I loathe to say it, but Jake Paul may possibly just be the greatest winner of Saturday night’s Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. occasion. By scoring an certainly remarkable knockout opposite previous NBA star Nate Robinson (View IT!), Paul highly developed his experienced record to 2- and generated a ton of hype. Tyson himself even argued for a YouTube-tier title belt!

Immediately just after the struggle, Paul neatly had two names completely ready to go: Conor McGregor and Dillon Danis. The former bout is nevertheless a lengthy, lengthy way from going on, but the latter? Danis, the jiu-jitsu trainer of McGregor, is at the moment recovering from a knee damage on the Bellator sidelines, leaving him considerably readily available to box.

For Paul, battling Danis is an chance to build beef with McGregor, whereas it’s a large income opportunity for the grappler. The battle would make feeling to the stage that it looks probably.

Daniel Cormier likes the YouTube boxer above the professional fighter.

Danis has still to demonstrate a lot kickboxing in the cage, but he’s been education with a experienced fight staff for yrs. At the extremely the very least, he’s a important stage up from fellow YouTubers and former basketball players.

Is Cormier on the money or off his rocker?
