After rising UFC star Paddy Pimblett accused Jake Paul of having fixed fights, the latter called out “The Baddy” to settle things in a one million dollar sparring session.
“I have a proposition for you. Since you wouldn’t rig a fight, right? Let’s spar, fly to Puerto Rico, I’ll get you a private jet. We can do five three-minute rounds, boxing. If you win, I’ll give you a million dollars which is what you deserve to get paid Baddy, you know it, but the UFC is not paying you that,” Paul said. “You deserve to get paid more. But if I win, you have to join the United Fighter’s Association and help me sign up all of the fighters in the UK. Put your money where your mouth is. Let’s go.”

The UFC lightweight star, who has his career-biggest fight coming up on December 10, accepted the sparring on one condition.
“Challenge accepted,” Pimblett replied. “But I’m not going to Puerto Rico when I’m fighting next Saturday. If you wanna come and spar, get to the PI (UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas) next week. As I say, I fight Saturday, I’ll chill Sunday, and I’ll beat you up Monday. Offer’s there.”
Pimblett will fight Jared Gordon in the co-main event at UFC 282 in Las Vegas. This will be his fourth fight in the promotion in little over a year.
