Jake Paul knocked Tyron Woodley out cold in their rematch at the Amalie Arena. ‘The Problem Child’ and ‘The Chosen One’ were tied up in a close fight until the sixth round. Early in the sixth round, Paul caught Woodley with a strong right hook and sent him crashing down.

In the post-fight interview with Ariel Helwani, Paul showed respect to the former UFC welterweight champion. He then proceeded to call out a couple of UFC veterans. Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz were the names that he brought up.

The call-out got an immediate response from UFC welterweight Jorge Masvidal. ‘Gamebred‘ didn’t hold back and asked Paul to sign a one-fight contract in the UFC and step inside the octagon.

He said, “Listen, man, you can’t f**king afford me. You understand? Me and those other names you mentioned, you can’t f**king afford. I know what you pay. You talk of big game. You say $50 million here, $100 million there. Bulls**t.”

“If that was the case, Mayweather would’ve took the f**king fight with you b**cha**. You giving up free tickets, you have street teams giving out free tickets, man… So let me tell you a little secret about me, I fight for money, or I fight the best in the world. You’re neither.”

“I’ll tell you what, come on over to the UFC. Sign a one-fight deal, let Dana give you whatever the f**k he’s gotta pay you. I’ll break your jaw in front of the whole world, man. I promise you that. If you really want it, come get it.”
