Video: Ben Askren facepalms Jake Paul, who shoves him with back turned at Triller presser

LAS VEGAS – They were supposed to be separated by plexiglass per COVID-19 protocols, but Jake Paul wasn’t having any of that when it came time to face off with Ben Asrken at the Triller press conference.

Paul got right in Askren’s face and talked trash, which he’d done almost without interruption since walking on to the closed set in Sin City. When he turned to face cameras, however, Askren kept staring and then facepalmed him and walked away.

Paul could have decked the UFC right there, but settled for a shove with his opponent’s back turned.
