Jake Paul has not had a good time these past few weeks. His loss against Tommy Fury would have still been occupying space in his head and now he almost got jumped by Floyd Mayweather‘s entourage. ‘The Problem Child’ later challenged Floyd Mayweather for a one-on-one instead of trying to get him with 50 people in a tweet after the incident. Videos had emerged that showed Paul running away from the scene after he saw people gathering outside Miami Dade stadium. It now appears that he might have found some allies from the world of the UFC. Lightweight fighter Terrance McKinney has sent a message of support for the 26-year-old.

McKinney was last seen in the cage against Ismael Bonfim at UFC 283. He lost the fight and got knocked out in the round. McKinney, however, is remembered for his 7-second knockout in his first fight in the UFC. The feat left UFC president Dana White so impressed that he announced an unofficial reward for him.
