Wiz Khalifa has a businessman vision for the professional fighters league, which includes Jake Paul. In Khalifa’s words
“He’ll [Jake Paul] be tight if he fought for PFL,”
Jake Paul has had earned quite the reputation as a talent to beat. According to a source, Paul aims for a solid position as a Mixed Martial Artist. Reportedly Paul has his sights on gaining a spot with UFC. Khalifa has his eyes on recruiting Paul. Khalifa and MMA
Khalifa’s part-ownership of the Professional Fighters League aligns with his gifts. His love for martial arts is no secret. According to a source, the artist trained to position himself for a possible bout in the ring. And his abilities have not gone unnoticed.
A source notes that Jay Glazier, MMA trainer, thinks Wiz has genuine talent, claiming he was the only one to hurt him with a body shot.
That is impressive.
A Possible Career Shift For Wiz Khalifa (And Jake Paul?)
So what is standing between Khalifa and a career shift to MMA? Ultimately his desire. In an interview, Wiz admitted to liking his career in music a little bit more. However, he is not ruling out an experience in the octagon. However, there are stipulations. In Khalifa’s words,
“You gotta pay me a whole bunch of money to get me to fight.”
That is understandable
For now, as co-owner of PFL, he’s looking to work a little magic for the organization. Jake Paul is coming off as a valuable asset. However, as noted, no offer has been put on the table. So we will have to see if Paul will choose the PFL over the UFC.
