Jake Paul is a man with options.
Unlike all of them UFC fighters are locked into impassable contractsA “problem child” is a free man. Along with former UFC CEO Nakisa Bidarian, Paul is the co-founder of Most Valuable Fights (MVP), which means he promotes his fights and has an agency that looks for opponents of interest to him.
For now, however, Paul is off the schedule. He’s been on the sidelines all through 2026, which is exactly when it happens a massive heavyweight boxer will break your jaw. Despite – or because of? — because of the layoff, Paul looks at his potential comeback and a whole host of opponents after that. Paul recently took to social media to name a long list of enemies on both the right and the cage.
“Before I rest…” Paul began X before writing your hit list.
“Canelo Alvarez
Francis Ngannou
Conor McGregor (boxing and MMA)
Sean Strickland
Darren Till
Ryan Garcia
KSI
Chris Eubank
Edgar Berlanga
Tom Aspinall (boxing)
Deontay Wilder
Nate Diaz (MMA)
The dwarf who ruined our fight
World title
“Make it happen @nakisabidarian.”
That’s an ambitious hit list to say the least! These names are of varying degrees of possible and probable. For example, Darren Till is something like a free agentwhich is able to skip bids and take on all comers. Tom Aspinall, on the other hand, is locked into his UFC contract for the foreseeable future. He is also, like Deontay Wilder or Francis Ngannou, a heavyweight, division Paul claimed he would avoid after a brutal knockout of Anthony Joshua (watch it again here).
However, there is one thing in common: each of these athletes could make a boatload of money fighting Jake Paul.
