Fight fans react to a lightweight UFC fighter downplaying professional boxer Jake Paul after witnessing Mark Zuckerberg’s MMA skills in a viral video on social media.
Jake Paul, a former YouTuber who is now a professional boxer, has long made hints that he will make his MMA debut. ‘The Problem Child’ has won over a few previous MMA champions during his boxing career, but he hasn’t yet dabbled in mixed martial arts.
Terrance McKinney, a lightweight fighter in the UFC, poked fun at the Ohio native while indicating the same. In the process, McKinney also praised Meta platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg for his recent displaying of MMA in a clip.
Just a reminder that Mark Zuckerberg will train mma but Jake Paul won’t 😂

Sean O’Malley believes Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz will happen
Ever since his debut in professional boxing, ‘The Problem Child’ has been calling out top UFC contenders. One of them is the Stockton slugger Nate Diaz. Diaz is a prominent name in the sport. Thus, Paul wants a bit of him.
UFC star Sean O’Malley believes this fight will. “Think about it, even if Nate Diaz loses and Jake Paul loses, dude, that’s a sick fight. Or, if Jake Paul wins and Nate loses and goes, it doesn’t matter, that fight is going to be sick! Jake versus Nate? I think [it’ll happen]. I think it’s just too big not to,” O’Malley said in the recent episode of his podcast.
According to reports, Paul vs. Anderson Silva, a former UFC champion, is currently in the making for October 2022. However, nothing has been official yet. Meanwhile, Diaz is ready for his next- which is probably going to be his last- UFC fight against Khamzat Chimaev.
Irrespective of the results of their next fight, ‘Suga’ admits that there is a high possibility that Diaz vs. Paul’s boxing match will come to fruition.
Do you guys agree with O’Malley? What is your reaction to McKinney’s tweet?
