UFC legend Vitor Belfort forces Jake Paul to answer $30m challenge live on podcast Thriller / Jake Paul TwitterYouTube-turned-boxer Jake Paul has a few fighters lined up for his next bout, and one of them could soon be retired UFC legend Vitor Belfort, after he threw down the gauntlet to the tune of $30 million. After The Problem Child’s victory over Tyron Woodley, more MMA fighters have been wanting a piece of the spectacle that precedes a Paul fight. And Jake isn’t backing down from the constant attention he’s been attracting. During an interview with The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, the titular host got a message from The Phenom live during his interview with Paul. “‘Tell my son to don’t run away. To meet his big daddy. There’s no way out. I got $30 million. Winner takes all,’” Helwani read Vitor’s message to Paul. While the challenge was a surprise in the moment, Paul wasn’t about to back down from the live callout and met Vitor’s words in kind. “Well put [the $30 million] in escrow,” Paul replied to Belfort’s challenge while hitting out at fighters talking down at him. “The notion that these MMA fighters think that I’m scared of them or that I’m running away is funny.” Still on the rise, Paul has so far had four wins since stepping into the ring. The quality of his opponents had received its share of criticism, but his win against Woodley started to build on his fighting reputation. “I am going back-to-back-to-back on these bitch ass MMA fighters,” Paul said. “Line them up, I will take all of them down. You guys cannot box.” While this doesn’t mean that Belfort vs Paul has the greenlight, it does give The Problem Child a tantalizing target if he wants to secure his next opponent. He continued: “I outboxed a five-time UFC f**king champion (Woodley). Vitor Belfort didn’t even come close to that many championships. You guys cannot box for s**t.” Paul has a few names that apparently want to step into the ring with him next, and it’ll be interesting who he ends up going toe-to-toe with after Woodley.

UFC star Paddy Pimblett reignites fight rumors after calling out Logan Paul – Dexerto
UFC star Paddy Pimblett reignites fight rumors after calling out Logan Paul Youtube: Flagrant / Happy EndingsPaddy Pimblett called out Logan Paul in his appearance on the Happy Endings podcast, claiming he would shy away from fighting him. Paddy Pimblett and Logan Paul have clashed heads multiple times in the past. Logan Paul threatened Paddy with claims about a video the UFC star made about the KSI co-owned brand PRIME, and more recently the Paul brother called him out to a fight on the Elon Musk vs Mark Zuckerberg undercard. The undercard fight hasn’t happened, and the two social media superstars went on with their usual business, Paddy gaining another win in the UFC 296 event and Logan winning the WWE US title. However, in the Happy Endings podcast released on YouTube on January 3, Pimblett reignited the beef with Logan Paul as he spoke on the feud. Paddy Pimblett and Logan Paul beef reignited Asked if the beef with Logan Paul was real, here is how Paddy responded: “If he saw me in person he would probably lick my a** wouldn’t he?” he said. “He’d want a picture ‘n’ that” Paddy continued. “I’d fight him tomorrow. He’s only a mushroom lad, you know what I mean? He’s never had a fight in his life. People think Logan can wrestle because he wrestled in high school, but this is real life now,” the UFC star went on to say. Below is a clip taken from the Happy Endings Podcast where Paddy speaks on the situation: Some fans agreed with the Liverpudlian fighter, feeling that Paddy was being honest with his statements on the Paul brother. “What do you mean roasting? He’s speaking facts,” one person commented. Others, however, still struggled to decipher his thick accent that has been the butt of a joke countless times: “Bro speaking enchantment table,” someone said. If there are any further updates on the Paddy Pimblett and Logan Paul “beef” make sure to keep up with our Entertainment page for all the latest news.

Jake Paul challenges Paddy Pimblett after “pathetic” Anderson Silva match-fixing accusations – Dexerto
Jake Paul challenges Paddy Pimblett after “pathetic” Anderson Silva match-fixing accusations YouTube/MOLA/Instagram/JakePaulJake Paul has issued a $1 million challenge toward Paddy Pimblett, who accused the YouTuber star of fixing his latest bout against MMA icon Anderson Silva. Jake Paul has become a major player in the boxing world. With an undefeated record of 6-0 and his own promotion company to boot, ‘The Problem Child’ is making a big name for himself and even Paddy Pimblett thinks so. Ahead of his UFC 282 co-main event showdown against Jared Gordon, ‘The Baddy’ spoke to Pub Talk to discuss his fights, and eventually, the topic of Jake Paul came up. According to Paddy, Jake Paul could legitimately beat top professional boxers thanks to his training, funds, and work ethic, but he believes his fights have a big problem. “I think his fights are fixed,” the Brit claimed. Paddy Pimblett says Jake Paul rigged Anderson Silva fight When questioned about Jake Paul allegedly fixing fights, Pimblett explained that while he doesn’t think every match was rigged, some certainly were. “I don’t think the Tyron Woodley knockout was fixed because when you get knocked out like that and you land face first, if you’re not unconscious you’re going,” Paddy paused to stretch his arms out. “You can’t help it, that’s a human reaction.” (segment begins at 26:25) Jake Paul offers to spar Paddy Pimblett for $1 million Jake Paul has since issued his response to Pimblett’s claims, and even issued a sparring challenge toward the mixed martial artist to the tune of $1 million. “I’m sick and tired of this narrative,” Paul said. “It’s pathetic. It’s stupid. You’re disrespecting your own GOAT of your own sport. You’re saying that Anderson Silva is a criminal. You’re saying he’s a fraud.” “I have a proposition for you. Since you wouldn’t rig a fight, let’s spar. Fly to Puerto Rico. I’ll get you a private jet. We can do 5, three-minute rounds, boxing. If you win, I’ll give you a million dollars. …but if I win, you have to join the United Fighters Association and help me sign up all of the fighters in the UK.” Jake Paul was able to defeat Tyron Woodley twice, once by decision and the other by KO. And while Paddy thinks Jake won that match fair and square, he has doubts about his victory against Silva. “I seen an angle of a punch he hit Anderson Silva with the other day when he sat down, and he didn’t even hit him,” he explained. Paul was able to best The Spider by decision in his most-recent fight and even managed to score a late knockdown that sent the internet abuzz and it seems like this is what Paddy was referring to. As for if the UFC star will ever fight a YouTuber, he hasn’t ruled it out, calling the idea an “easy payday.” So, if Paul wants to prove his win was legitimate, he appears to have a ready opponent in the form of Paddy The Baddy.

UFC star Paddy Pimblett challenges Mark Zuckerberg to MMA showdown – Dexerto
UFC star Paddy Pimblett challenges Mark Zuckerberg to MMA showdown Instagram: Paddy Pimblett / Wikimedia CommonsAfter defeating Rodrigo Vargas at UFC Fight Night: Volkov vs. Aspinall, Paddy Pimblett challenged Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to a fight, calling him a bully and claiming he’d “punch his head in”. Paddy Pimblett is one of the biggest rising stars in UFC. Not only does he boast an impressive 18-3 professional record, but he’s also got the gift of the gab and is an impressive entertainer and performer to boot. Ever since he burst onto the scene back in September 2021, he’s been trying to entice Jake Paul to fight him. He also called out Logan Paul and boxing legend Mike Tyson, although he’s particularly keen on Jake. However, after making quick work of Rodrigo Vargas at UFC Fight Night: Volkov vs. Aspinall on March 19, he’s set his sights on a new target — Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, for allegedly shutting his Instagram account down. In the post-fight interview with Michael Bisping, Pimblett revealed what he plans to do next, saying: “I’ll probably rest and get a little bit fat. I did my LCL a few weeks ago, but I still got in here and subbed the man quick.” However, when he does jump back into the octagon, he wants to lay the smackdown on Mark Zuckerberg. “Who do I want to fight? Mark Zuckerberg! Lad, I’m going to punch your head in. I’m sick of you!” “I’m sick of you shutting my Instagram account down when all I do is help charities and help people with mental health problems,” he added. “You’re the biggest bully in the world!” At the time of writing, Paddy’s Instagram account is currently up with more than 250,000 followers, but that won’t stop the platform from taking it down again. The relevant part of the video begins at 1:57. The London crowd applauded him over the call-out, suggesting it’s something they’d love to see. However, the chances of it happening are, well, slim to put it lightly. On the other hand, if Pimblett’s meteoric rise in popularity keeps on growing, he could be on a collision course with Jake Paul or Logan Paul, which could earn him a massive paycheque — if they’re willing to bite.

UFC star Masvidal accuses Jake Paul of “trolling” with fake fight offers for big money – Dexerto
UFC star Masvidal accuses Jake Paul of “trolling” with fake fight offers for big money Instagram: JakePaul/GamebredFighterUFC’s Jorge ‘Gamebred’ Masvidal believes Jake Paul is “trolling the world” with some of the fight offers he throws, claiming he doesn’t have the cash to back them up. When Jake Paul first stepped into the boxing ranks, it was to settle scores with other YouTubers. Though, since defeating AnEsonGib and former NBA star Nate Robinson, he has gone on to face real fighters. Paul delivered a knockout win over Ben Askren back in April, which kicked his trash talk into a new gear. After that win, he set his targets for potential opponents a little higher, calling out the likes of Conor McGregor, Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, and Nate Diaz. In the case of McGregor, Paul claimed the Irish superstar could make $50 million if they squared off, half of what the UFC star got for fighting Floyd Mayweather. Though, Jorge Masvidal isn’t believing any of the offers he puts out there. The UFC Welterweight contender has been subject to some of Paul’s trash talk in the last few months as he comes off the back of two defeats in the Octagon. Speaking on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, Masvidal said the UFC doesn’t give a “flying f**k” about Paul and his offers, and that he makes more money inside the cage. “This guy talks a lot about ‘I’m going to write you a $50 million check,’ but go look at the pay-per-views that he’s selling. He ain’t writing nobody $50 million checks,” Gamebred said. “Go actually look at the f**king numbers that they actually sold on Showtime or on Triller or whatever thing he’s talking about. He doesn’t have that money. He’s trolling the whole world saying all these big-money deals.” Timestamp of 12:45 While the pair aren’t going to square off anytime soon, Masvidal admitted that he’d be open to fighting Jake when he’s done with the UFC. “When I am done beating up world-class fighters, this bum will still be around — I’ll go and collect a quick paycheck for hitting him so f**king hard in front of the whole world,” he added. Though, who knows when that’ll be.

UFC star Molly McCann sparks Conor McGregor vs Paddy Pimblett fight speculation – Dexerto
UFC star Molly McCann sparks Conor McGregor vs Paddy Pimblett fight speculation Molly McCann, Paddy Pimblett: Instagram / Andrius PetruceniaConor McGregor and Paddy Pimblett are meeting up soon and UFC star Molly McCann has sparked speculation about a potential fight between the two. Two Liverpudlians stole the show at UFC Fight Night London on July 23, as both Paddy and Meatball Molly picked up victories at the O2 arena. The Baddy sealed a stunning submission victory in round two against Jordan Leavitt, while Molly knocked out Hannah Goldy in the first round. Since then, the rumor mill has been turning with fans wondering who the two fighters have locked in their sights next. Paddy Pimblett vs Conor McGregor? Molly McCann fuels rumors On July 28, McCann gave the biggest hint yet that her fellow scouser is “penciled in” to face Conor McGregor. During an appearance on TalkSport Breakfast, she joined both Alan Brazil and Gabriel Agbonlahor to discuss her beloved Everton, but quickly the trio got onto the subject of MMA. After being asked about the possibility of McGregor vs Pimblett, she said: “Me and Paddy are actually going to Conor McGregor’s bar, his restaurant, on Saturday. “It’s one of our head coaches – Elis’ – birthday, so we’re all going to Dublin to have a weekend together. So, we’ll get that one [the fight] penciled in, shall we?” After that teaser, she said that Pimblett is more interested in pursuing title fights for the foreseeable future, rather than “super fights,” in relation to McGregor. While Meatball Molly says she doesn’t expect the two to clash “any time soon,” the 32-year-old admitted that when Conor is on the decline and Paddy has a few more victories under his belt, it could happen later down the line. Until then, UFC fans across the world will just have to wait and see.

UFC star Kamaru Usman laughs off boxing match with Jake Paul – Dexerto
UFC star Kamaru Usman laughs off boxing match with Jake Paul Kamaru Usman/Jake PaulUFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman has laughed off the idea of fighting Jake Paul during a fan Q&A at UFC 272, saying: “If we’re gonna fight [someone], we’re gonna fight a real fighter.” Kamaru Usman and Jake Paul have teased a potential fight multiple times now over the last year. The YouTuber-turned-fighter initiated the talks originally claiming Usman would, “make more money than you ever have” if he stepped into the boxing ring with Jake. Although a fight has never been agreed to, Jake continued to fan the flames saying a fight with Usman would be, “light work.” Now, Usman was asked directly his thoughts on fighting the YouTube star. Usman shoots down Jake Paul fight Usman was at a Q&A for UFC 272 when a fan asked him about his thoughts on boxing one day, and potentially squaring up against Jake Paul. The welterweight champ commanded the crowd to boo the question, “What? Boo this man one time!” Then, he scoffed at the thought of actually fighting Jake, “Listen, if we’re gonna fight, we’re gonna fight a real fighter. I’m gonna answer your question, if we’re gonna fight, we’ll fight a real fighter.” Time starts at 28:48 for mobile users Although the showdown could score a big payday for the UFC star, Usman doesn’t see Jake as a formidable fighter, despite his 5-0 record in the boxing world. Usman also has other fights on his mind, as he’s set to take on Leon Edwards in a defense of his title, as well as a showdown with Canelo Alvarez scheduled for September 2022.

