JORGE MASVIDAL has brutally shot down Jake Paul’s offer to take their rivalry to the MMA cage.
Paul is 9-1 as a boxer but signed a contract with the Professional Fighters League to debut in MMA.
Meanwhile, Masvidal has been granted permission from the UFC to pursue boxing before returning to the octagon after.
He takes to the ring for the first time on June 1 against Nate Diaz, 39, beaten over ten boxing rounds by Paul last year.
The pair put aside their feud to mutually chant “f*** Jake Paul” alongside a raucous Las Vegas crowd.
And Paul replied online: “Two of the biggest names in MMA can’t keep my name out their mouth at their press conference that nobody watched.

“Already told both of these bozos to come see me in PFL bc in boxing they got no shot. $10M for either of them.”
Paul, 27, returns on July 20 in Texas against boxing icon Mike Tyson, 57, in a controversial clash scrutinised over the 30-year age gap.
And Masvidal, 39, did not hold back in response to the YouTuber-turned-boxer’s proposed MMA deal.
