Since the match Jake Paul vs Ben Askren took place in mid -April, Jake Paul had many disagreements with the former champion of the two -weight championship now a commentator of UFC, Daniel Cormier. Even things are increasingly fierce when Cormier guarantees to slap Paul in the face if both face in real life.
It was obvious that Jake Paul was not afraid of that warning. Paul's younger brother came to UFC 261, where Daniel Cormier was a commentator. And whatever came – although there was no slap in Jake Paul's face, Cormier arrived in front of Youtuber and quarreled at the event.
Fortunately, everything only stopped at the aperture. Both have not been scuffled at the event.
After UFC 261 ended, UFC President Dana White commented that he did not want to involve Jake Paul and the tricks of the YouTuber guy.
“In fact, there are still people who want to see Jake Paul play. But what he does, it's not our job,” Dana White said. “What UFC wants to do is organize the event tonight, we have sold tickets and the audience is full of audiences.”
As for Daniel Cormier, he confirmed that he would never fight Paul:
“I am a great boxer. He won two champions at UFC. Why do I have to go to punch a bullshit kid on YouTube. What to fight? He has to do something that is worthy to compare with me.”
Although Jake Paul is just a dream of antagonistic sports, it is undeniable that his spread to the fans of the movement. With 1.6 million people paying the last match with Ben Askren, this number beyond UFC's events.
