Jake Paul says fighting UFC superstar Amanda Nunes would be a complete "waste of time" ... telling TMZ Sports he wants a better-known opponent to generate more hype.
Remember, Jake recently called out Dana White to set up a fight with Conor McGregor ... and the UFC honcho responded by telling us he'd consider letting Nunes "knock his ass out."
Nunes responded by saying she's down to scrap ... so naturally, we asked Jake if he'd entertain the idea.
