In a recent press conference for MVP MMA 1, Jake Paul expressed his support for a potential matchup between MMA fighters Arman Tsarukyan and Namo Fazil, humorously claiming to have Armenian heritage as he made his remarks.
Jake Paul, the social media influencer and professional boxer, made headlines on Thursday during the MVP MMA 1 press conference. While discussing the burgeoning rivalry between Arman Tsarukyan and Namo Fazil, Paul jokingly identified himself as “part Armenian,” sparking interest in the potential fight between the two competitors.
The conversation arose after Fazil, fresh from a submission victory over Jake Babian, publicly called out Tsarukyan, intensifying their rivalry. This led to a heated exchange between the fighters outside the Hexagon, drawing attention from the MMA community.
Paul, who has been seen socializing with Tsarukyan in Armenia—where they were photographed enjoying caviar in a snowy landscape—seemed enthusiastic about the fight. “That’s my brother Arman out there,” he remarked, emphasizing his belief that a fight between Tsarukyan and Fazil would be “incredible.”
As the anticipation builds for a potential clash between these two fighters, fans and analysts alike are eager to see how this rivalry unfolds in the ring.
