Jake Paul is one of the most popular names in combat sports right now. He is a polarizing figure that people tune in to watch, whereby most of them want to see him lose.

The YouTuber turned boxer is 5-0 in his professional boxing career. He last entered the ring to take on the former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley in a rematch. He spectacularly knocked out ‘The Chosen One,’ who stepped in to fight Paul on short notice. Woodley accepted the fight against Paul’s original opponent, Tommy Fury, pulled out of the fight. After the win, ‘The Problem Child’ called out two other UFC fighters, Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz.

Former UFC fighter Chael Sonnen, recently talked about the same. He weighed in on why Paul keeps calling out under contract UFC fighters. He said, “Dana’s guys are under contract with Dana. The end! There’s nothing else to talk about here. Paul knows that. Paul’s not thinking, ‘I can get under Dana’s skin. I can do just enough to just drive him crazy and make him send one of these guys.’ It’s not going to happen.”

“Dana’s not going to do him the favor, he’s not interested, and it has nothing to do with Paul, Showtime, and anybody else. Dana has never done that. His policy is very simple. It’s very straightforward, but it’s also very consistent… Why does Paul keep doing that? I don’t think that you got to put on your Columbo rain jacket to figure this out. Because he gets a response. It’s very good for business,” he added.

Despite his rise to fame in boxing, people are quick to dismiss him and what he’s done. People call for him to fight an actual boxer and Chael Sonnen is having none of it anymore. According to Sonnen, he’s a little annoyed that people won’t just tell him he’s done a good job.

He also said, “It irritates me that nobody wants to tell Paul, good job… I’m just not sure why we’re always so quick to dismiss Paul. And if you want to be on the boring side of things and say, well, Paul should fight a boxer, tell me one. I’ve heard a number of smart people say it. They use the same word, I am quoting right now, ‘he should fight a boxer.’ That is a quote said by everybody that wants to bury Paul.”

“Not one godd**n person has said a name, and the reason is, you don’t know them. Boxing has done a terrible job, boxers do a terrible job with self-promotion.”