UFC star Donald Cerrone threatens to “knock the sh*t” out of Andrew Tate – Dexerto
UFC star Donald Cerrone threatens to “knock the sh*t” out of Andrew Tate Twitter: CSTodaynews / YouTube: Piers Morgan UncensoredRetired UFC star Donald Cerrone has challenged Andrew Tate to a fight, claiming he’ll “knock the sh*t” out of the controversial online figure. Andrew Tate is currently under house arrest at his abode in Romania, awaiting trial on charges of human trafficking, rape, and organized criminal activity. Although Tate is best known for his controversial views on women and his presence as an internet commentator, he is also a retired professional kickboxer who was a four-time ISKA world champion in two weight divisions. Thus, Tate’s had a lot to say regarding the world of combat sports… but his comments on former UFC fighter Donald Cerrone have kicked up quite a commotion. Andrew Tate challenges Donald Cerrone In a recent podcast, Tate took aim at Cerrone over comments the fighter had made about him. “I’ve heard of him,” Tate said. “Didn’t McGregor finish him pretty quick?” “If he has a problem with me, come to my house,” he offered. “He knows where I am. Everyone knows where I am. Until then, I have no problems with anybody.” “If he thinks I can’t fight, and if he wants to tell it to my face and kick my ass, he’s welcome to try. And I strongly believe he would regret that decision.” Donald Cerrone offers fight to Andrew Tate Cerrone was quick to hit back at the former ‘King Cobra’ of kickboxing, despite being on vacation. In fact, the fighter offered to throw hands with Tate in a match, official or no, saying he’d “knock the sh*t” out of him. “Andrew Tate,” he began. “You got everyone calling and blowing my phone up while I’m out here on vacation, talking about allegations that you want to try and fight me,” he said. “Back in the day, when me and Joe Schilling always watched videos that he wanted to fight you, and you ran like a little girl your entire career, bro. Are you kidding me? I’ll knock the sh*t out of you.” Cerrone went on to offer him a bout in either the octagon or on the street once Tate’s legal troubles get resolved — but until that point, told him to “shut the f—k up, keep my name out of your mouth. Enjoy your cigars and trafficking women.” This latest confrontation follows Tate’s offer to spar with YouTube-boxer Jake Paul following his upcoming bout against MMA star Nate Diaz in August.

UFC star Kamaru Usman explains why Logan Paul should fight Tyron Woodley in MMA – Dexerto
UFC star Kamaru Usman explains why Logan Paul should fight Tyron Woodley in MMA YouTube: ImpaulsiveFormer UFC Welterweight champion Kamaru Usman has explained why he believes an MMA fight between Logan Paul and Tyron Woodley would actually be competitive, despite Woodley’s experience in the cage. Influencer crossover events have become increasingly common over the last few years, and it’s got a large part to do with the early work that both Jake and Logan Paul did early on. The Paul brothers have been across boxing, professional wrestling, and have continually teased getting involved in MMA. Jake has signed a contract with the PFL to make his debut in their Super Fights division, but when it comes to Logan, he’s been aiming a bit higher. Logan has gotten a bit of a green light from Dana White to fight in the UFC at some point – even though the UFC boss said it isn’t a priority for him. And, if it were to happen, former UFC champion Kamaru Usman wants to see Logan fight one of Jake’s rivals – Tyron Woodley. Kamaru Usman believes Logan Paul vs Tyron Woodley would be competitive in UFC That’s right, Usman is keen to see Logan step inside the octagon and face Woodley – and even believes it would be competitive, despite the latter having way more experience. “I don’t want to say destroy (him), but I do think Woodley wins, for sure. I mean, the fight on the feet and throwing hands, Woodley is a better wrestler – accolade-wise – but how much time are we giving them?” he said on the PBD Podcast. “It definitely makes things interesting. I wouldn’t say they’ll never go into MMA because I think they’re young enough and smart enough, business-wise, to say ‘if I’m going to make X amount of dollars, why not?’” As noted, there has been a little bit of interest from the UFC in having Logan involved, but it’s not exactly in the planning just yet. The imPaulsive host is currently the WWE United States Champion and has attended UFC events because of the merger between the two companies, so, you never know.

UFC star Colby Covington says Jake Paul won’t train with fighters who “make him look bad” – Dexerto
UFC star Colby Covington says Jake Paul won’t train with fighters who “make him look bad” Instagram/colbycovmma/JakepaulAs YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul prepares to battle former UFC champion Tyron Woodley, MMA star Colby Covington has given his prediction on the bout while exposing some secrets about The Problem Child. The boxing world has been taken over by Logan and Jake Paul in recent months, with the two brothers battling some of the best of all time in the ring, such as Floyd Mayweather – making serious money in the process. With Jake Paul frequently calling out big names like Conor McGregor to duke it out, it would seem like the younger brother isn’t afraid of anyone. But that’s not exactly the case, according to one UFC star. In a video highlighting multiple fighters’ opinions on the upcoming bout, Colby Covington expressed how he feels Jake isn’t as tough as he claims to be. “I’ve had some guys in my gym, Colby Covington Inc and MMA Masters, that have trained with Jake Paul in Miami. They’ve all kind of said the same information, that they went there, they exposed him, they made him look bad.” According to Colby, the cameras were turned off and no pictures were taken, so the evidence of Paul supposedly being bested doesn’t exist. “And they never invite these guys back because Jake ‘The Snake’ Paul only wants kids that he can beat up and knock out and boost his ego and his confidence,” the UFC fighter blasted. “He doesn’t want guys that are going to push him in the gym and make him better. Like we’ve said before, he’s not a real fighter. He’s a little Disney star.” As for the fight between Jake and Tyron, Colby is backing the latter. “I think Woodley can do it. I think he can land a knockout punch and get it done,” Covington predicted. It will be very interesting to see how Jake Paul responds to Covington’s claims. Knowing The Problem Child, he’s unlikely to take these statements lying down, so he may have a thing or two to say in the weeks ahead.

UFC star reveals she’s been blocked from walking out in cosplay – Dexerto
UFC star reveals she’s been blocked from walking out in cosplay Polyana Viana/InstagramBrazilian strawweight and UFC star Polyana Viana says she’d like to do cosplay walkouts but the UFC won’t allow it. Polyana Viana returns to the octagon this weekend for UFC on ESPN 51, where she’ll face off against Iasmin Lucindo at Las Vegas’ UFC Apex. The bout’s set for Saturday, August 12, and will be aired on ESPN and the streaming service ESPN+. In addition to her prowess at mixed martial arts, Viana is also well known for cosplaying some of her favorite anime characters. Every so often, the strawweight shares photos of these cosplay endeavors on Instagram, one of which shows her decked out in garb inspired by Naruto’s Konan. While Viana would like to see the two worlds collide, she recently revealed that UFC has strict rules when it comes to walkouts. UFC star says cosplay walkouts are prohibited When asked by MMA Junkie if she’d consider walking out wearing cosplay if it was allowed, Viana revealed that she’s actually asked to do so several times in the past. Viana told the reporter through an interpreter, “I’ve tried so many times, and I’ve actually asked to come in with a bandana. They’ve never allowed it. I wanted a cape… I’ve tried with like a blank bandana. I can’t. Apparently, Naruto is a brand that does not allow it or something like that. I’ve tried so many times. I’ve asked. They never let me do it, but if I could, definitely I would.” The brief anime discussion begins around the 4:25 timestamp in the video linked below (via MMA Junkie): It’s unfortunate that the organization’s rules prevent the UFC star from living out her anime cosplay dreams. But she’d probably be at home in the wrestling world, given how often WWE and AEW fighters dress up as their favorite pop culture characters. Jade Cargill famously dressed up as She-Hulk for AEW All Out 2022. Cargill’s also known for entering the arena in attire inspired by Jade from Mortal Kombat. And WWE’s Tommaso Ciampa brought Kratos to the ring for Halloween a couple of years ago.

UFC star Paddy Pimblett claims Jake Paul “wouldn’t have the balls” to fight in MMA – Dexerto
UFC star Paddy Pimblett claims Jake Paul “wouldn’t have the balls” to fight in MMA IG: Jake Paul / YouTube: Have A WordUFC star Paddy Pimblett took another swipe at Jake Paul, claiming the YouTuber-turned-boxer “wouldn’t have the balls” to fight MMA because he knows he’ll get starched in the octagon. Pimblett admitted he’d love to fight Jake Paul on two separate occasions. The first instance happened in September 2021 after he called Jake a “sausage” and said he’d fight him tomorrow, regardless of the code. Then, after seeing Jake express an interest in doing MMA, he challenged him again on February 14, saying: “If you want to have an MMA fight, I’ll fight you in my ma’s garden tomorrow.” However, during an interview on the ‘Have A Word’ podcast, Pimblett claimed Jake “wouldn’t have the balls” to fight in the octagon and compared him to AEW wrestler CM Punk, who failed to impress in the UFC. In response to a question about whether he’s worried that combat sports are becoming too “cartoon-like” because of people like Jake Paul, Pimblett shrugged it off: “The UFC will never get like that, so no.” He also claimed Jake would never fight in the UFC. “He wouldn’t have the balls to,” he said. “He’d get offered it, but he’d turn it down. He’d never fight in the UFC because he knows he’ll get his head punched right in.” Pimblett believes if Jake were to fight in the UFC, it would play out a lot like CM Punk’s brief stint in the octagon, which ended with a loss and a no-contest. “He was a f**king crab. He got absolutely pasted in both fights.” However, he’s willing to box against him instead, claiming he’d accept an offer in a “heartbeat” and would “punch his face in.” He also said if Jake ever mocked him in person, he’d “put him right on his toes.” Pimblett slammed Jake for ‘pretending’ to care about fighter pay too. “He’s going on about UFC fighter pay like he’s trying to help fighters. He’s not,” he stated. “He’s just doing it to try and make a c*nt out of Dana. “That’s all he’s doing it for. To try and make Dana look bad so he can have a back and forth with Dana. It’s nothing to do with the fighters and helping the fighters. “He’s trying to take the p*ss out of Dana and it’s not working.”

UFC star Colby Covington says Jake Paul “has no honor” but still wants to fight him – Dexerto
UFC star Colby Covington says Jake Paul “has no honor” but still wants to fight him Amanda Westcott, SHOWTIME / YouTube: FULL SEND PODCASTMMA star Colby Covington has called out YouTube boxer Jake Paul, saying he’s interested in a fight with the Problem Child despite the influencer’s lack of “honor.” YouTube group ‘the NELK Boys’ sat down with American mixed martial artist Colby Covington to bend his ear on his time in the UFC — as well as his opinions on the world of influencer boxing. This interview was recorded before Covington’s restaurant scrap with fellow UFC fighter Jorge Masvidal weeks after their UFC 272 bout on March 5, where Covington notably took home the win. Covington later pressed charges against Masvidal, stating he’d suffered a broken tooth, an abrasion on his wrist, and $15,000 of damages to his $90k Rolex wristwatch as a result of the scuffle. ARREST: MBPD Detectives have arrested and charged Jorge Masvidal with: – Aggravated Battery w/Mask – Felony Criminal MischiefSee reports and booking photo below for more details. pic.twitter.com/OkW6LbZQHn — Miami Beach Police (@MiamiBeachPD) March 24, 2022 Jake Paul compared the incident to Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars. As of yet, Rock has not pressed charges against Will for the on-screen assault. “Chris Rock didn’t press charges but Colby Covington did lol,” he wrote in a scathing Tweet. “Just shows how much of a p**sy Colby is. Make Fighters Not Soft Again.” Chris Rock didn’t press charges but Colby Covington did lol. Just shows how much of a pussy Colby is. Make Fighters Not Soft Again. — Jake Paul (@jakepaul) March 28, 2022 Colby Covington claims Jake Paul “has no honor.” However, it looks like Covington was interested in taking on the Problem Child before he aired his opinion to social media, as told in his interview with the NELK Boys recorded prior to the March 28 tweet. “He wouldn’t want to fight me,” Covington said. “He doesn’t want to fight a real fighter. He wants to look for guys that are washed up and past their time. He doesn’t want to fight a young, hungry lion like me. …I’d be interested (in fighting Paul), but he’s not gonna be interested.” That’s not all; Covington even claimed that Paul had, at one point, tried to train with him before Jake changed his tune to spar with Jorge, instead. “He was trying to play buddy-buddy with me,” he added. “He was hitting me up in the DMs after I beat Woodley, and he was like, ‘Oh, yo bro, we should train sometime in Miami, blah, blah, blah.’ ” “But then he started training with Jorge and you saw how that got sour, and he kinda turned his back and kinda threw him under the bus… The guy has no integrity. He has no honor. I can’t respect someone like that.” Thus far, Paul has yet to respond to Covington’s interests in a possible bout — but Jake recently announced another fight sometime on the horizon, and with an opponent as yet unannounced, anything is possible.

UFC legend wants Jake Paul fight next & will put his entire paycheck on the line – Dexerto
UFC legend wants Jake Paul fight next & will put his entire paycheck on the line Wade PlemUFC legend Luke Rockhold is eager to take on Jake Paul as his next boxing opponent, and he’d even do it while putting his entire payday on the line. Since stepping into the world of boxing, Jake Paul has been challenged by fighters from all different walks of life. Upcoming boxers, former world champions, and celebrities looking to get their first start inside the ring have all called him out at some point or another. However, Tommy Fury aside, his boxing record has been made up of former MMA fighters who are making the move over from fighting inside a cage. Most recently, he defeated Nate Diaz by a unanimous decision, and the pair have talked about doing a return fight inside the PFL cage. However, there are some other interesting names out there who want to mix it up with Jake. Luke Rockhold wants to fight Jake Paul That includes former UFC Light Heavyweight and Middleweight champion Luke Rockhold wants in on fighting Jake Paul now that he’s moved on from the MMA promotion. Rockhold, who has tried his hand in the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, is even willing to up the stakes with Jake by putting his entire payday on the line. “I’d thrive in that opportunity, I’d all but promise you that I put this kid to sleep and I put my whole paycheck on it but he doesn’t want to challenge himself against a real fighter. Someone who is gonna bite down and put it down you know,” he told MMA journalist Chamatkar Sandhu. “It’s like with boxing, it’s yeah I mean he did fight Tommy Fury but Tommy Fury ain’t like a legitimate boxer trying to go up the ranks, he’s just doing those show fights, trying to stay relevant in his space but he ain’t a killer.” Timestamp of 20:45 As of writing, Jake’s next fight hasn’t been announced just yet, with plenty of attention on his brother, Logan, who is fighting on the PRIME Card on October 14. Jake does have a contract with the PFL for an MMA fight, so, that may take precedence over a return to the boxing ring. But, we’ll have to wait and see.

