I can see Jaune registering in a moment of frustration. Maybe someone calls him a coward or something and so to "prove them wrong" he jumps into the tournament. After he commits to it he cannot back down, which Pyrrha would probably suggest he do for his own good. She could decide to beat him handily to keep him from being more seriously hurt.
