Jake Paul sent a clear message to the UFC President.

Well, I guess now we know that Jake Paul is a better boxer than Tyron Woodley. After taking a close split decision over the former UFC welterweight champion in the summer, Paul faced ‘The Chosen One’ in a rematch last night. And ‘The Problem Child’ ended the fight with a thunderous KO that forced Woodley to face-plant on the canvas.

The win took Paul to 5-0, a record that is starting to look a little impressive. His other three wins are over former Bellator and ONE welterweight champion Ben Askren, ex-NBA player Nate Robinson and fellow influencer AnEsonGib.


In his post-fight press conference Paul was asked if, after defeating a former top dog in the UFC, he had a message for Dana White.

“I just knocked out a five time UFC champion and embarrassed your whole company,” said Paul. “Please let me get Kamaru Usman. Please let me get [Nate] Diaz. Please let me get [Jorge] Masvidal. Please let me get [Conor] McGregor. Because I’m going to embarrass them, too. I promise you that Dana. I promise you that.”

The names Paul threw out in this statement aren’t new. He’s beefed publicly with both Usman and Masvidal. And he’s been talking up potential fights with Diaz and McGregor since the start of his combat sports disruption project.

It seems highly unlikely that the UFC will allow any fighters under contract to dabble with a Jake Paul production. It’s also unlikely that any of those fighters can get out of their UFC contracts without great effort, legal intervention and a long time on the sidelines.

he should call out Art Jimmerson.
I'm friends with him.


Art would knock the shit outta Jake.


That being said, I love this Jake Paul saga, he's the new Andy Kaufman. I hope he knocks out gsp next.

people think Art was a chump, but he was a bad motherfucker in his day.
IIRC, he was only 1 or 2 fights removed from title fight when he did UFC. I've chatted him up a couple times in Torrance, we have a mutual friend. He's an all-around decent guy.

He should seriously utilize my PR skills. I'd be able to get Jake Paul a fight with neo or Floyd Mayweather no problem.

he can still put it to the mitts, brother.
he has a humble confidence, there's so many cocky asshole boxers that I'd rather have seen Royce mount and head butt.

These fights are under his own promotion right?

Is he in charge of everything?

He seems juicy and since it's his promotion is anyone really checking his gloves?

He could be loading them up as well?

How legit is this sheeeeeit?

None of this will happen and it's just free press for both parties.

I think Conor has more leverage than the others.
That's true. But Jake Paul puts money on the table as well. More than Usman or Masvidal does. I wonder how this Jake Paul combat sports adventure will play out.

I mean, I don't know how to run a promotional company. But I look at a guy like Masvidal. He was red hot for a moment in time, got himself known, then Usman starched him.

Masvidal is 37 years old and nowhere near a title shot. There's only so much juice the UFC can squeeze out of him at this point.

But Jake Paul can make that fight huge. And Jake Paul isn't Floyd Mayweather in the boxing ring.
