Yet others reminded everyone of the official scorecards.

Should he fight Johnny Eblen next?

Others recalled how Brunson hadn’t taken a win in a while.

Clearly, his landslide victory has brought a great and pleasant surprise to the MMA community. The question is, can he do it all over again? If the answer is yes, Brunson wanted no other than Jake Paul next. “I came here to ball, where the hell is Jake Paul? I came here for the big fights. Next time we’re going to look for the finish.” He said in the post-fight interview. Will Paul get to accept his challenge?

Why does Brunson want Paul?

Derek Brunson has had his eyes out for Jake Paul for a while now. And even Paul has reciprocated with a wish to fight Brunson. However, in spite of having fought Nate Diaz, the PFL boxer was not allowed to go against Brunson. The reason? The UFC. But now, Brunson is free of the UFC.

“Jake Paul is now with the PFL, we’ve got a bit of history. He asked Dana to fight me a couple years ago, so that’s a possibility. People saw me going over to the PFL and thought the timetable was there and it was perfect.” He had said in a previous interview. Now he’s called out the boxer up front. Will the two get to meet in the squared circle? Only time will tell.
