      And The Eagle is willing to ‘accept’ any ‘interesting’ offers that come his way from teams keen on signing him.
      During a Q&A on his official Facebook page, Nurmagomedov said: “A lot of football clubs, they offer me [a contract].
      “But I have to, a little bit, become football shape. Because football shape is a little bit different than MMA [shape].
      “When you have to fight in MMA and you have to play in football, this are two different [things].
      “But I don’t know [if I’ll play professionally. If some clubs offer me [a deal] and they make me an interesting [offer], I’m going to accept this.”
      Nurmagomedov – who retired from MMA with a perfect 29-0 record – has long dreamed about being a professional footballer.

      He told Match TV: “To play football on a professional level is a childhood dream. Of course, I have such a wish. Football is the king of sports after all.
      “Who haven’t I discussed this with! I’ve spoken even with the UEFA president Aleskandr Ceferin, with the owner of PSG, yes and even with Cristiano Ronaldo.
      He added: “My dream club is Real Madrid.
      “In fact, the first match I remember watching the full 90 minutes, was Real vs Juventus in 1998 [Champions League final].
      “I remember Mijatovic scored from an offside position, but we still won.”

      The footy-mad Nurmagomedov recently shared a video of himself scoring a goal during a light-hearted match with his friends.
      And the die-hard Real Madrid fan celebrated the goal with Brazilian legend Ronaldo’s trademark celebration, wagging his finger up and down as he ran past the camera.
      Nurmagomedov announced his retirement from MMA last October immediately after his second-round submission victory over Justin Gaethje at UFC 254.
      The Dagestani destroyer brought the curtain down on his legendary career three months after the passing of his father and head coach, Abdulmanap.
      Nurmagomedov briefly flirted with the prospect of returning to the cage in January but ultimately ended up snubbing Dana White’s multiple attempts to convince him to fight again.

      Floyd Mayweather told to retire and stop ‘silly’ exhibitions by Dana White with UFC boss undecided on Logan Paul signing

      by

      DANA WHITE urged Floyd Mayweather to retire and stop the ‘silly’ exhibitions – while he remains undecided on giving Logan Paul a shot in the UFC. Boxing legend Mayweather, to the shock of many, was taken the full eight round distance by YouTube star Paul in their Miami showcase bout.

      But it was blasted by UFC president White, who called on his friend to hang up the gloves for good.
      He told TMZ Sports: “Floyd should retire and he’s had an incredible career and to do these type of fights, it’s silly.”
      Mayweather, 44, officially hung up the gloves in 2017 after stopping ex-UFC champion Conor McGregor, 32, in a fight White helped promote.
      He did come back a year later, beating featherweight kickboxing star Tenshin Nasukawa in a similar spectacle.
      The American great then announced he was ‘coming out of retirement’ and would work alongside White.
      But amid the coronavirus pandemic, the pair never linked up, and are not likely to do so after Mayweather poured cold water on another return.
      After fighting Paul, he said: “As far as me fighting again, absolutely not. As far as me doing another exhibition, probably not.”
      Paul, 26, on the other hand opened the door to an MMA switch and believes his time as a high school wrestler leaves him more suited to the cage.

      White has previously distanced himself from working with the social media sensation or his little brother Jake, 24.
      But for the first time, he appeared to at least contemplate giving Paul a crack in the UFC.
      White said: “There’s no doubt when you look at both those two kids, they take it seriously. They both really do train hard.
      “They’re not just showing up for a pay cheque. I don’t know, man. I don’t know.
      “Here’s the thing, not to say that I haven’t taken a guy in that’s been 0-0 into the UFC and done those types of fights before. I don’t know.”

      Logan Paul offered MMA debut by Bellator after raking in cash for Floyd Mayweather boxing exhibition fight

      by

      LOGAN PAUL has been offered a debut in MMA by Bellator boss Scott Coker after the YouTuber’s exhibition fight with Floyd Mayweather. Paul, to the shock of many, survived and managed to take boxing legend Mayweather the full eight round distance in Miami.

