Popular YouTuber Jake Paul may soon find himself in the ring with a bona fide UFC star, although it might not be the fighter he was calling out.
Following his recent KO victory over NBA point guard Nate Robinson, moving his record to two wins from two, Paul made no secret of his desire to take on UFC fighter Conor McGregor, leading to what the New York Post describes as a "feisty back-and-forth between Paul and UFC President Dana White.”
White announced on Monday that he was "thinking of letting Amanda Nunes," UFC women's bantamweight and featherweight champion, "kick" Paul's "a** out."
"I'm in," Nunes tweeted in response, exciting her social media following.
I would pay an embarrassing amount of money to see that.

As CinemaBlend points out, however, while a fight between Paul and Nunes would probably be "a sight to see," White "only seemed to be joking about the prospect."
