Daniel Cormier picks Jake Paul to beat Dillon Danis

Over the weekend Jake Paul scooped headlines by knocking former NBA player Nate Robinson out cold in their boxing match underneath the big Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. exhibition. The win moved Paul’s pro boxing record to 2-0.

The YouTuber, and younger brother of more popular YouTuber Logan Paul, made his ring debut last year, when he defeated another YouTuber under pro boxing rules. Since Saturday Paul has been taking a victory lap, claiming he might be the ‘next Mayweather’ and calling out former UFC champ-champ, and 0-1 boxer, Conor McGregor.

ESPN opinionator, and a former champ-champ himself, Daniel Cormier weighed in on the matter and announced that he believed longtime pro combat sport athlete McGregor would beat Paul should they ever meet in the boxing ring.