      Afterwards, Paul opened the door to a switch to the cage, believing his time as a high school wrestler makes him more suited to MMA.
      And Coker, promoter of UFC rivals Bellator, gave the green light for the social media sensation to make the switch.
      He told MMA Fighting: “The answer is absolutely.
      “I think this kid has shown athletic ability to go in there with Floyd but also we know he’s a high school all-star wrestler from Ohio and I think they’re just getting better and better at combat sports.
      “If he wanted to get into MMA, we would do it.”
      Paul is said to have been ranked fifth in the OHSAA State Championships in 2013, during his final year of high school.
      And the same year he joined the wrestling team at Ohio University, and qualified for OHSAA Division I Individual Championships.
      Paul went on to drop out of education to pursue a career in entertainment and now stands as one of the most recognisable faces on the internet.

      Mayweather, 44, was amazingly only his second ever opponent, previously facing rival KSI, who he drew with in 2018 but lost to a year later.
      Paul is an MMA fan and last year spent time at the UFC’s Performance Institute, sparring ex-title challenger Paulo Costa.
      Having shared the ring with the best of an era in Mayweather, technically avoiding defeat, he is confident his prior wrestling career makes MMA a no-brainer.
      He said: “I’d do MMA, for sure, because I am a good grappler. You know, I’m a wrestler at heart.”

      Paul’s exhibition spectacle was aired on Showtime in the US, who have just signed his brother Jake, 24, and televise Bellator events.
      It puts the wheels in motion for a link-up with the American promotion, but Coker warned the YouTube star may continue to pursue boxing right now.
      He said: “For now they want to focus on boxing but if the opportunity was there, I definitely would put them in the cage
      “When I say that, they’re not going to go out and fight in a real fight against a guy like Gegard Mousasi or somebody that has that experience.
      “We’d treat them like any other fighter with the experience that they have and take it from there.”

      UFC chief Dana White mocks ‘stupid’ fans who paid for Mayweather fight with Paul and slams ‘that wasn’t f***ing boxing’

      by

      DANA WHITE mocked ‘stupid’ fans who paid to watch Floyd Mayweather fight Logan Paul as he slammed: ‘That wasn’t a f***ing boxing match’. Boxing legend Mayweather was taken the full eight round distance in his exhibition showcase with YouTuber Paul.

      With no knockout scored, there was no official winner, but the event is projected to have sold at least one million pay-per-view buys.
      It left UFC president White arguing the real losers were the paying customers.
      He told UFC Arabia: That wasn’t a f***ing boxing match. Like I said before, there’s always going to be a market for that kind of stuff.
      “There’s always going to be people that are willing to put down $50 to watch that kind of stuff. That’s so far away [from what we do].
      “Think about this — imagine if Kim Kardashian wanted to fight Amanda Nunes. How big do you think that fight would be? It would be huge.
      “It would be the biggest [event] but give me a f***ing break.”
      Mayweather, 44, and Paul, 26, were sure to use their personalties and platforms to generate massive hype around the spectacle fight.
      But after the uneventful bout, White reckons fans would have been feeling underwhelmed.

      He said: “It’s exactly what boxing has always been.
      “You create this energy around a fight where you’re like, ‘Oh this [is exciting]’ and then you watch it and then you turn the TV off and go ‘I just wasted another evening, I should have went out and did something else.’
      “I don’t ever want people feeling like that when they turn the TV off watching some of our fights.
      “You’re going to have the fans, you’ll have a card one night and they’ll be like ‘this card, blah, blah, blah.’
      “Then you watch the card and the card is unbelievable. You get at least two, three or four great fights that probably didn’t expect.
      “Then when you turn the TV off, you’re glad you watched it. That’s the product that I sell. That’s what I’m into.”

      Mayweather had no problems boasting about his lucrative payday both before and after the fight, which he dubbed a ‘legalised bank robbery’.
      And White aims no blame at the PPV king or social media sensation Paul, instead questioning those who tuned in.
      He explained: “I’m not trying to s*** on these other guys.
      “Listen, if you’ve got people that are stupid enough to spend that kind of money, you deserve to take those dummies’ money. They deserve it.
      “The guys who went out and fought and got you to pay $50, they deserve your money. You’re stupid.”

