Daniel Cormier doesn’t want to fight Jake Paul, but if it has to happen, it’s going to be in Cormier’s world.
The former UFC light heavyweight and heavyweight champion drew one of the loudest reactions on Saturday during a stacked UFC 261 event in Jacksonville, Fla., when he went face-to-face with YouTube star and combat sports interloper Jake Paul. Paul had already drawn the ire of the crowd just by making an appearance at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena, with chants of “F*ck Jake Paul” echoing throughout the arena, but the situation reached a fever pitch when Cormier confronted Paul.
