We won’t get a UFC Match between Jake Paul and Matt Riddle soon.

‍

The 7-1 boxer has rejected the offer directly given by Matt due to Paul not wanting to fight in a match where Riddle has the advantage.

‍

On the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (H/T ewrestlingnews.com), the report states:

‍

“Matt Riddle and his reps spoke directly to Jake Paul of late regarding doing a match. Paul expressed no interest in facing Riddle under MMA rules, where Riddle would have the experience edge even though he hasn’t been active or trained for fighting for years. Riddle was willing to do a boxing match, and at this point, it’s up to Paul’s side, which obviously it always would be since he’s the A-side.”

‍

Though a UFC match isn’t in the plans, there’s still hope that both men can face each other in the world of boxing.

‍

For now, each man has their plans in motion. Riddle is scheduled for a match at Big Time Wrestling next year against wrestling legend Rob Van Dam and has created his own cannabis strain, RIddle OG.

Jake Paul is continuing his boxing career by defeating Andre August on Dec. 15th.
