Jake Paul pitches UFC bout vs. Conor McGregor or Jorge Masvidal, with fighter benefits on the line - 'This is my Marvin Miller energy'

Jake Paul says he would be willing to fight once in the UFC against either Conor McGregor or Jorge Masvidal — with some caveats.

The YouTube influencer-turned-boxer said Saturday in a statement to ESPN that he would sign a one-fight UFC contract to compete against either McGregor or Masvidal in MMA with a wager on the line. Paul first tweeted about the idea Saturday morning.

Dana — Since you like me now, how about a 1 fight UFC deal to fight Conor. If I win, you agree to my UFC fighter pay and healthcare proposal. If I lose I donate my entire purse to all UFC fighters who make less than $50K a fight and never mention UFC again Deal?

Paul proposes that if he wins, the UFC must set up a plan to pay fighters 50% of company revenue and give fighters full health care. If Paul loses, he said he would donate his entire purse to UFC fighters making less than $50,000 per fight «and I will never mention the UFC again.»

Documents cited in the antitrust lawsuit filed against the UFC put fighter pay at about 18% to 20% of company revenue.

«Fighting Conor is what I want most, but would fight Masvidal as well,» Paul said. «I know it might seem impossible to beat these guys in MMA, but when you believe, you can achieve anything. I would ask for six months to train.»

The UFC has yet to respond to Paul's pitch and it would be outside the norm for the promotion to do so. But UFC president Dana White, who has feuded with Paul publicly over the past year, wouldn't close the door on Paul one day fighting in the UFC, he said in an interview earlier this year with TSN.

Paul and his team said they are serious about the proposal. In his statement, Paul referenced wanting to emulate Marvin Miller, the longtime Major League Baseball Players
