“I Didn’t Know The Schmo Made Jake Do the Chicken Dance” – After Viral Video, Jake Paul Squaring Up Against Famous UFC Journalist Has UFC World in Splits

Is it possible that when you focus so much on someone, you come to like them without realizing it? According to one fan, that might be the case for Jake Paul. ‘The Problem Child’ has turned his attention to UFC superstar Conor McGregor so much so that he’s copying his age-old fighting techniques.

In a recent clip posted on Instagram, Paul and MMA reporter ‘The Schmo’ were playfully beefing with each other. In the scripted scene, the pair shoulder bumped into each other and got in each other’s faces. They faced off in a fighting stance for a few seconds before hugging it out with Paul saying, “I love you, bro. I love you so much.”

The clip captioned ‘@jakepaul vs. @theschmo312 round 2?’ is a reference to the recent clip where their lookalikes were fighting on a stage. The Schmo lookalike had rocked the Paul doppelgänger with a spinning back fist in the clip.

Some fans took sly digs at Paul in the comments under the post. One of them even spotted a similarity to Conor McGregor in one of Paul’s actions.
