Jake Paul, who came to popularity as a content creator and YouTuber, has been making waves in the sporting world as of late. Paul went viral after knocking out former NBA player Nate Robinson in a professional boxing match in the co-main event of the Mike Tyson-Roy Jones Jr event last month.
Since then, Jake Paul has been talking about facing even bigger names in the combat sports world, including former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor.
According to Paul, he has been in contact with McGregor’s team, and the Irish star supposedly ‘understands’:
While McGregor has yet to officially respond to any of Jake Paul’s challenges, another former two-division UFC titleholder has stepped forward to issue his own challenge.
Former UFC flyweight and bantamweight champion Henry Cejudo took to Twitter to call-out the trending YouTuber-turned-boxer:
The text on the picture that Henry Cejudo posted reads:
Jake Paul will have a massive size advantage over Henry Cejudo
If the Jake Paul-Henry Cejudo matchup does come into fruition, Paul will likely have a big size advantage over Cejudo.
Paul, who is listed as a cruiserweight, weighed in at 189-pounds for his fight against Nate Robinson, and stands at 6'1’'.
Cejudo meanwhile, stands at just 5'4’’, and competed in the UFC’s 125-pound and 135-pound divisions.
While Paul may be the bigger athlete, Cejudo will have a major advantage in experience, having been an 18-fight MMA veteran, not to mention an Olympic gold medalist.
