Jake Paul took to Twitter to announce that he had recently invested in UFC’s parent company Endeavor
Over the last couple of months, the names Jake Paul and UFC have often found themselves in the same sentence. The YouTuber-turned-professional boxer has been time and again expressing his desire to try his hand at MMA (especially in the UFC).
More recently, Paul told the world that he had invested in EDR, Endeavor Group Holdings Inc’s (UFC’s parent company) stock.
Tweeting the same, Paul also brought up that through long-term growth the company can increase the pay scale of UFC fighters, which has been a nagging issue in recent times.
Here is what the ‘Problem Child’ had to say:
“I’ve invested in EDR (UFC) stock with my partner @geoffreywoo 2 focus on UFCs ESG standards relating to fighters. We believe EDR can drive long-term economic value by increasing UFC fighter pay & providing them healthcare. Reaching out to @EngineNo_1 to partner on this “endeavor.”
EDR is currently trading at 29.10 USD in the NYSE.
He recently came up with a Tweet explaining that he wanted to make his MMA debut against Conor McGregor at middleweight whilst also bringing up the fact that the Irishman has recently been walking around at nearly 190lbs.
Paul tweeted:
“. @danawhite when I make my MMA debut, I could cut 20 pounds & do it at Welterweight / 170 pounds. That’s what all UFC fighters do and many have destroyed their bodies & minds doing it. But I’m gonna do it at Middleweight (185). Health first. PS Conor walking around at 190.”
McGregor is currently recovering from the ankle injury he suffered against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 back in July 2021. He is expected to be back by the summer of 2022.
