Jake Paul is not new to beefing with UFC’s dominant superstars, and his list of targets includes the current welterweight kingpin Kamaru Usman, amongst many other names. Paul and Usman have previously traded shots on the Internet, teasing a potential clash between them somewhere down the line.

It seems Paul is ready for it right at the moment, especially after Usman’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz, advised Dana White to begin his desired Zuffa Boxing project. ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ has recently grabbed a call-out from Conor McGregor.

The ‘Notorious’, who is currently on a two-fight losing streak, has claimed to eye a shot at the UFC 170 lbs gold. In response, Abdelaziz pitched an idea to host the showdown under boxing guidelines, taking a potential hit at non-professional combatants.

Ali wrote, “If Dana thinks it will be an unfair fight between Kamaru and Conor, maybe it’s a good opportunity to start the launch of Zuffa boxing and we have to stop talking about these fake fighters from boxing.”

Well, Jake Paul chimed into the scene and compared his recent win over Tyron Woodley to Usman’s win against ‘The Chosen One’ from UFC 235.

‘The Problem Child’, painted shots and Abdelaziz and wrote, “Mr. Informant… do us all a favor and shut your peanut head a** mouth. The only thing fake is your boy Usman’s boxing skills. He won the belt from Tyron Woodley by decision. You seen what I did.”

 

Kamaru Usman had fought Woodley when ‘T-Wood’ seemed invincible and had the UFC belt around his waist. However, Paul knocked out a washed-up Tyron Woodley, that too in a sport where the UFC star had limited experience.

Jake Paul is also willing to enter the MMA cage

5-0 as a boxer, Paul has never faced a professional pugilist on his journey so far. He tried to secure a fight against Tommy Fury, but the Brit boxer backed off due to a medical injury in the final days of the fight. It urged Paul to face Woodley once again, and he silenced all his doubters with a highlight reel KO.
