UFC middleweight athlete Bo Nickal is excited about helping Jake Paul prepare for his mixed martial arts (MMA) debut.
Namely, Nickal recently announced that he’s the first athlete to sign with Betr Combat, a subsidiary to Jake Paul’s Betr brand.
This means that the three-time NCAA Division I National Champion will be working with Paul in the creation of content.
And, during an interview with TMZ Sports, Nickal revealed that he’s looking forward to training with Paul as well:
We haven’t met in person yet, but we got to FaceTime and chat a little bit, which was super cool. He’s doing such awesome things in boxing and in the media space.
I’m sure we’re going to be training together. I know he just signed with the PFL and hopefully he’ll be taking an MMA fight soon… I’m sure that I’ll be able to help him out a little bit on that end.
But, even though he’s excited about helping Jake Paul improve his grappling and MMA skills, Nickal is equally thrilled for the opportunity to learn from Paul as well:
I’m super excited to train with him, not only to be able to help him out a little bit on the MMA/grappling side, but also to learn from him.
He’s had a ton of experience boxing, so it would be awesome to be able to get together and work together.
