During his recent interview with Ariel Helwani of ESPN MMA, Jake Paul responded to DC’s callout by stating he wasn’t surprised that Cormier challenged him to an MMA fight, considering The Problem Child doesn’t have any experience fighting inside the octagon.
Paul further highlighted the disparity in skill level between himself and Cormier by emphasizing that DC has trained in boxing, striking, standup and has shared the octagon with the likes of Stipe Miocic and Jon Jones.
Jake Paul further added that he does not belong to an MMA background and is only well-rounded in boxing.
Jake Paul noted that a boxing match between him and Cormier would generate more money than an MMA bout between the two. Paul even claimed he never said he would beat DC in Mixed Martial Arts but is confident about his chances in a potential boxing bout against Cormier. The Problem Child continued:
Could Jake Paul and Daniel Cormier end up facing each other?
Jake Paul seems determined to fight Daniel Cormier under the boxing ruleset and by the looks of it, the former isn’t willing to do an MMA bout. However, Cormier has claimed that he isn’t aiming to chase a payday in boxing. Hence, a fight between the pair seems unlikely.
