Starting off with the noted UFC fighter, Aljamain Sterling, highlighting the coveted possible scuffle between Jake Paul and Floyd Mayweather, we’ll also have a look at what Jones‘s coach had to say about his retirement. We’ll wrap things up by putting light on the key points which came up from the Power Slap League supremo’s pre-finale press conference.

Aljamain Sterling retweeted the video of Jake Paul running away

Floyd Mayweather wasn’t probably over with his coveted ‘cap-snatching’ scuffle with Jake Paul. Recently, a TMZ sports video showcased ‘Money’ ganging up with some of his entourages and surrounding Paul while he was returning after viewing a ‘Miami Heat’ NBA match. The video also garnered a response from the noted UFC Bantamweight Champion Aljamain Sterling.

‘The Problem Child’ later put out a video on his Instagram story and a tweet describing the whole incident.

Later, ‘Funkmaster’, retweeted the TMZ sports video featuring Paul running off. He captioned his tweet, “Shiiiid my a** would’ve ran too, if 5+ ppl trying to hop me. What sensible 5’7” person gonna stay there trying to be Batman “

Sterling‘s intent behind retweeting this video was pretty clear from his words. In a way, he appreciated Paul running off from the scuffle to save himself.

Jon Jones’ coach made a shocking revelation about his retirement

Despite becoming the UFC Heavyweight king just a few days ago, ‘Bones’s’ coach, Brandon Gibson predicted Jones might opt for retirement much earlier than fans expect. Gibson recently visited the noted MMA-themed podcast, ‘The MMA Hour’ where he answered Ariel Helwani’s questions about how long will ‘Bones’ keep going in the Heavyweight division.

Gibson revealed, “I think Jon is going to be one of those athletes that walks away early. I think Jon will ride off into the sunset, and us, as MMA fans, will still be clamoring for one more or talking about the potential matchups. I don’t think Jon’s going to have too much more to prove.”

Helwani popped up with a question, “Could his Stipe [Miocic] fight be the last?”. But Gibson didn’t provide any more detail about his thoughts. What do you think? Can Jones’ fight against Stipe Miocic be his final UFC bout?

Dana White’s primary talking points from his pre-Power Slap League final press conference

Most combat sports fans know that Dana White‘s new venture, the Power Slap League, didn’t garner pretty positive responses from the masses. Even some fighting world personalities had stood against it. But, White‘s PSL eventually managed to hold on to the scene to host its first final.

However, the PSL boss, White, rather had some criticizing words for the media. He blamed the media for creating a generally negative opinion and selective outrage against his new promotion. Recently, at the pre-PSL final, White stated, “The media has been incredible through this thing. Selective outrage, that’s what’s happened here at Power Slap… Logan Paul and Arnold Schwarzenegger had a slap event unregulated, no medicals, no nothing. Nobody said boo. We do the right thing, and everybody is outraged. You guys have helped me build this thing into a monster”.

White put up the fact that Arnold Schwarzenegger and Logan Paul had also been involved in hosting a similar slap-fighting contest. But there was absolutely nothing against them in the media.

Moving on, White also stated that he himself was probably the reason for the media going against PSL. The UFC boss mentioned, “Everything that’s negative that’s being said about it is an attack on me. It’s me that these guys are attacking. It’s not the actual slapping. The media, it’s all about me. Okay? They want to f**k me. That’s why they’re saying what they’re saying about the slap.”

It will be interesting to watch whether White comes up with a ‘Season 2’ for the PSL despite the negativity for it.