      But it was slammed by Dana White, who argued no matter how popular a celebrity is, it does not mean they should be afforded big fights.
      He told UFC Arabia: “That wasn’t a f***ing boxing match. Like I said before, there’s always going to be a market for that kind of stuff.
      “There’s always going to be people that are willing to put down $50 to watch that kind of stuff. That’s so far away [from what we do].

      “It would be the biggest [event] but give me a f***ing break.”
      Nunes, a two-weight champion who is considered the greatest women fighter in UFC history, quickly latched on to the UFC president’s comments.
      She tweeted: “Hey @KimKardashian let’s do this? lol.”
      White has distanced himself from working with Logan, 26, and his brother Jake, 24, who have both forged prizefighting careers.

      Five fights for Logan Paul after Floyd Mayweather including Chris Hemsworth, his brother Jake and shock UFC switch

      LOGAN PAUL is already thinking about his next fight having shared the ring with all-time great Floyd Mayweather. The YouTuber claimed a moral victory in his Miami exhibition with Mayweather as he survived all eight rounds to take it the distance.

      Having faced, and technically avoided defeat, against the one of the best and most lucrative boxers of all time, the question begs what next?
      Just days removed from his showcase bout with Mayweather, Paul wrote on Instagram ‘no seriously who’s next’.
      And here SunSport runs down the likely options for the social media sensation.
      Jake Paul
      Paul has been followed into the ring by his little brother Jake, who has a better record winning all three of his fights by knockout.
      The polarising pair appear to have no bounds when it comes to entertainment, leaving them both open to facing each other.
      It would be a bizarre, unprecedented and undeniable financial success, all key elements of what makes the internet sensations tick.
      But they have admitted their parents are against the idea, and even their close relationship may rule it out.
      For now, Jake, 24, fights ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley, 39, on August 28 and will no doubt have the support of Logan, 26, when he does.

      Danis is a 2-0 Bellator welterweight and a jujitsu expert, but he is most commonly known for being Conor McGregor’s training partner.
      The American, 27, has also rivalled the Paul brothers online, mostly with Jake before trading words with Logan.
      Jake has admitted he is moving on from the idea of boxing Danis leaving the door open for Logan.
      And with Logan fancying a move to MMA, he could even take Danis on in the cage, with Bellator open to the idea.
      But Danis is also eyeing a boxing debut, meaning he could meet Logan in the ring as well.

      Chris Hemsworth
      Thor star Hemsworth is renowned for his impeccable physique and uses boxing in his training regiment.
      And after footage of the actor hitting the pads surfaced in January, Paul called him out.
      He tweeted: “I’ll fight him after mayweather.”
      Aussie Hemsworth, 37, never responded to the challenge, but the offer could still be open.

      Antonio Brown
      Paul was in line to fight the NFL wide receiver in early 2020, with the pair even facing off in a nightclub on Super Bowl weekend.
      Sports streaming service DAZN were driving talks, with Paul releasing a diss track and Brown starting training in the gym.
      But the fight soon fell apart with Brown returning to the NFL by signing with Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
      A year prior, he was released by New England Patriots as an investigation was launched into allegations of sexual assault made against him.

      KSI
      Paul’s boxing career started with a 2018 white collar bout against online rival KSI, which ended in a draw in Manchester.
      They turned professional a year later, with little experience, and KSI emerged victorious by scrappy split-decision.
      A two point deduction for hitting and holding cost Paul the result on the cards, and still left some dispute around the fight.
      KSI, 27, has remained uninterested in a trilogy and instead turned his attention to Jake.
      But even that ship appears to have sailed, with the Brit focusing on his music career, with Jake now a far more developed fighter.