UFC legend reveals who Jake Paul will likely fight in MMA debut – Dexerto
UFC legend reveals who Jake Paul will likely fight in MMA debut Instagram/JakepaulYouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul is teasing his long-awaited MMA debut, but his opponent could be quite obvious according to a former UFC fighter. Jake Paul has taken the combat sports world by storm. In five fights, The Problem Child has won every one and even knocked out former UFC champion Tyron Woodley in their rematch. While the YouTuber has his sights set on Anderson Silva the next time he enters the ring, Jake has been quite adamant about wanting to get involved in MMA and says he has an announcement “coming soon.” So far, he has yet to unveil his plans for MMA, but according to former UFC fighter Chael Sonnen, if you connect some dots, his choice in opponent becomes rather clear. Chael Sonnen says Jake Paul could fight Dillon Danis in MMA In a YouTube video, Sonnen referenced how Paul does his boxing on Showtime and there’s a very interesting relationship that the network has with a certain MMA promotion. “Showtime hosts Bellator,” Sonnen explained. “It’s the same people. The same people Jake is working with, for marketing, for PR, for production with boxing, are the same folks at Showtime that also represent Bellator.” According to Sonnen, the perfect opponent for Jake would be Dillon Danis as he is under contract with Bellator. Given the bad blood history between Paul and Danis, the fight could very well end up doing some big numbers for the promotion. It’s also important to note that Bellator has been interested in Jake and his brother Logan for quite some time, so it’s certainly likely that there have been talks to bring them on board. We’ll have to wait and see what the future holds, but it’s likely that any announcement from Jake will come after his anticipated match against Anderson Silva later this month.

The influencer boxing trend is taking over the internet. Initially sparked by Joe Weller and KSI in 2018, it was KSI’s rivalry with Logan Paul that brought it into the limelight a few months later. Now, everyone and their mother is trying to get in on the hype, as seen at the Battle of the Platforms ‘YouTubers vs TikTokers’ boxing event in June, where Bryce Hall notably lost his bout to Austin McBroom on the main event of the evening. However, that doesn’t seem to have dampened his spirits one bit, as the Sway House star was seen touching gloves with Brazilian mixed martial artist Vitor Belfort in a series of explosive videos. View this post on Instagram On July 27, sparring footage of the two was shared to TikTok by TheSyncUp — and it doesn’t look like Hall could hang with a fighter who is one of the most prolific knockout artists in UFC history. The clip shows Hall taking a few body blows from Vitor before falling into the fetal position, audibly groaning in pain. Instagram stories of their sparring session were also shared to Instagram by a user named ‘stoprory,’ who tagged Triller in one of his clips. This tag is quite interesting, as it was reported on July 27 that Triller and Belfort are in talks for a multi-fight deal. Triller Fight Club also promoted the Jake Paul vs Ben Askren fight in April, so it wouldn’t come as a major surprise if Hall — another big influencer — is involved in some way. This also follows talks between Vitor and YouTuber Tarzann in June, after the two got into an altercation at a gym. For now, it looks like Vitor is rumored to take on American professional boxer Evander Holyfield — as well as MMA legend Anderson Silva, who is reportedly in talks with Logan Paul. Belfort also expressed a desire to fight both Paul brothers in the past. It seems that influencers are becoming more and more interested in the world of combat sports, and only time will tell if their involvement will change the game.

UFC legend Michael Bisping falls for oldest streaming trick in the book – Dexerto
UFC legend Michael Bisping falls for oldest streaming trick in the book Youtube: Michael BispingOne stream viewer successfully trolled former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping with the classic ALT-F4 trick. Despite UFC fighters being known as some of the “baddest men on the planet,” one fan had no fear about trolling Bisping from the safety of his stream chat. Trolling the former champion and UFC legend Michael Bisping as he livestreamed his thoughts on the upcoming Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou fight, the viewer fooled him expertly with the classic ALT-F4 trick. UFC champ Michael Bisping trolled with ALT-F4 trap Michael Bisping was streaming on YouTube, screensharing a tab on his computer when he fell for the trap: “Press alt, and f4, to fix volume,” one viewer told Michael. The UFC legend pressed the key combination and reacted as the video he was watching shut down: “You pr*ck, what have you done to me. […] You’ve f**ked it for everyone lad.” However, fans were impressed with Michael Bisping’s jovial attitude to being trolled and the inconvenience it caused, calling him a “tremendous sport about being trolled lol,” as Bisping laughed it off: “You f**king pr*ck. Oh well, fair play to you, fair play to you.” UFC is a mixed-martial-arts organization known for hosting some of the most thrilling fights in the combat sports industry, producing mega-stars like Conor McGregor and Jon Jones – who had to pull out of his fight with Stipe Miocic after he suffered a severe pec tendon tear. Their fighters often become bonafide celebrities too though, and so it’s no surprise some of them have moved into online content creation too. UFC has also been trending recently for the release of their new gaming installment, UFC 5, which features some iconic fighters in its roster like Conor McGregor and Bruce Lee.

UFC legend Nate Diaz slams Jake Paul’s “sh*thead family” after meeting his dad – Dexerto
UFC legend Nate Diaz slams Jake Paul’s “sh*thead family” after meeting his dad Twitter/NateDiaz209/Instagram/JakePaulUFC icon Nate Diaz escalated his feud with YouTuber Jake Paul after meeting the boxer’s father in person. The rivalry between Nate Diaz and Jake Paul has reached a new level. After months of callouts and Paul joining MMA org PFL, it’s clear there’s no love lost between the two. While a bout between Diaz and Paul has yet to be made official, on January 14, the MMA legend met with the influencer’s dad, Greg, at an arena where he made it known he was a fan of his. “Dude, I admire the f**k out of you!” he praised. “And I love the way you fight, everything about you. And hopefully, you’re going to be fighting Jake. I just wanted to tell you, we watch you and I love your fight style. It’s an honor to say hey to you.” Despite the well-wishes, however, things soon turned south when Diaz posted a video of the interaction on Twitter and intercut some other comments that Paul’s dad has made about him that run contrary to the “respect” he showed earlier. Nate Diaz calls out Jake & Logan Paul’s “sh*thead” family In the past, Jake’s dad has been vocal about his son’s fighting potential and even claimed that the boxer would be able to KO the UFC star. “Jake would knock the piss out of Nate Diaz,” he said during a podcast appearance. “Nate Diaz is a punk. His record is mediocre.” These remarks didn’t sit well with Diaz who tagged both Jake and Logan in the video and captioned it, “[apple] doesn’t fall to far from the tree. The sh*thead family.” So far, neither Jake nor Logan has responded to the diss, but hopefully, a match between the two can still be made despite their father rubbing Diaz the wrong way.

UFC legend Michael Bisping eager for Jake Paul fight: “Sign me up!” – Dexerto
UFC legend Michael Bisping eager for Jake Paul fight: “Sign me up!” YouTube: Michael Bisping/Jake PaulUFC legend Michael Bisping is down to fight Jake Paul if offered, but the Brit does have some medical hurdles to overcome which could impact things. Since Jake Paul knocked out Tyron Woodley in their rematch at the end of 2021, plenty of questions have been asked about who the YouTuber-turned-boxer will square off against next. A few fighters have thrown their hats into the ring – including former middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr and current Cruiserweight champion Mairis Briedis – while Tommy Fury is still eager to settle his score with Jake. The YouTuber has stated that he is open to fighting a “real boxer,” after taking down MMA stars like Woodley and Ben Askren. However, UFC icon Michael Bisping would also be open to taking on the social media star, if he can overcome some medical hurdles. The former UFC Middleweight champion, who has reportedly been in negotiations with Jake for a fight previously, has a long-standing eye injury that could prevent him from being in action again. However, during his February 20th YouTube stream, ‘The Count’ seemed eager to make it happen if the YouTuber comes back to the table. “I don’t really think I want to fight again. I would do one of these boxing events,” Bisping said, stating his body “wouldn’t get through” an MMA fight. “I would do a boxing fight. And, Jake Paul made an offer a while ago. If he did it again and he wanted to do it on some kind of Indian tribal ground where there’s no athletic commission, sign me up. If he wanted to do it in Saudi Arabia where there’s no athletic commission, sign me up. If you want to do it anywhere where they’ll let me fight without checking my eyeballs, sign me up!” Timestamp of 1:14:00 While Bisping’s wife was quick to dismiss the chances of it happening, the former UFC champ reiterated that it could happen, it would just take having the right venue. As noted, Jake has stated his desire to silence the critics and fight a “real boxer” once he returns to the ring later this year. But, a fight with Bisping would draw significant attention, so it is one to consider.

UFC legend Michael Bisping explains why Jake Paul will beat Tommy Fury – Dexerto
UFC legend Michael Bisping explains why Jake Paul will beat Tommy Fury Instagram/JakePaul/MichaelBisping/TommyFuryFormer UFC champion Michael Bisping has given his shocking prediction for the upcoming fight between YouTuber Jake Paul and boxer Tommy Fury. The fight between Fury and Paul seems to be set for December with both combatants aiming to end the other’s perfect records in the ring. After months of build-up and doubts over whether such a fight would even get off the ground, it was reported that the slugfest would take place on December 18, 2021, in Miami, Florida. Now, UFC legend Michael Bisping has weighed in on the fight and predicts Fury will be in for his biggest challenge yet against The Problem Child. Bisping says Tommy Fury will “struggle” against Jake Paul “Tommy Fury struggled against Anthony Taylor. If he struggled against Anthony Taylor, he’s going to struggle against Jake Paul. That’s just my two cents,” Bisping revealed. “And I believe that he loses and I believe that he changes his name to Tommy Fumbles,” he added, referencing the bizarre bet Paul made with the boxing star. Fury’s last fight took place on the same card where Paul scored a split-decision win against Tyron Woodley and didn’t look too good. While Bisping noted that not every fight is going to be someone’s best, the old saying of a fighter only being as good as their last fight is a good way to judge where they are and that’s why he thinks Paul will take it. Michael Bisping praises Jake Paul for helping boxing Just as others such as Mike Tyron and Anderson Silva supported Jake and brother Logan for spicing up boxing, Bisping did the same. Read More: Will Jake & Logan Paul move to MMA? – “Jake Paul isn’t just a YouTuber. He’s a boxer now. He’s still a YouTuber, but he’s also a boxer. Just because you discover your love for the sweet science later in life doesn’t mean you have to be labeled a YouTuber your entire life,” Bisping explained. “The reality is, Jake Paul’s doing a great thing in the boxing world,” he said. “Jake Paul’s bringing a lot of attention, a lot of eyes to the boxing world.” We’ll have to see if Bisping’s prediction holds true as the bout between the YouTuber and Love Island star draws closer.

UFC legend Michael Bisping accepts Jake Paul fight offer, but there’s a catch – Dexerto
UFC legend Michael Bisping accepts Jake Paul fight offer, but there’s a catch YouTube: Michael Bisping/Instagram: Jake PaulUFC legend Michael Bisping is happy to fight Jake Paul in a boxing match, but wants to do it on his terms – which includes giving him a few months to get back in the gym. After a brief hiatus from strapping on the gloves, Jake Paul will be returning to the boxing ring in August. The 25-year-old, who is currently undefeated, wants an opponent who can match him when it comes to name value and pay-per-view buys. As such, he’s laid out a ‘hit list’ of opponents who would fit the bill for his return fight, and that includes Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather, Oscar De La Hoya, and even UFC icon Michael Bisping. The Count, who last fought in the Octagon back in 2017, has been open to Jake’s advances in the past, and the pair have traded plenty of trash talk. However, if he’s going to switch to boxing, he’d need to do it on his terms. Bisping sniped back at Jake’s ‘hit list’ on Twitter, but dove further into things in an April 16 video, where he once again registered his interest in fighting the YouTuber-turned-boxer. “Do I want to fight Jake Paul? Listen, I had a great career, I’m very happy with what I accomplished. I’m happily retired. I’m very, very happily retired, but I do miss the thrill of competition. And I don’t see Jake Paul as necessarily a threat,” Bisping, noting that his long-standing eye injury is still a hurdle to overcome for him to return. “Jake Paul, beating you up sounds like fun. Of course, you are a big star. And God bless, well done to you. I’m not hating. You’ve done great things, you’re earning a lot of money, you’re a big star, you’re getting a lot of pay-per-views. And so for that reason, I probably would. I probably would.” The UFC legend added that he’s had offers from Jake before, but a fight didn’t materialize between the pair. Timestamp of 5:15 The Brit added that he would “oblige” Jake’s fight offer, but he’d need time to lose a bit of weight first. “It sounds like fun. It gives me a reason to train, to get in shape. Give me a few months to lose a couple of pounds, and let’s go, baby. No problem,” he concluded. As noted, Bisping has been open to fight Jake before, but would need a commission that is willing to sign off on him fighting with his injury history. So, who knows if he’ll be Jake’s opponent in August.

UFC legend explains why Mike Tyson will “flatline” Logan Paul in boxing match – Dexerto
UFC legend explains why Mike Tyson will “flatline” Logan Paul in boxing match YouTube/Michael Bisping/Instagram/miketyson/loganpaulWith reports claiming that boxing icon Mike Tyson could face off against YouTuber-turned-fighter Logan Paul, UFC legend Michael Bisping explained why Iron Mike will annihilate The Maverick. Logan Paul’s boxing career hasn’t been as glorious as younger brother Jake’s 4-0 start thus far. Of his three matches, he lost to KSI, and his bout with Floyd Mayweather had no winner declared. Now, it’s looking like he’ll be facing off against another one of boxing’s GOATs in the form of Mike Tyson – and while the fight could be a must-watch, some believe Logan is biting off more than he can chew. And we’re not talking about ears. According to UFC star Michael Bisping, Logan Paul could be in for a world of pain if he steps into the ring with Tyson. Michael Bisping warns Logan Paul about fighting Mike Tyson In a YouTube video, the UFC commentator stressed how he respects both Logan and Jake for what they’ve done for boxing in recent years, but noted that fighting Tyson could be very dangerous. Bisping says that even in Tyson’s last exhibition match against Roy Jones JR, he still looked great and still packs a punch. “I have concerns about Logan Paul. I think Logan Paul might get knocked the f**k out in this!” he exclaimed. “In exhibition bouts you’re not supposed to go for the knockout, but do you really see any world that you can imagine where Mike Tyson isn’t going to try and knock out Logan Paul?” UFC icon predicts Mike Tyson will send Logan Paul to the hospital The UFC legend added that during Logan Paul’s exhibition fight against Floyd Mayweather, he looked tired after just three rounds… and that could be a bad thing in a contest against Tyson, who won’t let the match go to a decision. “Logan is tall, you know? He’s long. He’s kinda a big guy. He’s athletic. He’s got a great physique. Jake Paul is by far the better boxer I would say,” Bisping added. “If I had to pick who was better, then I’d say Jake Paul’s way better. Logan, he has some skills. He can certainly punch and as I say, he’s big and he’s athletic and he’ll learn from the fight against Floyd and maybe he’ll learn to magic his gas tank a bit better.” That said, Bisping still thinks Tyson is not a man to be messed with. “I don’t see Mike Tyson going out there and absolutely flatlining him,” he explained. “He’ll find the mark at some point. Logan probably has a speed advantage, maybe because Tyson’s 55. But the power Tyson possesses is almost second to none.” To end the video, Bisping predicted that a fight between the two will end with Mike knocking Logan Paul unconscious after getting him in the corner and will end up sending the YouTuber to the hospital. We’ll have to wait and see if his prediction comes true, but one thing is for sure: Even if someone is KO’d, they’d both be big winners with how much money the bout will make.

