Quick read
MVP CEO Nakisa Bidarian proposed Jake Paul vs. Conor McGregor fights in both MMA and boxing as a co-promotion with UFC. Speaking to TMZ Sports on March 12, Bidarian called it the 'perfect idea' for back-to-back mega-events, noting Paul is eager for an MMA bout despite no pro experience. McGregor, last fighting in UFC in 2021, remains under contract, requiring Dana White's involvement. This pitch revives long-discussed superfights, blending boxing and MMA audiences. It matters for cross-promotion potential and McGregor's comeback path amid inactivity. Next steps hinge on negotiations between promotions.
