As mentioned above, Jake Paul is about to lock horns against Ryan Bourland this weekend. Despite this Paul is looking at a much farther distance. ‘Problem Child’ is having an intense beef with Strickland. In the latest conversation, Paul revealed, “It’s a typical story of these UFC guys who call me out and then go quiet. I said, ‘I’ll send you the PJ. Let me know where we can spar for a million dollars. ‘Oh I’d get sued by the UFC if I sparred Jake,’ but you just sparred Sneako.”

He further added “but you just sparred Sneako. You could spar anyone, contractually in your UFC contract, it says nothing about sparring. I see a very insecure, lost, wannabe like alpha male that’s hiding behind the tough man complex, he needs a hug. Mr. Seany I’ll put my soft little hands on his little bald head and make him feel the love that his mother or father never gave him.”