UFC legend Michael Bisping accepts Jake Paul fight, but there’s a big problem – Dexerto
UFC legend Michael Bisping accepts Jake Paul fight, but there’s a big problem Amanda Wescott/SHOWTIME/Instagram/mikebispingFormer UFC champion Michael Bisping is ready to take on upstart boxer Jake Paul, but there is a big problem getting in the way for the two to step into the ring. The beef between Bisping and Paul has been going on for sometime, with the YouTuber even threatening to “swallow his eyeball” if they fought – a reference to the MMA star’s eye issues. With a potential bout between the two in the cards as both agreed to battle it out, Paul told Bisping that he would require to get licensed in order to make the fight actually happen. On April 19, Bisping uploaded a video sent to him by the Alberta, Canada-based Tsuut’ina combative commission, which gave him permission to fight. The thing is, Paul has some issues with the terms. Jake Paul slams Michael Bisping despite securing fight As reported by The Mirror, Tsuut’ina combative commission are an Indian reserve that sanctions professional fights and suggested Bisping fight Paul there, as fights in those areas are not sanctioned by state commissions. According to Bisping, the Tsuut’ina combative commission said they would host the fight and commission him despite only having one eye. After posting a video the commission had sent him to Twitter and tagging Jake Paul, The Problem Child responded and seemed to cast doubt on the fight even happening. .@Bisping post legal confirmation that you are not under UFC contract and I will get you a contract. You retired in 2017 and Dana still got you by the balls. And we fight where I tell you we fight. — Jake Paul (@jakepaul) April 20, 2022 “Post legal confirmation that you are not under UFC contract and I will get you a contract,” he demanded. “You retired in 2017 and Dana still got you by the balls.” However, Paul further stated, “ we fight where I tell you we fight” suggesting that fighting in Canada would be out of the question – which could put the match in jeopardy. So far, Bisping hasn’t replied to Paul’s demands publicly, but it’s anyone’s guess if the two can reach an agreement privately and get a fight scheduled for August when Jake plans to make his return to the ring.

UFC legend Demetrious Johnson explains why Jake Paul will beat Ben Askren – Dexerto
UFC legend Demetrious Johnson explains why Jake Paul will beat Ben Askren Instagram: Mighty/Jake PaulMixed martial arts legend Demetrious ‘Mighty Mouse’ Johnson has given his thoughts on the upcoming Jake Paul and Ben Askren fight, and believes the YouTuber has the knockout power to take down his former UFC alum. YouTubers have been stepping into the boxing ring for years in order to settle their beefs, but, the Paul brothers have gone above and beyond. The pair of them have had professional bouts, with Jake Paul moving away from fighting fellow content creators and focusing on actual athletes. He delivered a knockout against former NBA journeyman Nate Robinson that was meme’d around the world, and now he’s preparing to fight former UFC fighter Ben Askren. Plenty of predictions have been made about the fight, with Joe Rogan backing Paul and UFC boss Dana White betting $1 million on Askren. Now, UFC icon Demetrious ‘Mighty Mouse’ Johnson has given his take on things and while he believes it’s an entertaining prospect, he thinks Paul is dangerous in the ring. “When Jake Paul and Ben Askren fight I think it’s gonna be a great fight. I think Jake is gonna give it to him,” the former UFC champion told Dexerto. “I feel like he’s more crisper on the fight, even though he’s never been a champion. He’s displayed he has knockout power. I’m looking forward to the fight, I’m excited about it.” Like many, Mighty Mouse noted that getting people like the Paul’s involvement in boxing is a good thing, given how many eyes it puts on the sport. “At the end of the day, you know, he’s probably selling more PPVs than some of the champions around the world. At the end of the day, it’s good for the sport,” he said. Touching further on Askren’s involvement, the Flyweight superstar said it’s a “fun fight” for him to get involved with and make some money from as he only has to focus on striking, not multiple disciplines. “He’s just got done being retired, he had a shot at the UFC. S**t, why not box? Why not box a YouTube star. He’s displayed he can be dangerous, but he’s not going to have to worry about a flying knee to his face,” he said. While plenty are backing Paul, the final result will come in the ring on April 17, and it remains to be seen if he’ll live up to the pre-fight predictions.

UFC legend explains how Jake Paul vs Nate Diaz can finally happen – Dexerto
UFC legend explains how Jake Paul vs Nate Diaz can finally happen Jake Paul / Nate Diaz InstagramUFC legend Chael Sonnen thinks a boxing match between Jake Paul and Nate Diaz is still possible and cites Floyd Mayweather vs Connor McGregor as a template to finally make it happen. It’s believed that Diaz only has one fight left in his contract and it’s not likely that a Paul vs Diaz matchup will come anytime soon due to the latter being exclusive to the UFC. But that’s where Sonnen thinks Dana White could capitalize on Diaz’s contract to not only bid the 36-year-old a farewell from the UFC but to create a new pathway of entertainment with YouTube boxing. “If you’ve sat down and asked Dana, instead of separating and parting ways, can we do this together?” Sonnen said. Paul has locked in a multi-fight deal with Showtime and has been vocal about stepping into the ring with Diaz – though it isn’t likely that the fight could happen. This is where Sonnen likes to think Dana could bend the rules again to create a promotional event with Showtime similar to Mayweather vs McGregor. At the time, McGregor was still in his UFC contract and was adamant a fight between the two action sports legends wouldn’t be possible. Dana would eventually cooperate with the proceedings since he “would never keep Connor from making that kind of money.” “[A UFC fighter’s] contract and that [exclusivity] clause is very binding,” Sonnen said. “But if you can get the meeting, why try to exclude Dana? “Does Dana go and try do business without you? Then why would you want to do it without him? Why not include him? At least have the conversation and say: “Can we go and do this together?” Read more: How much money do YouTubers make? – The YouTuber-turned-boxer has been attracting attention from all sorts of candidates for his next fight. A potential bout between Jake Paul and Tommy Fury has been rumored but nothing has been confirmed so far. At the time, Dana said the McGregor vs Mayweather fight “doesn’t make a lot of sense for my business.” But Sonnen thinks the UFC boss could get on board with Diaz vs Paul similar to The Money Fight in 2017.

UFC legend Anderson Silva wants to fight Jake or Logan Paul – Dexerto
UFC legend Anderson Silva wants to fight Jake or Logan Paul Instagram/LoganPaul/spiderandersonsilva/JakePaulUFC icon Anderson Silva is planning to retire by the time he’s 50, meaning the former champion only has three years left to fight – and wants to take on either Jake or Logan Paul before hanging up the gloves. Silva is one of the most popular UFC fighters of all time and one of MMA’s most dominant. While he has since transitioned back to boxing, his star power gained in the UFC has eyes on him. Speaking with TMZ, Silva revealed that he plans to have his last match when he’s 49-years-old. Considering he’s 46 now, the former Middleweight Champion has just about three years left. And he wants to make the most of them. When asked about his thoughts about a possible fight with YouTuber Jake Paul, who just emerged victorious against Tyron Woodley, Silva was very open to the idea. “Everything is possible. Jake Paul and Logan are doing a lot of good work in this new entertaining show. We’ll see,” the Brazilian fighting legend replied, praising the influencers-turned-fighters. “I respect both. [Jake] is doing good, working hard. So, we’ll see, maybe this is possible too,” he added. The possibility of a Logan vs Silva fight, in particular, has been brought up before with the two supposedly in talks back in July. Anderson’s coach even accused Logan of “hiding” under Exhibition Rules to avoid defeat following his draw against Floyd Mayweather. Whether or not Silva ends up going up against Jake or Logan remains to be seen, but it’s clear that fighting either of the brothers is something he wants to do. Hopefully, we end up getting the match before the Spider finally decides to call it quits.

UFC legend Daniel Cormier urges Jake Paul to fight Anderson Silva – Dexerto
UFC legend Daniel Cormier urges Jake Paul to fight Anderson Silva IG: Anderson Silva / Jake PaulUFC legend and commentator Daniel Cormier urged Jake Paul to fight Anderson Silva instead of Michael Bisping, claiming the former UFC Middleweight Champion “fits the mold” better. On April 16, Jake Paul pitched a $1 million fight offer to Michael Bisping after trading blows on social media. He accepted it, but with one small catch — he’d need enough time to lose a bit of weight before it happens. However, Cormier, who is good friends with Bisping and commentates alongside him, urged Jake to fight Anderson Silva instead because he “fits the mold” better and believes beating him is a way for Jake to “prove” himself. “You want an older guy to fight?” he said. “There’s a former UFC champion that is doing exactly what you’re doing. His name’s Anderson Silva. That’s who you should be fighting, Jake. That’s who you should be calling out!” Cormier explained that he still “fits the mold” because he’s a former UFC champ, an amateur boxer who has fought around five times in the boxing ring, and is roughly the same size, although considerably older. “You should be calling out Anderson, not Michael Bisping. That’s the fight. Not only does that fight fit the mold of what you’re doing, that fight actually gives us some idea of what this thing is that you’re trying to do or portray.” “If you really want to show the world, if you really want to prove that this is a second career for Jake Paul, fight Anderson Silva. That’s fun because Anderson Silva is still an amateur boxer, but he’s still training, and he’s still fit.” Of course, that doesn’t mean Cormier wouldn’t subscribe to seeing Bisping and Paul fight. He claimed Bisping would be able to push Jake to a place that other fighters haven’t been able to do in his previous fights. Still, he thinks Silva is a better fit. “If Jake Paul wants to be considered real and Jake Paul wants to be an actual fighter, you’ve gotta fight somebody that is more in the game. And that person to me is Anderson Silva.”

UFC Fighter Suggests Surprising First Opponent for Logan Paul’s UFC Debut – Dexerto
UFC Fighter Suggests Surprising First Opponent for Logan Paul’s UFC Debut @KSI, InstagramLogan Paul has revealed his ambitions of taking MMA seriously, even fighting in the UFC, and lightweight fighter Michael Chiesa has suggested a possible debut opponent – although not who you might expect. Following his draw with fellow YouTuber KSI in the much anticipated boxing match on August 25, Logan made it clear that his fighting ambitions were only just getting started. A former wrestler, he actually initially wanted to fight KSI in an MMA bout, but KSI refused, so Logan is now turning his attention to the UFC. Fights with amateurs have been put on by the UFC before, provided they are big enough names to attract pay-per-view purchases, and Logan Paul certainly ticks that box, thanks to his massive YouTube following. Michael Chiesa, who fights in the UFC’s lightweight division saw Logan’s announcement that he wanted to take on the MMA world, and made a surprising suggestion about who is debut opponent should be. Chiesa reckons that top female fighter Cris Cyborg would be a suitable opponent for the YouTube star. Brendan Schaub Explains Why the UFC Can Learn from the KSI vs Logan Fight Whether a male vs female bout would actually be allowed is another matter of course, and it is unlikely that the UFC would approve of it. But given the massive attention and hype that the KSI vs Logan Paul fight managed to drum up, the UFC will no doubt be at the very least considering the possibility of having Paul make his debut, even for the PPV sales alone.

UFC fighter cringes while reliving brutal knockout from Anthony Pettis – Dexerto
UFC fighter cringes while reliving brutal knockout from Anthony Pettis ESPN / wonderboymma (Instagram)UFC superstar Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson looked back at his brutal Fight Night 148 knockout at the hands of Anthony Pettis during a Twitch broadcast. The UFC boasts an extensive roster of some of the most gifted mixed martial artists in the world, showcasing their talents in front of millions. Fighters at the highest level often come into fights sporting a bloodthirsty mantra, in a bid to scaremonger their opponent before they even step foot in the octagon. Indeed, the stakes were just as high as both Thompson and Pettis were set to lock horns as two of the best Welterweight strikers in the division. It was always a matter of when (not if) we’d see either fighter land a devastating blow. Given Thompson’s proficiency in karate and Pettis’ knack at taekwondo, plenty assumed it would be a kick that’d turn the tide in either fighter’s favor. Although it ended up being an audacious superman punch from Pettis that ultimately sealed the deal. During his Wonderboy Thompson Takeover on March 20, the 37-year-old relived what it was like to be on the receiving end of such a lethal punch. In the build-up to Pettis’ punch, Wonderboy could barely watch while reviewing the footage. “Here it comes,” the fighter repeated before stating how his body completely “stiffened up” in response to the blow. After looking back at the footage, Thompson explained how Pettis’ momentum off the cage helped him generate the power behind his ‘superman’ punch. Wonderboy then went on to say how it was the two strikes that were landed on him while on the ground that ended up hurting the most. “Somebody needs to put a meme of my soul rising up out of my body,” the fighter joked. Many fighters would struggle to recover from such a traumatic knockout, especially since his face was quite literally “crushed” as Thompson aptly put it. However, Wonderboy bounced back at UFC 244, as he seemed to be on top of his striking game once again — dominating Vincente Luque with his insane strike rate through all three rounds. Looks like Thompson has well and truly learned his lesson, after he gave Pettis a little too much room in the octagon!

