‘Gamebred’ pulled up on Paul and the two exchanged a few words. The video found its way to social media platforms and instantly caught the attention of the entire combat sports community. The video further referred to an episode of Ariel Helwani’s show where Masvidal badmouthed ‘The Problem Child’. Thus, it took Paul no time to confront Masvidal about it.

Paul asked Masvidal, “Are you serious? Why are you trying to cause trouble?” Masvidal, being sneaky, replied that it was his city. This seemingly enraged the boxer. After confirming Masvidal’s claim, he sarcastically asked whether he owned the piece of property they were standing on, and pointed to the ground. Masvidal denied it and pointed towards the property that he did own.

However, Paul was enraged by something else. Previously, ‘Gamebred’ bashed ‘The Problem Child’ on Helwani’s talk show. Paul fired, “‘Cause you’ve been saying a lot on Ariel Helwani. You called me a punk b*tch.” Surprisingly, Masvidal did nothing but admit, “I did.”

I’m putting money in my brothers and sister’s pockets so they go out there and give the violence that we all get to see.“
