Social Media sensation, Jake Paul has taken the boxing world by storm. ‘The Problem Child’ has won five fights with no losses. Moreover, Paul shook the world after a knockout victory against the former UFC Welterweight champion Tyron Woodley. Recently, The Youtuber made a challenging statement toward UFC pound-for-pound king, Kamaru Usman.
In the interview, Paul discussed a potential match against Usman. Paul is candid in calling out fighters and called the match-up ‘Easy Money’. “Usman’s not worth the 100 mil, you know. He’s like a three to five million type of guy, but again, he’s owned by Dana. And again, whenever he gets let out of the contract, let’s make it happen. Easy money,” said Paul.

Earlier, Paul overwhelmed Woodley and Ben Askren from the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Therefore, Paul feels that Dana White is perhaps protecting his fighters. “Yeah, I mean look I already embarrassed this company by taking out you know Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley so, I don’t think he wants that it would be too much of a risk for him to let one of his fighters lose to me,” said Paul.

In fact, The ‘Problem Child’ sent the entire MMA community into shock as he knocked out Askren in the first round. “Kamaru Usman, one of the pound-for-pound best in the UFC, losing to me is very bad for their company, so I think he’s you know trying to protect that,” said Paul.

“You can add up every fight Jake Paul has had and the pay-per-view numbers weren’t more than what I did in my last fight. They can say whatever they want to say. He can say this or that. Write me a check for $100M Jake Paul. I’ll be there to kick your ass next week,” said Usman.
