Watch: When a gassed-out Jake Paul sparred an MMA fighter and got submitted

Jake Paul and AJ Agazarm once faced off in an MMA sparring session that witnessed a gassed-out Paul lose via an arm-bar submission.

In 2017, ‘The Problem Child’ engaged in a friendly MMA sparring session with multiple-time BJJ champion AJ Agazarm at a UFC gym. The video was uploaded to Jake Paul’s official YouTube channel. However, it was later removed. Regardless, video clips of it are still available on the internet.

You can watch their sparring session in the video below:

While their exchanges on the feet were relatively uneventful, things changed once Agazarm shot for a takedown. Jake Paul initially defended the takedown well but gradually found himself dragged down to the mat.

Agazarm dominated 'The Problem Child' with ground-and-pound and superior grappling technique. Furthermore, Agazarm, the referee, and the others pranked Jake Paul by having the BJJ champion insinuate that he couldn't continue after being hit with an eye poke. They claimed that Paul was disqualified due to the eye poke.

Agazarm then burst out laughing and revealed that he'd pranked Paul. The fight resumed, and Agazarm once again took Paul down. He proceeded to end the fight in dominant fashion, making 'The Problem Child' tap out to an arm-bar in round two.
