UFC lightweight star Paddy Pimblett vows to slap YouTube-boxer Jake Paul if he attends UFC 282. The Scouser is set to star in the co-main event on Saturday night alongside Jared Gordon. Moreover, before the fight, he sat down with former 2 division champion Daniel Cormier for an interview. During the interview, they went through a lot of talking points, including Jake Paul. Furthermore, they discussed why the UFC fighter did not assault Jake Paul.

In addition, ‘DC’ also had beef with the American boxer, which erupted at UFC 261. It all began when a backstage brawl sparked out between Tyron Woodley and Jake Paul after he defeated Ben Askren. Cormier claimed that Paul should steer clear of Woodley.

Moreover, he also vowed to slap the boxer if he shows up in front of him. At UFC 261, the commentator, on hearing ‘Fu*k Jake Paul’ chant in the arena, went to him. In a heated moment in front of 15,000 fans, he maintained his calm and did not assault.

Similarly, Paddy Pimblett has also gotten involved with the Youtuber. In addition, he said that Paul Vs Silva was fixed. This riled up Paul, and he asked Pimblett to spar with him, the winner taking $1 million. If the British MMA fighter lost, then he’ll have to join the American boxer’s United Fighters Association.

Paddy Pimblett in a recent interview with Daniel Cormier, shared his dislike for the YouTube boxer. They both dived into the potential sparring session and into what was at stake. Furthermore, Pimblett questioned the whole stipulation by saying, “How do you win a spar?“

Moreover, the UFC Hall of Fame inductee shared how it annoyed him. He said, “It doesn’t annoy you? It annoyed me when he kind of like started talking to me. It annoyed me to the point that I couldn’t even sit and do commentary. I had to go and get in his face.”

Even though DC wanted to slap him, he didn’t. He explained why by saying, “I was kind of afraid that I was going to lose my job. I don’t think I can assault people anymore. Like you can assault people.”

Jake Paul isn’t afraid of UFC fighters

This isn’t the first time that Jake Paul has confronted a UFC fighter. He was a long-time fan of MMA and UFC. Moreover, he used to watch and attend events as well. Although concerns regarding the health benefits and pay to fighters made him dislike the association.

He has verbally confronted and fought many UFC stars. Such as Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, and Anderson Silva. Moreover, in the beginning, when he embarked on the journey of boxing, he mentioned how his end game was fighting Conor McGregor.
