Like it or not, Jake Paul has inserted himself into the combat sports conversation. Now a 3-0 professional boxer, Paul continues to provoke some of MMA and boxing’s biggest names.
Following his first-round knockout of Ben Askren at Triller Fight Club on Saturday, Paul took to Twitter to jab at a handful of combat sports notables. Among the targets was UFC president Dana White, who said he’d bet $1 million that Askren would defeat Paul.
Other targets of Paul’s tweet rampage included UFC welterweight star Nate Diaz, renowned boxing coach Freddie Roach (who worked with Askren during his camp), Askren, and the fans who speculated Saturday’s boxing match might have been rigged.
