Paul, in his above tweet, did not mention whether he wishes to face these names inside the ring or he idolizes them. However, since he included the UFC supremo in this list, it’s safe to say Paul definitely has something cooking in his mind.

Last Saturday, Paul performed admirably and made a statement with his win over Woodley. Coming into this fight, some people considered The Problem Child’ an underdog. Many fans even expected the fight to finish early and Woodley to win the fight via a finish.

However, Paul knew what he was supposed to do, and he ended up landing an incredible punch to KO ‘The Chosen One’.

This win put Jake Paul in a tremendous spot and fans’ perception towards him changed unquestionably.
