Jake Paul has made it clear that Jon Jones would be welcome at his Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) venture as tensions between the former UFC champion and the promotion continue to grow.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer has been aggressively building MVP as a rival platform for combat sports stars.
With Jones now openly clashing with the UFC over the White House card situation, Paul wasted little time extending an invitation.
Jake Paul tells Jon Jones he is welcome to join MVP
Speaking in comments shared by Netflix Sports, Jake Paul was asked whether Jones would be welcome to fight under his promotion.
“Yeah, 100%, Jon, you’re always welcome to come over to MVP. We’ll get it popping, we’ll get you paid what you deserve,” Paul said.
MVP has recently been expanding its roster of major names.
The promotion has already signed stars like Ronda Rousey and partnered with fighters such as Francis Ngannou for crossover events.
Paul’s comments suggest he would happily add Jones to that growing lineup if the UFC legend becomes available.

The offer comes at a time when Jones’ relationship with the UFC appears increasingly strained.
The former two-division champion was widely rumored to be part of the planned UFC White House event, officially titled “UFC Freedom 250,” scheduled for June 14.
However, UFC president Dana White later insisted Jones was never seriously considered for the card, citing concerns about his health and reliability.
Jones disputed that version of events, saying negotiations had actually taken place and accusing the promotion of offering him a low financial deal for the fight.
Following the dispute, Jones publicly requested to be released from his UFC contract so he could explore other opportunities outside the promotion.
That situation has opened the door for figures like Paul to suggest Jones could continue his career elsewhere if the split with the UFC becomes permanent.
