YouTube sensation Jake Paul is not the most professional individual. He is known for making bizarre and outlandish statements that often at times do not make sense at all. Although Paul has worked on developing his personality into a more mature and professional person, he can sometimes go back to his bizarre ways.

The Problem Child recently posted a weird comment on a video of the fight between Luke Rockhold and Paulo Costa. In the video, Rockhold is trying to rub his bloodied face on Costa and Paul took no time to take shots at the former UFC middleweight champion.

“I should call her,” He wrote, suggesting he would like to call his girlfriend. However, he was then called out by a fan who stated Paul was ‘thirsty’ and told him to go away.

Moreover, another fan stated that Paul should go see a therapist after making this comment.

Furthermore, another fan stated that Paul was trying to get a match with a 40-year-old Rockhold. He called it ‘pathetic’ and ‘low class’.

Another fan hilariously stated that Paul was just drunk and rambling on the internet again.

Lastly, one fan asked Paul to pray to god for the sins he committed by posting this.

This was certainly a bizarre post, even by Paul’s standards. However, The Problem Child has an opinion about almost everything and is not shy to state it even if he gets trolled on the internet.
