And YouTuber turned boxer Paul was quick to mock No Love’s latest setback.
The 24-year-old tweeted to his 3.9million followers: “What’s worse[?]
“Cody losing or him not being able to ride roller coasters due to height requirements?”
Garbrandt, 29, soon got wind of Paul’s taunt and was quick to reply to the ever-confident social media star.
The Ohioan quote tweeted the former Disney star’s insult and said: “Roller coast deez [sic] nutz.”
Garbrandt’s response to Paul drew praise from his legion of followers and garnered close to seven thousand likes.

The former 135lb king is anything but a fan of Paul, who he challenged to an MMA fight after seeing him knock out former UFC welterweight Ben Askren.
Last month, Garbrandt said: “Your whole squad would get f***ed up. You beat a guy that can’t box in boxing.
“Why won’t you come to the cage? Cause you’re a p***y, so is your whole squad.
“I’d give up 50lbs to you and knock that toupee off your f***ing head. You’ll be exposed soon.”
Defeat to the in-form Font – who is now on a four-fight win streak – bounced fan favourite Garbrandt out of the win column.
The heavy-handed Garbrandt is now 1-4 in his last five outings to the octagon.

But he was quick to give Font his dues after their five-round showdown.
Alongside a picture of the pair embracing, Garbrandt wrote: “Congrats to @rob_font and his camp!.”
Fans flooded Garbrandt with messages of support after the fight, with one writing: “You got some chin, Cody.
“Well done on the fight. Tough day but you’ll be back. Your head movement is amongst the top 3 in UFC. Good luck!”
Another said: “You’ll always be one of mine and my son’s favourite fighters.
“You’re a warrior and I can’t wait to see the next war. Much love…no love.”
And another said: “Made me an even bigger fan tonight. Tough as they come.
“Keep your head up high cause you have nothing to be ashamed about, Champ.”

BOXING legend Mike Tyson wants to see Jake Paul fight UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman.The YouTuber began firing shots at Africa’s first UFC titleholder last month after seeing him brutally knock out Jorge Masvidal.

Usman, however, was quick to pour cold water on talk of a big-money fight with the former Disney star.
But Tyson believes The Nigerian Nightmare would be foolish not to take the mega-money bout.
During a recent episode of his Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson podcast, Iron Mike told former two-division UFC champ Henry Cejudo: “I want to see that s**t.
“It’s going to be so much f**king money, how can he turn it down?
“That’s way more money than… it’s twice or three times as much money [than he earns] in the UFC. So, how could he turn it down?”
Usman, 33, is currently focused on furthering his legacy in MMA – although he’d happily punish the younger Paul brother for an eight-figure payday.

During an appearance on ESPN’s Ahora o Nunca, he said: “I don’t necessarily care for the fight. I don’t care for it. I don’t really entertain it, honestly.
“But there’s a lot of work that I’ve put into my sport to get to the position that I’m in.
“And then when you see these guys come in and just, ‘Oh, I wanna challenge him. I want to challenge that guy.’ It’s almost disrespectful.
“It’s almost disrespectful to the point where, like I said earlier, I’m also the judge.
“And sometimes you might want to go out and send them a clear message and give them a harsh punishment.”

When asked how much it would take for him to get in the ring with The Problem Child, he said: “I think the check would have to have eight zeroes in it.
“If there’s eight zeroes in front of the check, then for sure, we’ll consider it. For sure.”
Usman’s comments on Paul come a week after the social media star claimed to be in talks to box the UFC’s 170lb king.
He told former UFC middleweight and light-heavyweight title challenger Chael Sonnen: “There’s conversations happening.
“I believe Kamaru’s manager is already in talks with Dana [White], and I think that’s all I can say.
“One hundred per cent, I’m down for all the smoke. I want all the smoke. Daniel Cormier, another example.”

OSCAR DE LA HOYA has challenged Dana White to a boxing match after the UFC chief blocked him from fighting Georges St-Pierre.Two-division UFC champion St-Pierre was on course to welcome The Golden Boy back to the ring in an exhibition bout.
But the fight was vetoed by White as GSP is still under contract with the UFC.

De La Hoya was fuming after learning of White’s blocking of the bout, so much so he challenged the veteran promoter to meet him inside the ring.
He tweeted: “@danawhite. Quit blocking @GeorgesStPierre’s chance to fight.
“How about we get into the ring first little B*#ch then after I kick your ass, I’ll fight a real man.”
White and De La Hoya, 51 and 48 respectively, have a far from a cordial relationship – with the pair no stranger to taking shots at each other.
And White reignited their feud last August by mocking De La Hoya’s proposed comeback.

When asked for his thoughts on De La Hoya returning to action after over a decade of retirement, he said: “Cocaine isn’t cheap.
“It’s expensive. You’ve got to make money.”
White’s blocking of a fight with De La Hoya upset St-Pierre, although the French-Canadian understands his former promoter’s decision not to give his blessing.
Earlier this week, he told Cinema Blend: “I understand that Dana didn’t want me to fight,” St-Pierre. However, it would have been fun.
“Because my career as a professional fighter, to become the best in the world in mixed martial arts, is done.

“I’m turning 40 years old tomorrow; I’m going to be 40 years old. It’s a young man’s game.
“However, to rather fight a boxing match under the rules that Triller put on against the legendary Oscar De La Hoya?
“For me, it would have been a dream come true, because he is my second favorite boxer of all time, behind ‘Sugar’ Ray Leonard.
“Plus, a lot of the money made would have been given to charity. So it would have been for a good cause, just to show that we don’t take ourselves too seriously.
“And it would have been serious competition because you say, I play basketball, I play hockey, but you don’t ‘play’ fighting. It would have been fun.”

