Jake Paul just improved to 3-0 in his pro-boxing career with a first round TKO of MMA veteran Ben Askren. Now another UFC stalwart is calling for a fight against him.
Two-division UFC champion B.J. Penn took to social media to ask Triller for a contract to fight the YouTuber-turned-boxer. He claims that if it happens, he’d “happily” knock Paul out in one round.
Penn’s accomplishments in mixed martial arts are undeniable, and he’s considered as one of the best lightweights in MMA history. So while I wouldn’t be surprised to see Triller bite and make him an offer — 51-year-old Chuck Liddell was ringside and is already featured in their promos after all — I really don’t think they should.
