs. UFC collaboration adds another layer of intrigue to this matchup.
However, significant hurdles remain. The fighters compete in vastly different weight classes, with O'Malley at 135 pounds and Paul closer to 200 pounds. Additionally, with just two weeks' notice before the fight, significant challenges exist in ensuring O'Malley is prepared for a different weight class and MMA rules.
Despite the complexities, the upcoming Paul vs. O'Malley fight has captured the attention of combat sports fans and social media users. If it all goes to plan, we’ll be watching this fight in just a few weeks time. Who do you think will take the win - Jake Paul or Sean O’Malley? Leave a comment below letting us know your thoughts.