But the 25-year-old – who used to wrestle at Ohio University – also has ambitions of setting foot inside the cage.
When asked if he’d be interested in trying his hand at MMA, Paul told Bellator commentator Mauro Ranallo: “Yeah absolutely.
“I actually think I’d probably be better at MMA because of my wrestling background.”
Unlike his brother Jake, Logan appears to have the utmost respect for mixed martial artists.
He continued: “I will say it is a tough sport, it’s harder than boxing. MMA fighters are legitimate all-around 360-degree fighters.
“I’ve had some knee issues on both knees and it’s rough on the body, but I can’t not do one MMA fight before I die.

“I’m gonna do at least one. And if I win, I’ll probably do at least another.”
Despite having no amateur MMA experience to his name, Paul has ambitions of one day fighting in the UFC.
In January, he said: “He [Jake] pissed off Dana White. Now Dana has grouped us together which sucks.
“I love Dana White, I love the UFC. Now Dana thinks we’re the same person.
“We’re so different. I love the UFC fights. I want to do a UFC fight one day. I’m not saying now, let me get my skills up.

🥊 MAYWEATHER VS LOGAN PAUL: Where will the fight take place, what TV channel and live stream will it be on?

“Dana, take me back. I’m not Jake! Please. Bro, he’s given me tickets to go to UFC fights before. F**! F**k! I love Conor McGregor dude.”
But the chances of him setting foot inside the octagon are slim to none as UFC supremo White has no intention of ever working with either Paul brother.
He said: “Neither one of those guys can fight.
“It’s all a big gimmick. Like I said in a [recent] press conference, there’s a market for that.
“If people are dumb enough to spend their money watching that s***, I don’t know what to tell you.
“Good luck to them. I [couldn’t] care less what that guy [does].
“I get it. He’s trying to make some money and is doing his thing. There are people who want to spend money on that. I’m not that guy.”

Usman, 33, was quick to pour cold water on a clash with the younger Paul brother but sent a chilling warning his way after he tweeted a picture of his daughter.
But The Problem Child is confident he’ll share the ring with The Nigerian Nightmare.
During an Instagram Q&A, Paul was asked: “Do you wanna fight Usman?”
And the 25-year-old replied: “Yes it will happen.”
Paul may be eager to fight Usman, but that eagerness doesn’t stretch to former lightweight king Khabib Nurmagomedov.
When asked if he’s interested in facing The Eagle, he replied: “No, I love Russia and Khabib.”
Paul’s comments on a potential fight with Usman come just days after he claimed talks over the bout are already under way.

“One hundred per cent, I’m down for all the smoke. I want all the smoke. Daniel Cormier, another example.”
UFC supremo White, however, has no intention of ever doing business with Paul.
During an interview with ESPN, the veteran promoter said: “First of all, I would never do business with those guys, just no.
“No, this is not what we do. I’m not gonna f*****g loan them a guy for f*****g what? There’s no way.
“You got plenty of fg goofballs out there that you can muster up to get in there and play these games that these guys are playing. Yeah, I’m not your guy.”

He added: “Listen, you cannot deny the fact that this kid has inserted himself into the conversation with real guys.
“‘This guy has got three fights, and I gotta tell you that I don’t know if I truly believe the Ben Askren thing. I have a hard time wrapping by brain around that.
“Let’s see how long it takes before this kid’s 15 minutes are up, but they are being smart.
“They are keeping him away from anybody that could actually really do damage.
“I don’t know. The Ben Askren thing still blows my mind.”

MICHAEL BISPING admitted he did not ‘suitably entertain’ an offer to fight Jake Paul – but still ‘had a laugh with it’. Paul was searching for an opponent last December, having just knocked out ex-NBA star Nate Robinson in two rounds.

Bisping, 42, along with Dillon Danis and Ben Askren, 36, were all sent a contract to fight the YouTuber.
The UFC legend has since admitted it was not enough money, while 27-year–old Danis was ruled out with injury, leaving Askren to accept and be stopped in two minutes.
Bisping was still engaged in a social media spat with Paul having been called out as he opened up on the short-lived negotiations.
He told talkSPORT: “Jake Paul’s team did make me an offer which I didn’t suitably entertain.
“I’m not interested in coming out of retirement, obviously I’ve got so many injuries. But I did have a bit of a laugh with it.”
Bisping, who retired in 2017, has admitted he has no plans to fight again.
He has found success as a commentator, pundit, podcaster and actor to help keep the competitive urge away.
But others have not been so lucky, with legendary fighters since coming out of retirement for spectacle bouts.

Mike Tyson, 54, did so in November, with Evander Holyfield, 58, and Oscar De La Hoya, 48, among the others set to follow.
But Bisping does not discredit the iconic names for lacing up the gloves again, for whatever reason it may be.
He said: “I’m all for fighters, you know, being able to make money after they are done. Because it is such a tough road, it is.
“I’ve been very lucky, I’m not trying to brag, I’m just saying I have been lucky.
“I commentate for the UFC, I do my podcast and I’ve got things going on. But that isn’t the norm.
“Most fighters, when they retire, they step away and it is hard reality.
“They’re no longer the centre of attention, they don’t walk out to 20,000 people, people aren’t asking for autographs and the money dries up pretty quickly.
“They are kind of on the scrap heap and what happens is some people turn to alcohol, some people turn to drugs, you know they get very depressed.
“So I will never sit here and judge a fighter that decides to come out of retirement to get another pay day, because they need it.”
