MVP, led by Jake Paul, acquires PFL roster to expand MMA footprint

MVP revealed that it has acquired the entire roster of the Professional Fighters League, a strategic expansion overseen by Jake Paul. The acquisition gives MVP access to a deep talent pool and a ready‑made event schedule, positioning it to compete more directly with the UFC.

Analysts see the move as a bold attempt to reshape the MMA landscape by consolidating fighters under a new brand. The promotion plans to integrate the new athletes into upcoming events later this year.