UFC fighter dares Bradley Martyn to accept street fight challenge: “I would kill you” – Dexerto
UFC fighter dares Bradley Martyn to accept street fight challenge: “I would kill you” YT: Bradley Martyn’s Raw TalkUFC middleweight contender Sean Strickland has issued a stark warning to social media influencer Bradley Martyn, who has been challenging professional fighters to street fights. Martyn, the social media influencer and bodybuilder, has been making waves with his audacious claims that he could defeat professional fighters in a street fight. This time, Strickland has stepped up to the plate, issuing a chilling warning to Martyn. Strickland, who is set to fight for the UFC Middleweight Championship on September 9, was recently asked about his chances in a street fight against the 260-pound Martyn. In an interview with Nina-Marie Daniele, Strickland didn’t mince words: “Who the f*** is Bradley Martyn? I don’t know this Bradley Martyn, but if you’re here right now and I can get away with it… I would take your f***ing life. I would kill you. I would put my gun down and would f***ing take your f***ing life.” Strickland went on to add, “Nina gave me a little backstory… that you challenge people. Motherf***er, I’m in Vegas, you show the f*** up, you little b**ch. Sign a waiver and we will see how many bones we can break in your f***ing face.” “If he was right here and he was like, ‘Sean, I think I can beat you in a street fight,’ I would get up. I would put my gun down, and I’d backhand him like the little b**ch he is,” Strickland concluded. Strickland is not the first to take issue with Martyn’s bold claims. Jake Paul, who most recently defeated former UFC contender Nate Diaz, offered Martyn a seven-figure sum to fight Mike Perry. Demetrious Johnson, one of the greatest UFC fighters of all time, also expressed interest in fighting Martyn, who has been notorious for leveraging his size advantage in these hypothetical matchups. Unsurprisingly, combat sports fans are skeptical of Martyn’s chances against professional fighters. Joe Rogan, the outspoken commentator, summed it up succinctly: “Bradley Martyn has no chance… He has no chance. Zero chance. He’s 100% going to get choked out.” Whether or not Martyn will ever step into the cage—or the street—to prove his claims remains to be seen.

UFC coach claims Jake Paul has “many advantages” over Conor McGregor in boxing bout – Dexerto
UFC coach claims Jake Paul has “many advantages” over Conor McGregor in boxing bout Instagram: Jake Paul / Conor McGregorJavier Mendez, the UFC coach who trained several champions including Khabib Nurmagomedov, claims Jake Paul has “many advantages” over Conor McGregor and “absolutely has a chance” to beat him. Jake Paul has been linked to a potential fight against Conor McGregor ever since he challenged him back in December 2020. Since then, he’s done his best to get a reaction from the former UFC champion, and it worked. After beating Tyron Woodley, Jake’s stock has risen once again. However, it seems like he’s more likely to fight other candidates, including a rematch against Woodley, rather than square off against McGregor anytime soon. Still, that hasn’t stopped Jake from trying to lay down the groundwork by trying to get under his skin. If it were to happen, Javier Mendez — who coached an impressive list of UFC champions including Cain Velasquez, Daniel Cormier, and Khabib Nurmagomedov — believes Jake can win. “Jake has got so many advantages on Conor. Size being one of the big major ones,” Mendez told Betway. “He’s got big advantages in size and power. He doesn’t have fight experience, but he’s been strictly just boxing for a long time now.” Mendez also explained that Jake has been training with “really good boxing professionals that know what they’re doing.” For that reason, he believes he “shouldn’t fear” McGregor at all and “absolutely has a chance” to beat him. McGregor is still trying to redeem himself in the UFC after losing to Dustin Poirier for the second time and gruesomely breaking his leg in the process. Jake admitted he would love to “break him down” the same way Poirier did. However, new challenges keep cropping up. So, it might not happen for a while — if at all.

UFC commentator warns Jake Paul not to enter MMA: ‘he won’t enjoy his life’ – Dexerto
UFC commentator warns Jake Paul not to enter MMA: ‘he won’t enjoy his life’ Instagram/JakePaulUFC commentator Jon Anik has weighed in on Jake Paul’s possible switch to MMA from boxing, warning the YouTuber against making the jump. Jake Paul has taken the boxing world by storm. The influencer boasts a spotless 5-0 record, including two victories against former UFC Welterweight Champion Tyron Woodley, with The Problem Child winning the rematch with a knockout. Despite his success, Jake has made it clear that he wants to fight against UFC stars in the octagon, even possibly one of the GOATs in Khabib Nurmagomedov. However, not everyone wants Paul to compete in MMA. Commentator Jon Anik explained how Paul might not enjoy his life if he switched from boxing. Jake Paul warned against fighting in UFC Speaking with DAZN, Anik said that he doubts that Paul will end up going into mixed martial arts. “I just don’t think that he wants to scratch that competitive itch. I think he is legitimately passionate about boxing,” he said, before comparing Jake to former WWE-turned-UFC fighter CM Punk. “CM Punk, for lack of a better example, he needed to scratch that itch. It didn’t go the way he wanted it to. It didn’t go the way he thought it would. But he needed that for his own peace of mind.” Anik went on to claim that he doesn’t believe Paul wants to devote his life to MMA and training the same way he has for boxing. “Jake Paul’s not going to have a better retirement or enjoy any part of his life by scratching that MMA itch,” he said, adding he doesn’t believe Paul will end up in the UFC – but if he does, he hopes the matchmaking will be “appropriate.” Jake Paul may not be fighting again until September, but when he does, we’ll have to see if it’s in the octagon or a return to the boxing ring.

UFC champ Stipe Miocic warns Jake & Logan Paul about calling out MMA fighters – Dexerto
UFC champ Stipe Miocic warns Jake & Logan Paul about calling out MMA fighters Twitter/stipemiocic/Instagram/Jake PaulTwo-time and current UFC Heavyweight Champion Stipe Miocic had some choice words for Jake and Logan Paul, as the two YouTubers-turned-boxers have been calling out MMA fighters for boxing bouts. While appearing on The Pat McAfee Show, Miocic was asked by the former football pro what his thoughts were on Jake Paul fighting Ben Askren and the surge boxing is having with the brothers being so interested in it. “I mean, they say social media is a motherf***er,” the UFC star joked. “They’re doing it right, it’s helping boxing, but also it’s helping everything because they’re calling UFC fighters out, too. Or the Bellator guys.” This was in reference to Jake calling out UFC’s Irish powerhouse Conor McGregor and Ben Askren, the latter of which accepted the YouTuber’s challenge. On the boxing front, Logan Paul is scheduled to face off against undefeated legend Floyd Mayweather on February 20, 2021. According to Miocic, while he thinks the Pauls are helping grow the sport, they shouldn’t get overconfident and potentially ruin a good thing they have going for them. “Don’t bite off more than you can chew,” the champ advised. “I mean, yes, you may be a tough guy, but Askren has been in some scraps. He’s been around, you know, fighting and wrestling and all that.” “”They’re doing it right, it’s helping boxing, but also it’s helping everything calling because they’re calling UFC fighters out too… Just don’t bite off more than you can chew””@stipemiocic on @jakepaul & @LoganPaul in the boxing ring #PatMcAfeeShowLIVE pic.twitter.com/lKt7s36fZw — Pat McAfee (@PatMcAfeeShow) January 6, 2021 With a 19-2 MMA record, Askren is certainly no pushover with the only two losses in his career coming when he joined the UFC. His final bout in the organization was a loss against Demian Maia to headline an October 2019 Fight Night event in Singapore. “I tell people like, you get into a fight on the streets – look at his ears first. If the dude’s ears are cauliflowers, you walk away,” he added. “I wish them all the best. I understand why they’re doing it, it’s all about the money. But at the same time, don’t bite off more than you can chew.” Finally, when asked about the possibility of ever doing some boxing exhibitions when he’s in his 50s or 60s, Stipe wasn’t opposed to the idea. “Maybe, if it pays the right money, I’d do whatever.” Only time will tell if the Pauls take Miocic’s advice or if they continue to call out fighters who have been competing a lot longer than they have.

UFC champion Israel Adesanya defends Joe Rogan amid racial slur controversy – Dexerto
UFC champion Israel Adesanya defends Joe Rogan amid racial slur controversy Twitter/Israel AdesanyaUFC Middleweight champion Israel Adesanya defended Joe Rogan after old footage of him using racial slurs surfaced, claiming he’s one of the nicest and humblest people he’s ever worked with. In February 2022, Joe Rogan came under fire after footage of him using racial slurs in the past surfaced. He accepted responsibility for his comments, describing them as “idiotic”, but insisted they were taken out of context. Spotify CEO Daniel Ek condemned the comments in an open letter to his employees. However, he hit back at calls to cancel the podcast, claiming that silencing and de-platforming the comedian isn’t the answer. In the first episode since the controversy started, Rogan described the outrage against him as a “political hit job.” Adesanya echoed the sentiment after the topic came up during the UFC 271 Pre-Fight Press Conference. “Dana, I have a question for you about Joe Rogan,” asked the reporter. “There’s been a lot of controversy about him…” However, before he could finish the question, the Houston crowd started booing hysterically. Adesanya was having none of it. Instead of letting Dana White respond, he defended Rogan himself. “Let me take this one,” he said. “There are a lot of c*nts in this game. There are a lot of snakes in this game.” The UFC Middleweight Champion told the crowd that the podcast host isn’t one of them. “Joe Rogan is one of the nicest, coolest, most humble motherf**kers I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Understand that.” He also implied the media is trying to silence Rogan but believes he’s too big for that. “You know what they’re trying to do. You can’t control the man. He’s got the biggest platform in the world right now. F**k the noise.” Rogan poked fun at the drama during a new stand-up comedy routine. He grimaced while watching the old footage of him using racial slurs in front of the crowd and urged people to not take medical advice from him. “If you’re taking advice from me, is that really my fault?” he said. “You know that dude who made people eat animal d*cks on TV? How does he feel about medicine? If you want my advice, don’t take my advice!”

UFC champ Sean Strickland calls Andrew Tate a “con artist” in furious rant – Dexerto
UFC champ Sean Strickland calls Andrew Tate a “con artist” in furious rant Full Send podcastUFC Middleweight champion Sean Strickland has publicly called out Andrew Tate on the Full Send podcast, saying he shows “no remorse” and is a “con artist.” Sean Strickland became the UFC Middleweight champion after beating Israel Adesanya in a title bout on September 10. Aside from his fighting success, he has often made the headlines becoming notorious for his outspoken takes on a range of sensitive topics. During the build-up to his title fight, he was asked whether he could take the popular fitness influencer Bradley Martyn in a street fight, to which he gave the social media star a stark warning. He sat down with the NELK Boys on their Full Send podcast and after being asked about Andrew Tate, he soon went on a furious rant, expressing his less-than-favorable views on the polarizing figure. UFC champion Sean Strickland says Andrew Tate has “no remorse” “Here’s the thing about Andrew Tate. As young men, I could see why you guys look up to him because you are moral-less men. You have no values, you have no positive male role models, so you latch on to a piece of s**t like Tate,” Strickland said. Later on, he specifically targets Tate’s Only Fans agency, accusing him of “pretending to be a cam girl and rob people’s savings.” “To see the way he talked with no remorse, it wasn’t, ‘You know what, man? I did something so morally wrong. I took advantage of men, I took money from men,’ it was like, ‘No, f**k them. I’m a con artist, I’m a piece of s**t’,” he said. Tate previously appeared on the Full Send podcast himself, which went viral after he spoke to the NELK Boys about the details of his Only Fans management company. At the time of writing, Andrew Tate has not responded to the claims made by Sean Strickland. For further insight, we have outlined Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan’s official charges.

UFC champ reveals Jake Paul could fight Anderson Silva next – Dexerto
UFC champ reveals Jake Paul could fight Anderson Silva next Showtime/Instagram/AndersonsilvaA future fight between influencer-turned-boxer Jake Paul and MMA legend Anderson Silva could be in the cards, according to a current UFC champion. Ever since Jake Paul secured a KO victory against Tyron Woodley in their December rematch, fans have been wondering who The Problem Child will be stepping into the ring with next. Originally, Paul was set to battle Tommy Fury, but the Love Island star was forced to back out due to an injury, resulting in Woodley taking his place. Unlike Tyron, however, it seems like Jake is unwilling to give Fury another shot. So, who will Paul battle next? According to the current UFC Bantamweight Champion Aljamain Sterling, Anderson Silva is a frontrunner. Is Jake Paul vs Anderson Silva next? During a conversation on his YouTube channel, Sterling was asked about who Jake Paul could be fighting next, with possible opponents Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal being popular picks. “I know Anderson Silva was supposedly a frontrunner for a matchup with him,” the mixed martial artist revealed. Anderson Silva has been lurking as a possible big opponent for Paul for quite some time, with even UFC President Dana White wanting to see the two tangle instead of having the YouTuber continue to call out his fighters. The Brazilian mixed martial artist has even expressed his own interest in fighting Jake or his brother Logan, saying that while he respects the two, stepping into the ring with either of them was “possible.” Aljamain Sterling says Jake Paul could “hurt” Anderson Silva In a bold prediction, ‘Funk Master’ went on to say that if Jake were to find an opening, he could do some serious damage to Silva in a boxing match. “If Jake can legitimately connect, I think he would actually hurt Anderson,” he added. “He’s a young guy. He knows how to grab you. He did that so many times against Woodley, he clinched 30 times over the first five rounds.” Though Sterling did note that The Spider “has hands,” the question will be if he can take a shot from Paul – something that we’ll have to find out if the two end up squaring off sometime in 2022.

UFC champ Sean O’Malley gets first Warzone nuke with help from NICKMERCS and Swagg – Dexerto
UFC champ Sean O’Malley gets first Warzone nuke with help from NICKMERCS and Swagg Instagram: @sugaseanmma / Twitch: @NickmercsUFC champ Sean O’Malley managed to get his first Warzone nuke with help from popular Call of Duty streamers NICKMERCS and Swagg UFC bantamweight champion can be found spending his time off from fighting in the world’s premier fighting company by streaming and playing games like Call of Duty. Call of Duty is infamous for the nuke killstreak that has featured in some of its games, where in multiplayer if players get enough kills (usually 30ish) without dying, they gain the ability to call in a game-ending nuke. Activision also introduced this to Warzone, and ever since it has been seen as one of the pinnacle achievements in Call of Duty Warzone. Sean O’Malley has been trying to complete this achievement for a while, and this week with the help of Nickmercs, FaZe Nio, and Swagg, he managed to get his first Nuke. Sean O’Malley gets hyped after first Warzone Nuke Sean O’Malley and his squad of Call of Duty streamers played for five and a half hours before eventually getting the Nuke, causing all of them to erupt into triumphant shouting. Highlights of the game were posted on Nickmercs YouTube: “Yeaaaaahhh!” screamed Nickmercs. “That felt earned, baby! That felt earned!” agreed O’Malley and the team managed to successfully defend and set off the Nuke. However, the game crashed as the Nuke cutscene began, displaying a “Lost connection to Host/Server. Connection timed out”. But, luckily for Sean and the crew, the Nuke still counted and the over 5 hours of hard work was all worth it as he still obtained the rare Nuke camo.

