      Jake Paul ‘BLOCKED from fighting MMA star by UFC’ after claims YouTube star ‘doesn’t make money’

      YouTuber-turned boxer Paul was quick to hit out at the former UFC middleweight champion Strickland.
      He posted on X, formerly Twitter: “You’re embarrassing for trying to stop Sneako like that you weren’t even able to drop someone with no experience while going all out.
      “You’re a horrid boxer that only picks on inexperienced people.. I’ll fly you to (Puerto Rico) and we can fight on camera… if you win I’ll give you $1 million (half your net worth).
      “But if you get dropped you have to get Betr tattooed on you.”

      Strickland accepted the offer and a back and forth online ensued between the pair.
      But the American then took to his own YouTube channel to say UFC chief Hunter Campbell was against the idea and aimed a dig at Paul.
      Strickland said: “I will fight this man. You let Conor McGregor fight (Floyd) Mayweather, this is an easier fight, easier money, can I do that?
      “And then Hunter explained to me that [Paul] sells no fights. When they have fights, they give away tickets. He doesn’t make money.

      “His target audience is children — they don’t buy pay-per-views. So, a little depressing.

      Jake Paul sends $1MILLION offer to ‘bully’ Sean Strickland for live sparring session… with bizarre tattoo on the cards
      “But sadly, Jake Paul is an influencer. He sells to children. Children don’t buy pay-per-views.
      “So, I dunno man, get some adults to follow you and we will fight.”
      Strickland has gained a reputation for ruthless sparring sessions and has even bragged about wanting to “KILL” opponents in the cage.
      And despite pouring cold water on a prizefight with Paul, he challenged him to what appeared to be a brawl on the Las Vegas strip.

      Strickland said: “So here’s the thing, Jake Paul, you clearly know I can’t fight you.
      “You know this. The UFC knows this. We all know this, that you and me cannot fight.
      “But what we can do, is you can get in your fancy plane, you can fly your ass to Vegas, and we can have a little pow-wow.
      “I’ll do it for free. I don’t need a check, I don’t need to live stream it. I will do it for free, sir.”

      Strickland stunned Israel Adesanya in September to win the UFC title but recently lost it to Dricus du Plessis via controversial split-decision.
      Paul meanwhile has beaten four former UFC stars during his career and returns on March 2 in Puerto Rico against 17-2 boxer Ryan Bourland. More

      It featured a video of her playing football with her kids, Cristiano Jr, Mateo, Eva, Alana and Bela.
      Georgina lined up a penalty kick in front of an open-goal, which ricocheted off the cross bar.
      The shot had echoes of Diana Ross’ infamous penalty at the opening of the USA World Cup in 1994.
      Ross took the penalty while singing her hit “I’m Coming Out” and spooned the shot closer to the corner flag than the actual goal.

      Nonetheless, the frame of the goal was ripped in two for Diana to run through as if the power of her shot had broke the net.
      Also among Georgina’s Instagram upload were shots of her family enjoying Ronaldo’s game against Al-Hilal in the Riyadh Season Cup final.
      The opening to the match was almost as bizarre as Diana Ross’ penalty, with WWE’s the Undertaker making a pre-match appearance.
      The wrestler, 60, donned his full WWE garb and walked onto the pitch to present the trophy before the game, set to his funereal theme tune.

      Ronaldo was seen laughing at the strangeness of the situation but his night soon became one to forget as his side lost 2-0.

      He also reacted furiously to chants of “Messi” during the game and pointed to the ground while appearing to say “I am here, Messi is not.”
      Nonetheless, the night looked to be a good day out for the family judging by Georgina’s Instagram.

      Jake Paul lists NINE reasons why he is the ‘best fighter in the world’ and eyes title fight NEXT YEAR

      by

      JAKE PAUL has claimed he is the “best fighter in the world” – and has a list of reasons to back it up. The YouTuber-turned boxer is 8-1 in his career and has set out lofty goals of becoming world champion.

      And Paul has insisted he is just like “every fighter” who wants to reach the pinnacle of the sport – before making perhaps his most outlandish claim yet.
      He told Fox Sports Australia: “I’m the best in the world.
      “That’s what I believe. And that’s what every fighter who gets to where they want to be believes.
      “And you have to believe it before the statistics or rounds of fights put you there.

      “I believe all things considered, my natural ability, my talent, my IQ, all of these things, my ability to learn, to adapt, my toughness, preparation, my will power, my team, all of the things behind me, I believe that I am the best fighter in the world.”
      Paul, 27, suffered defeat for the first time last February, losing a split-decision to Tommy Fury, 24.
      He then bounced back in August to beat ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38, on points over ten rounds.
      But Paul soon announced a switch in his career path and planned to fight lesser-known but seasoned boxers to build experience.

      It started with 10-1-1 Andre August, 35, who he knocked out in round one in December, kickstarting what he claimed is his road to the world title.
      Paul now returns on March 2 on the undercard of Amanda Serrano’s Puerto Rico homecoming against 17-2 Ryan Bourland.

      And his masterplan is to hold a world title by the age of 30, but business parter Nakisa Bidarian warned it could come as early as next year.
      And Bidarian compared Paul’s trajectory to former IBF cruiserweight champion Jai Opetaia, 28.
      He said: “Jake’s goal is to be world champion by the time he’s 30. He’s just turned 27. So it could be 28 or 29 years old.
      “I think Jai has 55 fights between amateur and pro. Jake though, after this fight is ten fights in.
      “But if you look at where Jai was ten fights in compared to where Jake is, when you see those two paths merging, Jake is going to surpass anyone performing well in the cruiserweight division currently.” More
