Jorge Masvidal claims Jake Paul turned down a legitimate offer to make a fight between the pair in the UFC.

Paul and Masvidal have been going back and forth over the past few months, with the YouTube star offering his MMA rival a crossover boxing match for $5million.

But Masvidal was uninterested, and now claims that he and his team came back to Paul with a one-fight deal offer to have the bout happen in the octagon.

Paul has previously indicated that he would be willing to cross over to the cage, but likely wouldn't want to take on a veteran who has twice fought for a world title.

And Masvidal said he laughed off the prospect of a boxing match, noting how he has the superior drawing power on pay-per-view.

"Why the f*** would I fight Jake Paul in boxing?" Masvidal asked DAZN News. "Look at his last pay-per-view [his rematch with Tyron Woodley].

"It generated little buys - my fights generate fantastic numbers. His, not so much."

And Masvidal believes that the offer of $5m for a fight, which would have included PPV points and a ceiling that could hit eight figures, was not enough.