UFC champ Kamaru Usman open to fighting Jake Paul on one condition – Dexerto
UFC champ Kamaru Usman open to fighting Jake Paul on one condition Instagram: Jake Paul / Kamaru UsmanUFC Welterweight Champion Kamaru Usman has accepted a fight against undefeated boxer Jake Paul, but there is a major condition that The Problem Child would need to meet to make it happen. Jake Paul has become a threat in the boxing world. With a 5-0 record and four KOs to his name, the YouTube star has gone from being an influencer to selling out arenas for his matches. With the younger Paul brother still in search for a dance partner for his return to the ring in August, Kamaru Usman has weighed in on if he would like to box the former Disney star. In a recent interview, Usman teased that a fight could be in the cards, but it would be up to Jake to fulfill a big promise to guarantee the bout even ends up happening. Kamaru Usman accepts Jake Paul boxing match During a discussion with SportsBible, Usman explained why he’d want to step into the ring against Jake Paul and the reason should put a smile on The Problem Child’s haters. “Yes, just to kick his butt,” The Nigerian Nightmare laughed. “We’re a different breed of fighters and now he’s in a different era of combat sport.” According to the UFC champ, if Paul wanted to fight, he would need to guarantee a big payday, especially after his pay-per-view rematch against Tyron Woodley underperformed. “Jake Paul doesn’t equate to money. Jake Paul equates to eyes, yes, of course you get eyes on you because all these kids and the new age that follow him,” Usman continued. “But his last three fights combined didn’t do my pay-per-view numbers for my last fight, so if he can’t guarantee me eight figures there’s no point in even talking to me about it.” So far, Jake hasn’t responded to Usman’s openness to duke it out. With no shortage of possible opponents, Paul may not end up battling the Welterweight champ quite yet, but it seems like there’s a chance the two end up touching gloves at some point in the future.

UFC champ Kamaru Usman will fight Jake Paul on one condition – Dexerto
UFC champ Kamaru Usman will fight Jake Paul on one condition Instagram/usman84kg/jakepaulUFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman is down to fight YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, but there’s a big catch that The Nigerian Nightmare has outlined to make it a reality. Jake Paul has taken the boxing world by storm. With a 5-0 record including a KO victory against former UFC champ Tyron Woodley, The Problem Child has emerged as quite the competitor. While Paul may not have another opponent set for 2022, he has no shortage of possible foes, including Conor McGregor, Paddy Pimblett and Jorge Masvidal – just to name a few. Now, Kamaru Usman has commented on potentially facing off against Paul despite originally laughing off a bout. Kamaru Usman will fight Jake Paul for $100M During an appearance on Club Shay Shay, Usman was asked if he’d ever fight Jake or his brother Logan and had quite the response. “Absolutely, but these guys are making a lot of noise. They got the YouTubers and they got this new generation, these new kids involved and watching them. That’s fine, but they don’t equate to dollars,” he said. According to Usman, the only time one of their fights made a serious profit was when Logan fought Floyd Mayweather, and credits the 50-0 boxing champ for even making the bout so successful. “Jake Paul says ‘we doing these numbers.’ You can add up every fight Jake Paul has had, but the pay-per-view numbers weren’t more than what I did in my last fight,” he added. “Write me a check for $100 million, Jake Paul and I’ll be there to kick your ass next week.” While it’s unlikely that even Jake Paul has $100m to give to Usman to get him into a ring, at least it’s good to see that he would consider taking on The Problem Child. Whether there is room for negotiation, however, remains unknown.

UFC champ Israel Adesanya praises Jake Paul’s fighting: “He wants to f**k dudes up” – Dexerto
UFC champ Israel Adesanya praises Jake Paul’s fighting: “He wants to f**k dudes up” Amanda Wescott/SHOWTIME/talksportUFC Middleweight Champion Israel Adesanya revealed he is a big fan of Jake Paul and believes the YouTuber is taking his time in the boxing world very seriously. Jake Paul has taken the fight world by storm. With a professional record of 5-0, the boxer has secured impressive KOs against former MMA stars Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley. Despite his success, many have doubted The Problem Child’s commitment to the sport, even has he has feuded with UFC President Dana White over fighter pay. That feud with Dana, however, seems to have been responsible for Israel Adesanya’s lucrative UFC deal. Israel Adesanya supports Jake Paul In an interview with talkSPORT, the Nigerian voiced his approval of Paul pushing for better pay and even discussed his fighting style. “I think Jake Paul was the right guy to [challenge Dana White] at the time. He was one of the guys to get this conversation going that Francis [Ngannou] jumped in,” he said. “Just because I got my new deal doesn’t mean I just shut up about it. I’m not wrong in saying I think everyone should be getting paid equally for their work. I get paid quite nicely and I’m still greedy. This is the game we’re in, in prizefighting,” The Last Stylebender explained. Adesanya claims Jake Paul is “really serious” about fighting According to Adesanya, he has a nice friendship with Jake Paul that began once he realized the YouTuber was a big fan of his. Adesanya revealed he went to Paul’s house after his victory against Nate Robinson and had some “deep conversations” and realized he wasn’t in the fight game just for “clout.” “Because if you don’t know him, you just kind of fall into that ‘ah, this snobby little kid we think he’s just doing this for attention, for likes or clout, but you talk to him and it’s like ‘yo, he’s really serious,’” Adesanya added. “He really wants to f**k dudes up. He’s already doing that, look at his last fight. He knocked out Woodley crazy.” It’s not yet clear who Jake Paul will be fighting next or even if it will be in a boxing ring. The 25-year-old has expressed a desire to compete in MMA and has no shortage of possible opponents with everyone from Jorge Masvidal to Tommy Fury wanting a piece of the YouTuber. Regardless of the opponent though, it seems like Paul will have Adesanya in his corner, even if it’s just figuratively speaking.

UberEats blames customer after driver delivers to wrong house – Dexerto
UberEats blames customer after driver delivers to wrong house Twitter: HayliNic/Pexels: Pablo CorderoA woman on Twitter shared screenshots of her chat with UberEats support where they blamed her after the driver delivered her order to the wrong house. When it comes to delivery apps like DoorDash, UberEats, and Instacart, it’s not uncommon for accidents to happen. From receiving the wrong food to the driver delivering to the wrong house, the possibilities are endless. Twitter user HaliNic recently dealt with an UberEats driver that delivered her order to the wrong house, and the company’s support put the blame on her. UberEats blames customer after delivery mishap Shortly after her delivery of pizza and ice cream went awry, HayliNic jumped into the UberEats live chat to get a refund for her order. However, it didn’t go quite as planned when the customer support agent said there was nothing they could do to help as they claimed the customer accepts responsibility for the order after it’s been dropped off. “This was the most wild customer service experience I’ve ever had lol wtf. [I] tried ordering pizza and ice cream last night and both orders got delivered to the wrong house. [UberEats] customer service said it was my fault and then closed the conversation,” she said. In the screenshots posted alongside her tweet, you can see the messages from Uber Eats customer support. “By placing an order with us, you accept full responsibility for your order after it’s been dropped off by the delivery person,” they said. “We understand this is not the response you were expecting. However, we won’t be able to provide you with a price adjustment on this order.” Others quickly flooded the replies of her tweet with their own stories surrounding UberEats, with many slamming the lack of customer support. It’s unknown whether or not Hayli ended up getting any further service from the company, but we’ll be sure to update you if she shares an update. In the meantime, head over to our entertainment section for more news and other viral stories.

Uber Eats driver confronted after being exposed drinking from order – Dexerto
Uber Eats driver confronted after being exposed drinking from order TikTok: sxaxaxbA TikToker has gone viral after exposing and confronting an Uber Eats delivery driver who had decided to munch on one of their deliveries instead. As TikTok has become one of the go-to platforms for people to share their daily lives, pretty much every corner of the internet gets covered and there are a number of popular topics on there. One of the most popular genres relates to delivery drivers, well, Uber Eats and DoorDash to be more specific. Users have been obsessed with how some drivers will go into business for themselves, dumping orders and clashing with customers. Well, now another TikTok has gone viral to the tune of over eight million views after she clashed with a driver who appeared to drink one of the drinks meant to be delivered in the order they had. TikToker confronts UberEats driver who delivered drink after taking chug from it To kick off the minute-long video, TikToker sxaxaxb recorded the driver sat on his scooter, drinking from a McDonald’s cup before he put the lid back on, put it back in the bag, and walked inside holding to deliver it. Once he got into the building, he was met by the TikToker who immediately accused him of taking one of the drinks. “I’ve recorded you, you know that? You ate their food, didn’t you?” she said to the driver. The TikToker continued with her accusations, much to the confusion of the driver who ultimately asked for her name before the video concluded. Plenty of viewers agreed with the TikToker’s claims too. “Well done for confronting him,” said one. “Yep, that’s me never using UberEats ever again,” another said. “I understand now why when I ordered my food something missing, or food or drink not full,” commented another. A number of viewers pointed out that some delivery services and restaurants will now use stickers to seal bags for delivery to ensure this doesn’t happen. Though, clearly, some slip through. Some wanted the TikToker to follow the driver to the door that he was delivering to, to show the recipient of the delivery what had happened. However, whatever happened next remains a mystery.

Uber Eats driver disguises herself as a man to feel safer delivering at night TIKTOK: tiazakherA female Uber Eats driver went viral on TikTok, after revealing that she disguises herself as a man to feel safer while delivering at night. TikToker Tia Zakher says she earns more money delivering food at night, but wants to take additional measures to ensure her safety while doing so. In a viral clip, the 20-year-old showed off her masculine attire and explained that, despite making “more money at night,” she was scared to drop off deliveries in the dark. “POV: You’re scared to deliver orders at night alone, but you make more money at night, so you dress up as a man,” she wrote over the video. In the TikTok, Tia was seen donning a gray hoodie, an oversized jacket, khaki pants, and white sneakers. The Uber Eats driver also wore a baseball cap with a hood over it and a mask to hide the bottom half of her face. “Male privilege,” she wrote in the caption of her clip, which has amassed over 272,000 views.

Once you nail it, you’re good,” a third shared. “Baggier pants and strong mens perfume, and you’re good to go,” someone else advised, to which the TikToker replied: “Noted.” Others, however, lamented the reality of being a woman alone at night. “It’s so sad we have to go through this as women,” one commented. “Me walking to get groceries at night,” another wrote. “I had a woman deliver me pizza at night and it warmed my heart, but also saddened my heart that her husband was with her and helping her,” a third said. This is just the latest Uber Eats-related video to take off on TikTok, after a delivery driver went viral for saving a customer who was stranded on top of a building.

Uber Eats customer stunned after order says “B*tch” on the receipt TIKTOK: floridaferalAn Uber Eats customer went viral on TikTok after revealing that her order arrived with a receipt that had the word “B*tch” on it. In a 33-second clip with over 1.2 million views, content creator Florida Feral (floridaferal) revealed why she found the curse word on her Uber Eats ticket, and it wasn’t what she expected. “I’ve never felt so dumb in my life,” she began. “I ordered a cheeseburger the other night. You can see the time, 8:42 p.m.,” she said while showing her bill. “And my order arrived, and it said ‘B*tch.’” The confused customer then called the bar she ordered from to find out whether she had done something to justify being cursed out on the receipt. “I called the bar, and I’m like, ‘Did your kitchen close at nine?’ Florida said. “No, they are open until midnight,” the worker told her. “Why?” Uber Eats customer finds out why order says “B*tch.” “Well, because my order said ‘B*tch,’” the TikToker responded. In the video, Florida said that was when the worker burst into laughter. “Yeah, it’s called the b*tchin’ burger on our menu, but it doesn’t say that on Uber,” the employee explained. “You’re not the first one to make this mistake.” “I felt so dumb,” the content creator said, adding that she was too scared to eat her food after reading the receipt. TikTok users in the comments were in hysterics over the whole situation. “The fact that you called them to make sure they weren’t mad at you,” one wrote, along with a laughing face emoji. “They need to fix that.

I would have automatically assumed I did something wrong,” someone else shared, to which the TikToker replied, “Thanks for making me feel better.” For more entertainment news and coverage, check out our page right here on Dexerto.

Uber Eats customer discovers driver buying himself food and putting it on her tab – Dexerto
Uber Eats customer discovers driver buying himself food and putting it on her tab TikTok/kallidaze/PixabayAn Uber Eats driver was caught buying himself food and making customers pay for it in a viral expose video. The ease of being able to order groceries directly from home and have them delivered is a major advantage for Uber users, but one customer found a major flaw with the program. In a viral TikTok from late in September, user ‘kallidaze’ revealed her stomach churning discovery after being overcharged for groceries, getting less than she ordered and with other items added without her permission. According to kallidaze, things got even more awkward when she contacted Uber about the problem and had some serious difficulty getting a straight answer. Uber customer accuses driver of charging her for food Kallidaze explained that once the Uber employee shared the receipt with her after insisting that they only charge for what’s on the order through the app. “When she finally sends me the store receipt, guess what? The guy bought himself a bunch of food. Oh, and he got himself a bag to carry it in too, so that’s an extra ten cents,” she noted. The customer added that Uber refused to do anything about the extra food and even ended the chat. Instead, the employee asked Kallidaze to mark down what items weren’t there – something that only infuriated the TikToker more. “You should know what’s not there, because you have your Uber receipt, so you know what I ordered and you know I didn’t order a pot roast,” she fumed. “So, why do I need to mark it for you? Why did I pay a $30 service fee on this order if I have to mark the receipt?” Users in the comments felt sympathy for the TikToker, but some agreed that it would be best to do grocery shopping themselves to save money and make sure issues like this don’t arise. “Does nobody do their own grocery shopping anymore? I am way too picky about what my fresh meat looks like. I could never use those apps,” one remarked. “The amount of times I’ve had food stolen by the driver and Uber tells me that’s just something that happens is ridiculous,” said someone else. It’s not known if the TikToker ended up getting refunded, but she has promised to post a follow-up video, so we’ll keep you updated if her situation changes.

