Jeremy was a warrior vs Rodriguez..Like Bobby Green..One of my favorite fighters.

[@Lie101]

Michael Johnson vs Jeremy was the fight iWanted them to make before they were both gone from the UFC.

[@Will45_]

The only thing worse than Bader vs Moldavsky is Bader vs Kongo. The Bellator heavyweight division is awful.

Obviously Jake Paul admires fighting and fighters. He already has made a hit load of money. Now he wants to make history by doing something meaningful for the people he admires. Completely understandable.

[@dcarson89]

Imagine Daley vs thiago Alves, Carlos condit, Johnny Hendricks back in 2010. Man were we robbed.

Why is Jake calling someone bald and lisp? When himself is a bald creep with lisp lol and he is just using mma fan’s hate against Dana to stay relevant he has no talent or skills to stay relevant by achieving anything bcs he knows eventually he’d have to fight someone legit (same size,age) but he can’t win against anyone his size and age and real fighters

[@kimjong699]

Don’t forget that he beat his girlfriend

[@brian.11]

Jake is already balding so is Logan that's why they have that hairstyle

[@SuperBlueMoonWA]

Hes been boxing for like 4 years. He will get better.

[@Thunderfist_McBeefcake]

He’s piggybacking of the UFC/Dana hate that’s spewed by MMA media. Same with fighter pay, despite UFC paying the most.

Why didn’t Ariel and Semtex break out laughing when Semtex said he could’ve knocked Anderson Silva out? I had to rewind that part to see if I missed something.
