Ben Askren, the former UFC fighter, is seemingly raining down on Jake Paul ahead of his highly anticipated boxing clash. Chael made comments on the upcoming fight after the press conference was over.

Sonnen said, “They’re doing some stuff right. They had the press conference: Jake Paul looked like a fool. That’s not his fault that’s truly not his fault. He’s half doing a character and a gimmick up there, and he’s also out of his element.

The faceoff between the two got very awkward because Jake Paul looked uncertain about his character and could not perform his gimmick.

Sonnen picked this up and called him a fool. The ’Bad Guy’ was unimpressed with Jake Paul’s mic skills and blasted him for the same in a video.

“It was one of these things, but a lot has been made of it. All the way down to Daniel Cormier who waited on it and said okay now I know I’m all in Askren gonna whip him.”