Uber Eats customer goes viral after getting ‘raw deal’ with uncooked rice – Dexerto
Uber Eats customer goes viral after getting ‘raw deal’ with uncooked rice Uber/ TikTok:shirl3yliuWhen Sydney-based TikTok user Shirley Liu ordered from Uber Eats, she received a crunchy side order she never expected – a cup of uncooked rice. Liu’s post, captioned “Why does this always happen to me?” quickly gained momentum and stirred up a flurry of reactions from TikTok users. The video showcased the delivery order with Liu playing around with the uncooked rice in the plastic cup. The unusual order sparked many comments, with some TikTok users pointing out that the blame should fall on the restaurant, not the delivery platform. One user pointed out, “All Uber Eats did was deliver your food. The restaurant is the one that sent you uncooked rice.” Another added, “Everyone’s so quick to blame the delivery app, but that’s misguided.” Among the sea of comments, some users found humor in the situation. One user asked, “Did you order the rice’ extra rare’?” while another inquired if cooking instructions were included in the box. Yet another likened the incident to receiving a salad from a pizza place, where customers are expected to chop their own vegetables. One user suggested that the rice could come in handy if Liu’s phone ever got soaked, playing off the popular advice of using rice to absorb moisture from electronics. The video has not only triggered amusement but inspired users to share their own delivery mishaps. One TikToker shared their tale of ordering a McFlurry, only to receive a cup of Oreo crumbs and a singular flake due to a broken ice cream machine. Another user recalled the disappointment of ordering beef noodle soup and receiving only noodles, while yet another recounted getting plain milk with tapioca instead of their order of brown sugar milk tea. The strange incident follows similarly-shocking clips, such as when a customer received a receipt with the word “b*tch” on it. An interesting positive spin came from a user, who commented, “On the bright side, they give you more rice than they normally would have if it was cooked, lol,” while another pointed out that the uncooked rice would yield a lot more than a usual portion of steamed rice. Despite the comedic value of the incident, the story contributes to the ongoing debate regarding the division of responsibility between food delivery platforms and restaurants for order mishaps. As food delivery apps continue to soar in popularity, these discussions are likely to persist.

Uber Eats customer baffled after receiving empty Starbucks drink – Dexerto
Uber Eats customer baffled after receiving empty Starbucks drink TIKTOK: emelywithane_An UberEats customer went viral on TikTok after her $20 Starbucks order arrived with a completely empty drink. Content creator Emely Moreno (emelywithane_) was confused as to how her drink spilled throughout her bag, despite the Starbucks cup being undamaged and sealed with a lid and sticker over the spout. “This is a message to whoever just delivered my Uber Eats, I need to know what just happened because y’all, look at this,” she said in her video. “First of all, I ordered Starbucks, right? And ask me how I come outside and this is what I see.” She then recorded her Starbucks bag and took out an iced juice beverage from it, which appeared empty. “Make it make sense, wait…how is this even spilling I’m confused?” the TikToker said. Emely showed the cup dripping on the steps in front of her house. It looked properly sealed, complete with a small sticker covering the sippy part of the lid. There’s no apparent damage to the container that would that would explain the leaking beverage. “This makes absolutely no sense, there’s no holes, it has a little covering here, like, this sh*t is soaking wet!” she exclaimed. “The worst part is I paid $20 for that sh*t to get here in speedy mode, but clearly it got here too quick because that sh*t just evaporated!” Many TikTok users speculated that the delivery driver might have drank the iced juice. “Oh hell nah that person drank and spilled before you got to it,” one commented. “The driver was thirsty,” another said. “Nah they took off the lid and drank it,” someone else agreed. Others claimed they’d experienced the same thing with their delivered drinks. “Same exact thing happened to me. After I complain for an hour, I got a refund,” one wrote. “That happened to me before! The driver swear he did nothing to it but half my drink was at the bottom of the bag!” another shared. “I had that happened to me the other day, both drinks gone,” a third added. This is just the latest UberEats fiasco to take off on TikTok, after a customer’s order arrived with a plastic cup of uncooked rice.

Uber driver takes rider back home after she asked for music to be turned down – Dexerto
Uber driver takes rider back home after she asked for music to be turned down TIKTOK: marleville/FREEPIKA woman went viral on TikTok after revealing that her Uber driver took her back home after she asked for the music to be turned down. In a 57-second clip with over 400,000 views in a single day, content creator Marleville said she ordered an early morning pickup on Uber so that she could get to the airport. She requested a “quiet trip” without any “music or conversation.” However, when the driver arrived, the car had loud music blasting as they drove. Marleville said that she then politely asked for the music volume to be lowered. She explained that the driver turned it down “like one click.” About ten minutes into the ride, with loud music still playing, she asked if he could just turn the music off until they reach the airport. Instead, the driver gave her a surprising response. “He said, ‘I’m just going to take you home,’ and turned all the way back around,” the TikToker recalled. Uber driver returns rider home In a follow-up video, Marleville explained that the driver did not know her address when he decided to return her home, as he asked her to provide it. “I had to give him my address, which is now a safety concern for me,” she said. “I try to keep things in perspective. I was confused but not angry… I hope he was kinder to his next rider.” Marleville said she was able to find a new driver and a different flight so that she could still make it to her destination. TikTok users in the comments were supportive of the content creator, including several Uber drivers. “There’s a QUIET RIDE selection for a reason. Who Ubers in the morning and then gets upset that someone doesn’t want music, let alone BLASTING loud?” one user questioned. “As a former Uber driver, I’m shocked! I’m so sorry that happened to you,” another wrote. “You didn’t deserve to be treated like that. That weight is for him to carry. Glad you’re safe,” a third said. This isn’t the first Uber-related video to take off on TikTok; previously, an Uber driver was filmed breaking into a woman’s apartment while she was sleeping.

Uber driver goes viral on TikTok after exposing cheater picking up mistress – Dexerto
Uber driver goes viral on TikTok after exposing cheater picking up mistress UNSPLASH: VIKTOR AVDEEVAn Uber driver went viral on TikTok for exposing a cheating married man, after he added a second stop to pick up his mistress. The Dallas-based Uber driver posted a storytime video in which she called out a man for allegedly cheating on his wife. In a viral video with over 8.1 million views, TikToker Roni explained that she got a ride to pick up a man at his house. Before entering the car, she saw him kiss his wife goodbye and hug his children who came outside to wave to him. When he got in the car, he told Roni he had added another stop to their trip. Once the driver arrived at the next stop, a woman got into the car with some small luggage. Roni said the woman got into the car telling the man, “I’m so glad you finally got away from your damn wife,” before the two started kissing in the backseat. According to the TikToker, it wasn’t a, “’hi how you doing’ kind of kiss.” The man then told Roni that he had changed the drop-off location, which she acknowledged. “I’m tired of you putting me off. When are you gonna leave?” the woman in the backseat then asked, to which the man replied there were “things to take care of” and that they should “talk about this later.” Uber driver exposes cheating husband on TikTok What the TikToker did next certainly took the cheating husband and mistress by surprise. “Keep in mind I was about five miles from his house,” Roni recalled in the video. The Uber driver then drove back to the original pickup point and told the couple to get out of her car “at his home, where his wife and kids were.” “Pull some sh*t like that in my car and you’re gonna get done like that. Be better people. Do better in life,” Roni added. She also noted that “things didn’t turn out so well for him” and that he and his mistress were left standing on his lawn when his family came outside to see them. Reactions from TikTok users were divided, with some believing the alleged affair wasn’t her business and that she shouldn’t have gotten involved. Roni, however, claims that when driving for Uber, anything that happens in her car is her business. “This is my car. I work for myself. I am an independent contractor,” she said. “If I choose to end your ride, it’s my choice. Uber’s not gonna fire me, Uber’s not gonna ban me, Uber’s not gonna get rid of me. If you are doing something crappy in my car, I have the right to handle it however I see fit.”

Uber driver charges passenger to play game and the internet can’t believe it – Dexerto
Uber driver charges passenger to play game and the internet can’t believe it TikTok: @fordsandersA passenger went viral after they alleged they’d been charged for playing a game while travelling, and viewers was shocked. Gaining over 2 million views, news reporter Ford Sanders recorded himself playing a claw machine game attached to the passenger headrest in an Uber. There was a button that read “Tap to Drop” which he pressed, and he was told that he’d won a cartoon animal named Sheldon the Turtle. All of a sudden, he looked completely shocked, with the video’s text overlay claiming “Me clicking that button cost me $1.53.” People were shocked after the video was posted, with many confused as to why they were charging for the game. “WAIT, THIS CHARGES YOU?” one proclaimed, clearly surprised. “That’s why I say, ‘No, thank you’ to everything,” another wrote in. while Sanders didn’t provide proof that he was charged for the game, others revealed they had had similar experiences. “I did this at Olive Garden. I thought the games were free,” they said. One said that they’d played one of the games before, but had not been charged, saying: “I did this in Miami, I didn’t get charged though.” The game that could be seen in the video is actually owned by a company called Octopus. They give free tablets to drivers for Uber, Lyft, and other transportation services. They claim that it’s a chance for drivers to “engage riders,” and potentially earn more tips in the process. Despite the claims in the video, you’re not actually charged for playing one of these games. “(Octopus games cost) nothing. We are able to provide free tablets to top-tier drivers by showing short advertisements in between games,” the website states. Uber also went viral after one of their drivers shocked a customer with a fake identity on the app.

Uber driver goes viral after comforting grieving passenger – Dexerto
Uber driver goes viral after comforting grieving passenger TikTok / jamesbadeofficialAn Uber driver has gone viral on TikTok after he experienced a heartbreaking moment when a grieving mother said he reminded her of her son who had passed away. Thanks to social media, a whole range of somewhat unbelievable happenings during Uber rides have been caught on camera and shared online by drivers. Whether it be passengers being kicked out for canceling their trips mid-journey, or the driver themselves getting revenge on customers by eating their food, they typically go viral for something going wrong. For TikToker James Bade this was quite the opposite. The Aussie Uber driver was able to capture a heartfelt moment when two Uber passengers left his car and thanked him in an emotional exchange. Uber driver shares emotional moment with grieving mother He shared the footage to TikTok, titled “This job makes me cry sometimes,” as it soon went viral.

One of the passengers left the vehicle and thanked him, and the female passenger then took his hand and said: “You know what? Look after yourself, You’re a champion.” As the two are shown going to walk away, the woman then decides to knock on Bade’s window, who soon winds it down. “I lost my son last year, and you remind me so much of my son,” she emotionally revealed, he then leaned over to give her a hug, where she kissed him on his forehead and they said their goodbyes.

Uber driver charges $150 after providing “fake” passenger vomit photos – Dexerto
Uber driver charges $150 after providing “fake” passenger vomit photos TikTok: lilmiapradoA woman is going viral on TikTok after claiming that an Uber driver tried to charge her $150 for throwing up in his car – but the photo he provided wasn’t even the same car she traveled in. Uber is wildly popular as a modern substitute for taxi services, hiring independent drivers to pick people up in their cars- which, if you’re lucky, can be “hella nice BMW’s” – and deliver them to their desired locations. But Uber has rules in place to protect passengers and drivers, and with Uber often being used by late-night party-goers, one of these rules is a cleaning fee. If their car is ruined or dirtied by the passengers, a driver can charge them a “cleaning fee” to help them clean up the mess in their vehicle. But TikToker @lilmiaprado had a nasty surprise two days after what she thought was a peaceful Uber ride home with her friends. “Hold up… this isn’t even the same car?” Mia’s story starts like a usual Uber ride home after a night out: “Me and my girls call an Uber home at 5am.” She was pleasantly surprised by the journey home, being driven in a “hella nice BMW Uber X,” conversing with their driver, who seemed like a “nice college kid.” But two days later, Mia checked her phone to see she had received an unexpected notification – a $150 Uber “cleaning fee.” She was immediately shocked, remembering the journey home, but she “didn’t think anyone made a mess.” But Mia checked with her friends, who reassured her that no one made any mess: “Nothing happened during the ride.” So Mia contacted Uber and asked for photo proof. The photo they sent showed “hella gross throw-up on the side door.” But that wasn’t the only thing that shocked her, as she realized, “HOLD UP… THIS ISN’T EVEN THE SAME CAR WE WERE IN.” Viewers commented on her TikTok to let Mia know that she wasn’t the only one to experience this: “this happened to me and I dead contacted them sayin I don’t throw up bc I have a fear of it,” one person complained. But while people have bad experiences with Uber, others have had some pretty cool ones – like this driver who had videogames built into his car seats.

Uber driver blasted for allegedly complaining about rider in wheelchair TIKTOK: karleexroseeA woman went viral on TikTok after claiming that her Uber driver complained about her wheelchair, sparking a debate. TikToker Karlee (karleexrosee), who uses a wheelchair, shared a video from her Uber ride claiming that her driver ‘sighed’ and ‘complained’ about it. “I love when Ubers sigh and complain about my wheelchair when I get into the car and then we sit in silence,” she wrote in a text overlaying the eight-second clip. Karlee also alleged that her driver cleaned his hands after loading the chair into the car. “He wiped his hands after putting it in,” she wrote in the caption of the video, which went viral with over 494,000 views and 62,000 likes. Her experience sparked a debate in the comment section. TikTok reacts to Uber driver complaining about wheelchair Some TikTok users sided with Karlee, sharing their own issues with disabilities or additional needs in a rideshare. “I hate when Ubers complain about a necessity or even give a look,” another shared. “I have to take a car seat with me and they get mad they have to wait for me to install it.” “Been there and it’s one of the most awkward things. Not him trying to tell me that my chair doesn’t fit in his car,” a third said. Others, however, tried to defend the driver. “So you’re telling me I should never dust my hands off after touching/moving something,” one commented. “He saw that you’re unlikely to tip him and is upset that he has to spend more time not making money,” another suggested. In a follow-up video, Karlee said she would not have minded if the driver simply said he couldn’t take her wheelchair. However, she deemed picking her up and then giving her such treatment as “disrespectful.” For more entertainment news and other viral stories, make sure to head over to our hub.

