Jake Paul has MMA fighters lined up to be the next boxing opponent after former Bellator and ONE welterweight champion Ben Askren’s first knockout round on Saturday.
The YouTube star did a quick job of Askren, who was never known for his impressive despite his success in MMA. As soon as Askren hit the canvas, the mixed martial artist began shouting at Paul, including some former UFC champions.
Former welterweight champion Tyron Woodley responded to a tweet by Paul throwing his name into the hats of fighters willing to box on social media fame. Woodley is a close friend and teammate of Askren.
“Enjoy saying you are a fighter for another day. Try me to catch a body @jakepaul And you pick up with shovels. “I would not take a pillow with them,” Woodley wrote.
Enjoy saying you are a fighter for another day. Try this shit against me, I grab a body @jakepaul And you pick up with shovels. I would not go into a pillow fight with them. https://t.co/CKVwEH5Yj2

“I still love Ben Askren, I liked his wrestling and mma career, he would probably fight me in an mma fight, but I will happily take revenge on him! “Jake and spy at the same time,” he said in a follow-up tweet.

Other fighters who offered to face Paul in a boxing match included Paul Dillon Danis’ opponent, Jimi Manuwa, Chris Leben, Phil Baroni, and there is no doubt that there will be others.
Dannis wrote, “it’s 100%. Send me the contract. Let ‘s do this. I’ll put it cold.” Then he said to Paul: âDo not run @jakepaul I will find you, let’s see what you do. “
