Another day of shit talk coming from Jake Paul…
The YouTube star, and arguably the most disliked guy in America, has had a pretty “successful” boxing career so far. Make everybody want to watch you get your face beat in, and then not actually getting your face beat in, has been the strategy so far… and it’s working.
Granted, he hasn’t actually boxed a pro boxer. He’s fought another YouTuber, former professional basketball player Nate Robinson (who’s barely 5′ 9”) and a visibly out-of-shape former MMA Fighter Ben Askren.
Naturally, he’s been talking a bunch of shit and frankly, he’s been downright annoying. But he’s been able to back it up, especially after destroying both Robinson and Askren.

So who does Paul have his sights on now?
Only UFC legend Daniel Cormier.
Paul had a few choice words for the UFC fighter on his “Impaulsive” Podcast with his brother, Logan:
“Daniel Cormier, I’ll beat the f*ck out of your fat ass too… lust like Stipe did. I swear to god, I’ll beat the f*ck out of Daniel Cormier.”
The beef apparently started right after the Paul vs. Askren fight. Cormier tweeted about how Jake was disrespectful to ex-UFC champ Tyron Woodley.
So Jake being Jake… he had to respond:
BOUTTA COOK HIM UP CLEVELAND STYLE

Sheesh, the guy is walking on some thin ice…
Cormier proceeded to clap back on the “DC & Helwani” podcast on Monday:
“This dude would never fight me. I would kill him. Why would I ever fight someone like that?”
@dc_mma Daniel Cormier says that he will kill @jakepaul . What i really want is Jake Paul vs Francis Ngannou with Mario Yamasaki as the ref. 👏🏿 pic.twitter.com/ElUnKqxGt9

Jake responded yesterday, pushing for a Pay Per View fight against Cormier, while also claiming he would KO him like Askren.
Now the chances of these two actually fighting are pretty slim, as Cormier appears to not even want to waste his time on the fight.
But on a real note, somebody out there please, please, please get into the ring with Paul and shut his mouth for good. I physically cannot take another day of him running his mouth.
Sounds like BJ Penn will take that fight.
Hey @triller send me a contract and I will happily knock this fucker out in one round 💯 https://t.co/JSP5lNh9xh
