Former UFC interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson has offered to coach Jake Paul in mixed martial arts.<\/p>\n

It’s not exactly a secret that Tony Ferguson has been on a skid lately. He’s lost to a string of top stars and in his last few outings, he was finished by Michael Chandler and Nate Diaz.<\/p>\n

Alas, the veteran refuses to go down without a fight. ‘El Cucuy’ seems determined to get back in there and compete, even as he approaches his 39th birthday.<\/p>\n

Nobody can be sure of what his future holds. What we do know, though, is the future of Jake Paul.<\/p>\n

The YouTuber-turned-boxer has opted to make the transition over to MMA by signing a deal with PFL<\/a>. Pretty soon afterwards, he challenged Nate Diaz<\/a> to a two-fight deal – one in boxing, and one in the cage.<\/p>\n

Many are surprised to see him actually take the leap. Ferguson, meanwhile, is more interested in actually trying to train him<\/a> in the sport.<\/p>\n

“Let me know when you need a good MMA coach @jakepaul You can be one of my students- Champ -CSO- # KeepGrindin\u2019Kid”<\/p>\n

Ferguson offers a helping hand to Paul<\/h3>\n

One thing we all know to be true about Tony Ferguson is that he’s unconventional. Still, when you’re talking about coaching influences in MMA, Jake Paul could do a lot worse.<\/p>\n

You’d have to think he will dabble with some big and notable teams as the months go on. However, Ferguson’s ground game and jiu-jitsu may be best suited to helping him on his road to a PFL debut.<\/p>\n

Plus, if he does face Diaz, Ferguson has a lot of experience in that area.<\/p>\n
