‘F**K Jake Paul!’- UFC 261 Fans Chant Together Against YouTuber Jake Paul

Jake Paul is a polarizing figure. The younger Paul brother has orchestrated his growth from a YouTube star to one of the biggest names in combat sports capable of selling millions of pay-per-views. Along with the fame and notoriety that has come his way, so has the wrath of the MMA community. 

Paul recently established himself as a bonafide star when he took on Ben Askren earlier this month. A vicious right hand by ‘The Problem Child’ knocked ‘Funky’ a former two promotion champion, Olympian, and decorated NCAA collegiate wrestler, out in less than two minutes. Paul then went on a rampage, calling out a host of fighters.

Could Jake Paul fight a UFC fighter in his next fight?

Paul has been dismissed as a ‘legitimate’ fighter thus far. However, after securing a win against Askren in the manner that he did it is hard to deny that ‘The Problem Child’ knows how to fight. He is also a massive draw due to his polarizing personality having sold over 1.3 million PPVs which is among the most successful boxing PPV events.

After his win, ‘The Problem Child’ was involved in trash talk against the likes of Tyron Woodley and Daniel Cormier among others. A lot of fighters and fans alike did not like the way Paul addressed ‘The Chosen One’, a welterweight great in the UFC as he was inspecting Paul’s hand wraps ahead of the fight. Paul was in attendance at UFC 261 and was confronted by former two-division champion Daniel Cormier the pair almost got into an altercation even before the fights started.

MMA fans are a tight-knit community and showed their support by chanting abuses at Jake Paul during UFC 261 tonight.

Recently Tyron Woodley was released from the UFC and is now a free agent. After his altercation with Paul in the locker room, he stated he was interested in a fight against Paul. His free agency status would help him secure a fight without any hurdles against Paul. It would be a good litmus test for Paul as Woodley is a former UFC champion and is a deadly striker.