      Badou Jack
      Jack is a two-weight champion and recorded a win on the undercard of Paul’s exhibition with Mayweather.
      Putting the Swedish-born in against the celebrity boxer would be a waste of everyone’s time and reckless.
      But it did not stop heavyweight legend Mike Tyson from urging Paul to fight Jack, 37, despite the skill disparity.
      Tyson said: “I’m trying to get Logan Paul to fight Badou Jack. I wanna see what he says about that.”
      Jack, promoted by Mayweather, saw the funny side of it as he tweeted: “LOL @MikeTyson wants me to fight Logan Paul.”

      UFC switch
      Paul was an accomplished high school wrestler and has made it no secret his grappling experience makes a move into the cage more suitable.
      He said after fighting Mayweather: “I’d do MMA, for sure, because I am a good grappler. You know, I’m a wrestler at heart.”
      UFC president Dana White always maintained he would NEVER do business with either Paul brother.
      But for the first time, White appeared to at least be considering whether or not to give Logan a shot in the octagon.
      He told TMZ: “Here’s the thing, not to say that I haven’t taken a guy in that’s been 0-0 into the UFC and done those types of fights before. I don’t know.”

      Roy Jones Jr predicts Jake Paul can beat Tyron Woodley with early KO and warns ‘I know he can punch’

      JAKE PAUL has the capacity to deliver a stunning early knockout to Tyron Woodley, according to Roy Jones Jr.American veteran Jones Jr had the YouTuber fight on the undercard of his comeback bout against Mike Tyson last year, watching Paul confidently down ex-NBA star Nate Robinson.

      Since then, the 24-year-old has made light work of former MMA fighter Ben Askren and will face Woodley, 39, in August.
      Many expect ex-UFC welterweight world champion Woodley to end Paul’s unbeaten start to his boxing career but Jones Jr has warned otherwise.
      He told TMZ: “Early, Jake is gonna be the issue because Jake can probably punch.
      “I know he can punch – and he’s probably gonna be a little bit bigger.
      “But as the fight goes on, if Woodley gets comfortable, he’s probably gonna take [Jake] out.
      “Woodley definitely has the ring experience… he’ll definitely take him out if it goes long.”

      Jones Jr is not the first man to doubt Woodley’s chances of winning later this summer.
      UFC star Colby Covington recently raised the prospect that his old rival will allow Paul to win.
      He remarked to MMA Junkie: “I really think Tyron is going out there to take a dive. I think he’s broke.
      “He needs the money… It’s going to be a circus, and we know boxing is the most corrupt sport in the world as it is.

      “So this little side circus they’re doing with Jake Paul, of course, they’re going to favour his way to make it a work.”
      Paul has already set his sights on fighting an even bigger name after Woodley despite the bout being over two months away.
      A number of icons of combat sport, including Floyd Mayweather, Conor McGregor and Canelo Alvarez have been called out by the online sensation.

      KSI, 27, has remained uninterested in a trilogy and instead turned his attention to Jake.
      But even that ship appears to have sailed, with the Brit focusing on his music career, with Jake now a far more developed fighter.

      Badou Jack
      Jack is a two-weight champion and recorded a win on the undercard of Paul’s exhibition with Mayweather.
      Putting the Swedish-born in against the celebrity boxer would be a waste of everyone’s time and reckless.
      But it did not stop heavyweight legend Mike Tyson from urging Paul to fight Jack, 37, despite the skill disparity.
      Tyson said: “I’m trying to get Logan Paul to fight Badou Jack. I wanna see what he says about that.”
      Jack, promoted by Mayweather, saw the funny side of it as he tweeted: “LOL @MikeTyson wants me to fight Logan Paul.”

      UFC switch
      Paul was an accomplished high school wrestler and has made it no secret his grappling experience makes a move into the cage more suitable.
      He said after fighting Mayweather: “I’d do MMA, for sure, because I am a good grappler. You know, I’m a wrestler at heart.”
      UFC president Dana White always maintained he would NEVER do business with either Paul brother.
      But for the first time, White appeared to at least be considering whether or not to give Logan a shot in the octagon.
      He told TMZ: “Here’s the thing, not to say that I haven’t taken a guy in that’s been 0-0 into the UFC and done those types of fights before. I don’t know.”
