Bryan Battle welcomes Jake Paul fight but doesn’t see it materializing
Following the win over Rosta, Battle was asked about the possibility of sharing the cage with Paul, whose Most Valuable Promotions recently merged with the PFL in a landmark deal that will bring the two combat sports brands under the MVP banner.
“I would,” Battle answered. “I don’t think Jake Paul would fight me. But I would fight Jake Paul for sure.”
The call-out comes as Paul remains a central figure in the newly formed MVP-PFL operation. Although he’s only competed in boxing so far, he has repeatedly discussed eventually making his MMA debut. Meanwhile, Battle went 7-1 in the Ultimate Fighting Championship but exited the promotion following a string of weight misses. He’s now 1-1 in the PFL.
