The head coach of the AKA gym, Javier Mendez, estimated the chances of the blogger and boxer Jake Paul for success in mixed martial arts.

Earlier, 25-year-old Paul said that in the near future he will move to MMA, and Javier Mendez will be his coach.

“Jacob Chavez is my great friend and AKA coach. I don't really know anything more about Jake Paul other than that he trains with Jacob. If he wants to do MMA, then he can do it. He is a wrestler who now competes in boxing. In addition, he has good physical data.

I think that its preparation will not take much time. Of course, his success will depend on the level at which he plans to perform. You can't put him up against a jiu-jitsu master or a wrestler - he can't compete with such fighters. In order to perform at a high level, it takes time,” Mendes quotes MMA Junkie.
