JOE ROGAN reckons Jake Paul will be “s***ting his pants” after what Mike Tyson said before their fight.
The heavyweight icon and the YouTuber-turned-boxer are to collide in a controversial clash on July 20 in Texas.
Tyson said he was eating RAW MEAT in training for his first professional fight in over 20 YEARS.
And UFC commentator Rogan believes the disgusting claim will strike fear into Paul without a punch even being thrown.
Rogan said on his podcast: “He goes, ‘I just eat raw meat. I’m eating raw meat’.
“He goes, ‘You’re eating raw meat?’ He goes, ‘Yeah, I’m eating raw meat’.

“He goes, ‘Because that’s what I’m going to eat when I fight. I’m going to eat him, just raw meat’.
“Jesus Christ, he’s in this f***ing mode. He’s in that God of war mode.
“Bro, he’s in savage mode. If I was Jake Paul right now, I would be s****ing my pants.”
Tyson revealed he has banned himself from sex and smoking weed in training to help instal discipline.

But that is not the only eyebrow-raising reveal Iron Mike has made ahead of his boxing comeback.
Interviewer Damon Elliott said: “You look like 20-years-old. What the hell. What are you eating?”
A topless Tyson, 57, responded: “Raw meat.”
Elliott replied: “Seriously, Mike? You’re eating raw meat?”
Tyson chillingly warned: “I’m going to have to eat it now because my opponent’s going to be raw meat.”
Red meats like beef and some fish can be eaten raw but it is not recommended as it harbours illness-causing bacteria.
During Tyson’s prolific heyday, he ate up to 4,000 calories a day, enjoying steak, pasta, chicken, rice and fruits.
The boxing legend used to fight at 220lb (15st 7lb) during his reign of terror at heavyweight.
Paul has weighed as light as 183.6lb (13st 1lb) but his last two bouts have been at the 200lb cruiserweight limit of 14st 4lb.
Although he revealed astonishing plans to hit 240lb (17st 1lb) in training before cutting down two stone to 220lb.
He said on podcast: “I’m just getting to eat as much as possible and it turns out my body carries this weigh super well.
“And I’m only growing. I think I’ll get up to 240 and probably cut down so I’m like way faster.
“But if I’m training for this camp – and camp hasn’t started – but if I’m training in this camp at 240 and then I cut down to 220 it’s basically like I had a 20lb weight vest on for the whole entire camp.
“So my muscles are going to be so much stronger and that speed will come through.”
