Former UFC Lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov made it clear that he was not going to accept the challenge of blogger and boxer Jake Paul, because he did not consider the American a serious opponent.

“If Jake Paul wants to fight under the rules of MMA, then we can give him a chance. Does he want to fight me? Drop it. I do not think so. In a cage, it only takes a couple of minutes. He was a little late because I had already completed my career. Of course, we can think about it.

I watched a video of him sparring in MMA, he still has a lot to learn. In boxing, Jake is good, he knows how to hit, but wrestling is completely different. If he wants, we can sign him and pay him. We'll see," Nurmagomedov said on Full Send Podcast.
