Jake Paul is super-invested in an MMA fight between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk and wants the bout to happen in the PFL. Zuckerberg has been training in MMA since 2022 and was recently seen learning from grappling phenom Mikey Musumeci. He even won gold recently at a jiu-jitsu tournament in the white-belt category.

The fight between the tech CEOs may have the potential to be the biggest celebrity combat sports bout in recent memory. The prospect has 'The Problem Child' foaming at the mouth, as this is an opportunity to boost the profile of his adopted fight promotion PFL.

Jake Paul tweeted:

"Elon I will gladly promote your fight against Zuck, we can do it in the PFL on ESPN+ for charity."

Fans were quick to respond to Jake Paul's tweet about promoting the fight between the two CEOs. Here's what a user with the handle '@ElChippy' posted:

"Make it happen. Winner wins their site."

When Jake Paul and Jorge Masvidal trolled Ben Askren on the YouTuber's podcast

Jorge Masvidal recently made an appearance on BS w/ Jake Paul, and it seems that both fighters are cordial again. The pair briefly trained together when Paul was getting ready for Ben Askren. However, things soured between the two when 'The Problem Child' fought Masvidal's good friend Tyron Woodley for a second time.

As of recently, both fighters seem to have settled their beef and even spoke about it on the podcast. They found common ground by trolling their mutual enemy on the podcast. Paul posted a snapshot of Masvidal's knee and his right hand side-by-side and tagged Ben Askren in the post.

The picture was a nod to the flying-knee KO of Askren by 'Gamebred' and the right hand from Paul that knocked out the former Bellator welterweight champion.

Here's what 'The Problem Child' posted:

"Yo, Ben Askren. [Do] you recognize anything in this photo?"

Jorge Masvidal last fought in April against Gilbert Burns at UFC 287 and lost a three-round war to 'Durinho'. Following his fourth consecutive loss in the promotion, 'Gamebred' announced his retirement from the sport. He retired with a promotional record of 12-10 and an overall MMA record of 35-17.

Meanwhile, Jake Paul is all set to face UFC veteran Nate Diaz in a 10-round boxing match on August 5 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. 'The Problem Child' started pro-boxing in 2020 and has since compiled a record of 6-1.
