Jake Paul is looking to enter the cage in the near future.

Rising UFC star Ian Machado Garry has offered to train Jake Paul when he makes the venture into the world of MMA. 

Paul has quickly become one of boxing's biggest names to the dismay of some fans with his fights often generating huge numbers when it comes to viewers. 

But Paul is not only looking to make an impact in the world of boxing, "The Problem Child" also has his sights on MMA and took a step closer towards this goal by signing with the PFL and joining the organisation's Super Fight Division. 

One possible opponent for Paul is former UFC Nate Diaz who he beat last month, and now a rematch between the pair is looking likely, but this time inside a cage. 

If the second fight with Diaz materialises, Garry believes he can help develop Paul's skills as an MMA fighter, especially when it comes to striking. 

"I think Jake is a phenomenal promoter, and he gets every single person in the world who is invested in martial arts and boxing talking about him," Garry told Sporting Post

"And if Jake is ever going to step into the cage, he needs to call me to be his striking coach because I will help Jake develop the most beautiful kicks, the most beautiful movement, and he will really evolve as a fighter if he works with me, but that’s an ‘if’ he goes into MMA. We’d have to see, but I'd love to see it. I’d watch it.”
