And he was being interviewed while reigning PFL champion Larissa Pacheco beat Marina Mokhnatkina for the featherweight title.
But out of nowhere Paul – talking from his £13million Puerto Rico mansion – whacked on a pair of gloves to commentate on the bout.
It left fans hilariously confused as one said: “Why the f*** is Jake Paul wearing his gloves on stream.”
Another added: “Jake Paul putting on his PFL gloves whilst watching the fight has big shadow boxing in front of the mirror during the ad breaks energy.”
One said: “As much as I don’t like Jake Paul he is really smart for putting on the pfl gloves during his interview.”
Paul this year signed with the PFL, a rival promotion to the UFC.
The promotion consists of qualification and knockout stages.
Stars have two regular season bouts where points are earned per method of victory with the top four in each division progressing.

But the PFL are next year launching a “super-fight” series – away from the season – which will play host to Paul’s MMA debut.
The American is coming off an August win over ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38, and he offered to rematch in MMA.
But Paul, 26, claims Diaz, 38, has turned down a £10million offer to fight in the cage and took another swipe at his rival.
He said: “He didn’t want all that smoke. He’s making excuses.”
