"Best in the f**king world" - Jake Paul claims Usman Nurmagomedov would make light work of Justin Gaethje
Jake Paul praised Nurmagomedov after the unbeaten lightweight champion ended his PFL contract with a first-round knockout and became a free agent.
- On Friday, Usman Nurmagomedov retained his PFL lightweight championship by knocking out Archie Colgan in the first round at PFL New York, officially entering free agency as his contract expired.
- Abdulmanap established a succession plan for his family, envisioning 'The Eagle,' Islam Makhachev, and Usman as future champions. Usman attributed his performance to training at the American Kickboxing Academy with elite partners.
- Addressing new promoter Jake Paul inside the cage, Nurmagomedov stated, "MVP, they always trash talk a little bit about Dana-- he doesn't pay." He questioned how MVP intends to compensate him.
- During a press event in Serbia, UFC CEO Dana White was asked about signing the free agent and responded with a smile, "Sure," signaling potential interest in bringing Nurmagomedov to the promotion.
- As a 22-0 prospect, Nurmagomedov is widely considered the top fighter outside the UFC, giving him leverage in negotiations. MVP MMA could offer lucrative terms, but joining the UFC might better position him to become the sport's best lightweight.
