Two-time WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair will be attending the much-awaited bout between YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, and Two Time National Champion and UFC Heavyweight Ben Askren on Saturday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Ahead of the bout. MMAJunkie asked Flair his thoughts on the similarities between Triller and WrestleMania and Jake’s brother Logan Paul’s performance at WrestleMania 37.

“I don’t think people understand if you have the opportunity to be associated with WrestleMania, WWE brand… I don’t care how big they think they are, but they just got bigger,” Flair said. “Logan Paul just got a lot bigger after WrestleMania.”

“It’s global, it’s iconic, it’s been around forever. They (WWE) don’t spare one dime. As a matter of fact, they go the extra mile in money to provide the entertainment. The wrestlers… I mean, I’ve had 20 people here today, tell me how great WrestleMania was.”

Logan Paul was a part of the Sami Zayn vs Kevin Owens match and received a stunner from Owens after the ending of the bout. Although Flair was only present for the second night, he did not forget to praise the youngsters.

Flair is attending his very first Triller event and commended the “star-power.” Although he does not know much about Jake Paul, he said, “He (Paul) better be tough if he’s fighting a guy with a two-time National championship.”

Flair, a Wrestling legend, is a fan of everything competitive, and he was glad to receive an invitation to the event. He will also be calling the SlapStrike exhibition match between United States Champion Da Crazy Hawaiian and The Bear Man.