According to gigirao, the ride with the Uber driver she took with her boyfriend was fine, saying he wasn’t not being weird at all. After she got home at around 12:50 at night, she went to bed and the next morning, she checked her Ring camera and found the disturbing footage. (click here if TikTok fails to load) TikToker catches Uber driver in her home At 1:40 once gigirao had gone to sleep, footage showed the Uber driver in her apartment, and even scarier is the fact he creepily stood in the door frame for some time. “I don’t know what his intentions were if my door wasn’t locked in my room. He didn’t steal anything, which is weird, because we had so many valuables out and stuff,” she alleged. “I walked out of my room and saw my living area screen had been cut open.” She went on to say that the man never realized there was a Ring camera in the apartment, because of the way he entered, so she may have been quite lucky in that regard. (click here if TikTok fails to load) The TikToker revealed she called the police and the cops came to her home to investigate. Uber, however, “hasn’t done anything” yet according to gigirao. An investigation is currently ongoing and the TikToker has yet to share any additional updates on the case. Nonetheless, it’s certainly a very scary incident and many viewers are encouraging Uber to take action.

Tyson Fury’s boxing trainer wants to train Justin Bieber – Dexerto
Tyson Fury’s boxing trainer wants to train Justin Bieber Instagram: Tyson Fury/YouTube: Justin BieberTyson Fury’s trainer Sugar Hill Steward has been eyeing up another potential novice. The boxing pro claimed that he would love to train none other than pop music star Justin Bieber. Two-time world heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury has faced some formidable opponents in his career including most recently Deontay Wilder and Dillian Whyte. Not to mention, he’s even faced a challenge from YouTube Logan Paul. However, one person who has helped The Gipsy King become one of the toughest fighters in the ring is professional boxing trainer and former police officer Sugar Hill Steward. Having helped Fury on his way to stardom, Steward claims that there is one trainee he’d love to take on. Swapping the mic for the gloves, Steward is looking to train singer Justin Bieber. Steward believes Bieber would “get on well” as a boxer Speaking to Betway, Steward said that he would “definitely” take on Bieber as a trainee. He compared it to when his uncle, boxing trainer legend Emanuel Stewart, partly trained rap icon, Eminem. “I like to teach and it doesn’t matter who I teach at this point. I just like teaching, I enjoy it,” Steward explained. “I would be very open to not only teaching Justin Bieber how to box but teaching him how to knock guys out. “I think he’d get on well. He’s a successful entertainer so he’s worked hard to get to this point. Being in camp would not be anything less than he’s been doing his whole life. In my training camp, we also have fun. It’s about having fun. It will be hard work but it’ll be fun. It’s a family-oriented gym.” Steward admitted that seeing Fury and Bieber face each other in the ring is unlikely. Although, he has “other world champions Bieber can get in there with.” He added: “Bieber can learn something from being in the ring and sparring with champions […] We’ve had world champions boxing with pure novices, doesn’t matter. It’s not about beating them up, it’s about teaching them. And at the same time, the champion can work on something himself.” Bieber hasn’t publicly responded to Steward’s comments, as of writing. However, with One Direction’s Liam Payne claiming that he would be up for a showdown with the ‘Baby’ singer, he could consider the offer.

Tyson Fury wants 60-year-old dad to fight Jake Paul in bizarre clash – Dexerto
Tyson Fury wants 60-year-old dad to fight Jake Paul in bizarre clash YouTube: Jake Paul/IFL TVBoxing’s heavyweight king Tyson Fury urged Jake Paul to fight his dad, 60-year-old John Fury in a bare-knuckle pay-per-view clash as the YouTuber looks for his next fight. Ever since Jake Paul started trading verbal jabs with Tommy Fury across Twitter, the whole Fury family has become entangled in their never-ending war of words. The YouTuber-turned-boxer has, at times, gone after Tyson Fury – boxing’s heavyweight king – by criticizing his fights and even suggesting that the pair should box. Tyson has never been shy in replying either, and has constantly hit back at Jake’s claims. Jake has also gotten into things with John Fury – Tommy and Tyson’s dad, and trainer – over contracts. They also caused quite a scene at the Mayweather vs Deji event, with John ripping off his t-shirt and trying to front up to Jake, who was at ringside. Tyson Fury wants Jake Paul to fight John Fury While there is quite a considerable age difference between Jake and John, Tyson would be interested in seeing them fight, as he believes it would be quite the “spectacle.” That’s what boxing’s heavyweight king told Ariel Helwani during his appearance on The MMA Hour anyway, as he was asked if Jake or John had a better chance in a fight as things stand. “I think my dad would rip his heart out and feed it to him and the man is nearly 60 years old,” Tyson said. “I think my dad and Jake Paul should have a bare-knuckle fight to the end. That would be a spectacle and I would give $100 to see it, pay-per-view.” Fury’s distinction about it not being a boxing match would, if they chose to explore that possibility, mean the two parties wouldn’t have to get it sanctioned by a boxing board. At the end of the day, though, it’s very unlikely it ever happens, even if Tyson wants it to. Jake has got multiple fight offers out there with opponents as he eyes a return to the ring for next year.

Tyson Fury threatens to ‘backhand’ Logan & Jake Paul ahead of Tommy Fury fight – Dexerto
Tyson Fury threatens to ‘backhand’ Logan & Jake Paul ahead of Tommy Fury fight YouTube: BT Sport/Instagram: Jake PaulHeavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury threatened to hit Logan and Jake Paul with the back of his hand as the build-up to Jake’s fight with Tommy Fury ramps up. When Jake Paul and Tommy Fury kicked off their online war of words, many fans doubted that the pair would ever lock horns in the middle of the boxing ring given Jake was fighting former MMA stars and basketball players. Tommy appeared on the undercard of Jake’s win over Tyron Woodley, and after picking a win up himself, the Brit has become the next challenger to the YouTuber’s undefeated boxing streak. Given he’s got some world-class boxing pedigree on his side in the form of brother Tyson Fury and dad John, the feud has developed into a full-on family affair. Tyson, the two-time heavyweight champion, has come under fire from both Jake and his brother Logan who have claimed they’ll step into the ring with him – though, he’s having none of it. The 33-year-old was, once again, in the firing line during November 24 press conference for Jake and Tommy’s December 18th clash, where he had some choice words for the YouTubers. After Jake took shots at Tommy, John, and Tyson, the latter fired back with a threat. “I’ve been brought in to be abused, have I? F**king hell, I’ve done nothing. I’ve been brought in to be abused by some f**king p**sies,” he said. “Listen, I will take the back of my hand to him and his brother and his whole family and his bl**job trainer as well, BJ Flores. They’re not fighters, and when Tommy knocks him into next week then knocks his brother into next week, you’ll find out.” Timestamp of 16:10 As the part online, part in-person press conference descended into shouting and further threats, Tyson did poke fun at Jake for not promoting the bout. “He hasn’t really done anything. I’m waiting for this master of sales to do something,” he quipped. Jake stated that the heavyweight champion has done more to sell the fight than his brother, but they’ll settle things in the ring, in Florida rather than over the microphone.

Tyson Fury responds to Logan Paul’s fight challenge – Dexerto
Tyson Fury responds to Logan Paul’s fight challenge YouTube: Impaulsive / iFL TVHeavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury has responded to YouTuber Logan Paul’s challenge to a fight, ahead of younger brother Tommy’s bout against Jake Paul on December 18. After months of going back and forth with challenges over social media, the date for a fight between Tommy Fury and Jake Paul was finally set for December 18, and tensions are already ramping up. But they aren’t the only Fury & Paul duo to bump heads in the lead up to the fight, with Tyson Fury and Logan Paul in their respective brother’s corner, helping them train for the fight. On November 10, Logan challenged Tyson to a match of their own. “Tyson, after my brother knocks your brother out, I’m coming for that ass, I swear to god I’m gonna take you down, I don’t care if I need a f**king tractor,” he said. “Gypsy King will fall.” Many didn’t think much of Logan’s chances against the heavyweight champ, and others thought that the YouTuber was simply trolling as his brother had done similar previously. Now, Tyson has responded to Logan’s callout in an interview with iFL TV. When asked whether he thinks Jake should stop making his callouts so personal by bringing friends and family into the mix, Tyson replied: “I don’t really care. He better keep his girlfriend on a leash, ’cause you know when big T’s in town, f**king they’re not safe, lock up your women and hide your men, ’cause we’re coming to Florida. Well, I am anyway.” “Jake Paul and his brother are two p**sies,” he went on to say. “So, Tommy could beat them both on one night.” Topic starts at 2:01 When Fury was told that the elder Paul brother had challenged him, he responded: “Logan can suck my b*lls. Yeah but, Tommy would batter them both. I’m sure when he beats the one brother, the other one will wanna fight him, and then he can fight him as well.” It looks like a Logan vs. Tyson bout is off the cards for now, but depending on how the December 18 fight goes, there looks to be a chance that Tommy could step into the ring with Logan.

Tyson Fury invites Jake Paul to fight Tommy Fury on his undercard vs Usyk – Dexerto
Tyson Fury invites Jake Paul to fight Tommy Fury on his undercard vs Usyk YouTube: IFL TV/Jake PaulBoxing superstar Tyson Fury has offered to give Jake Paul and Tommy Fury a spot on the undercard for his next event as the pair have yet to agree on a deal for a fight. At the end of October, Jake Paul returned to the boxing ring, defeating MMA legend Anderson ‘The Spider’ Silva to improve his undefeated record to 6-0 and called out a few potential opponents in the aftermath. Of course, his longtime rival Tommy Fury immediately jumped out, with fans wanting to see the two finally square off. While Jake has put his foot down and tried to make negotiations happen pretty swiftly, that hasn’t been the case to this point. The ‘Problem Child’ is eyeing up a fight in early 2023 as he’s eager to get back in the ring. He’s even offered to travel to the UK to make it happen, given that Tommy can’t travel to the United States. Tyson Fury wants Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury on his next boxing card Well, in a new twist, Tyson Fury has offered to put the fight on his next boxing card as he, like many others, wants to see it happen. The heavyweight boxing king was asked about Jake and Tommy following his win over Derek Chisora and urged the pair to fight. “I think they should fight, it is a fight that the general, everyday casual boxing person would like to see,” Fury said. “It’s a fight that Tommy wants and Jake wants, so yeah, I think that fight should happen in 2023. Maybe it could be on the undercard of me and Usyk, who knows?” Timestamp of 1:50 As Fury himself has said, he’s eyeing up a fight with Oleksandr Usyk in February or March, and has already floated the idea of it happening either at Wembley on Saudi Arabia. While Jake would probably not want to play second fiddle to him on the card, it would certainly bring him to the attention of a more mainstream boxing audience, and put him in front of his biggest crowd ever. Though, we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

Tyson Fury praises Jake & Logan Paul as “breath of fresh air” for boxing Instagram: Tyson Fury / Instagram: Jake PaulLegendary boxer Tyson Fury has heaped praise onto both Jake Paul and Logan Paul, commending their efforts and calling them a “breath of fresh air” for the combat sport. There’s no denying the Paul brothers have drawn a lot of attention to the boxing scene in recent years. From initial scraps with fellow social media influencers to worldwide spectacles with the sport’s biggest stars, their impact has grown over time. After drawing praise from the likes of Mike Tyson – boxing’s heavyweight icon that may even be sizing Logan up for a future bout – the brothers have now caught the attention of Tyson Fury. Ahead of his trilogy fight with Deontay Wilder, Fury took time to compliment the internet celebs. “I think he’s a decent fighter for sure,” he said in regards to Jake during a TMZ interview. “I’ve been pretty impressed with the Paul’s, both of them to be fair.” View this post on Instagram Having drawn millions of eyes to the sport through their exhibition bouts and celebrity showcases, the Paul’s are a “really good breath of fresh air to the boxing scene,” according to Fury. “Fantastic guys, well done,” he added. While he had nothing but praise for their efforts in the space, Fury did touch on a potential family clash down the line. After Tommy Fury, Tyson’s younger brother, called out Jake in March, the idea was quickly scrapped. “The desperation is seeping through the pores of the Fury family,” Paul said at the time. He even added an extra barb too: “It’s quite embarrassing.” Months removed from the initial callout, Tyson Fury appears confident the clash will happen. “[They’ve] had a lot of back and forth so I’m sure it’s going to happen soon.” As for who would win the fight, of course he sided with his brother, assuring Tommy would “knock [Jake] out cold.” In the immediate future, Jake has a tough challenge ahead of him as he gears up for a fight with former UFC champion Tyron Woodley. Down the line though, it certainly appears the Fury family is eager to step in the ring with the Pauls — we’ll see if it really does happen, in the end.

Tyson Fury claims Jake Paul needs Tommy Fury after “pathetic” Tyron Woodley PPV – Dexerto
Tyson Fury claims Jake Paul needs Tommy Fury after “pathetic” Tyron Woodley PPV YouTube: Queensberry Promotions/Instagram: Jake PaulBoxing superstar Tyson Fury claims that Jake Paul “needs” to fight Tommy Fury after his bout with Tyron Woodley drew “pathetic” numbers on pay-per-view. Since stepping into the world of boxing, Jake Paul has picked plenty of fights with other fighters, usually leading to a barrage of spicy Twitter posts and interview callouts. Arguably his most personal beef has been with British boxer and reality TV star Tommy Fury, as the pair have traded many verbal jabs over the last year or so. They were even scheduled to finally trade physical jabs inside the ring, though, the Brit pulled out of their clash due to injury. Tyron Woodley stepped in to face Jake in place of Tommy, leading to the YouTuber scoring a pretty impressive knockout victory. While Jake has stated he has no intentions of rescheduling the fight with Tommy, Tyson Fury believes it needs to happen. The heavyweight king, who had been helping Tommy train for the fight with Jake, took shots at the buy rate of the Paul vs Woodley 2 clash, calling it “pathetic” and claimed that Tommy would have boosted it. “The mistake that people make is trying to make everyone happy and you can’t. That’s his business and his injury, so when he gets over that he’ll get back boxing,” Tyson told Queensberry Promotions about Tommy’s injury and immediate boxing future. “Frank’s going to keep him busy this year and hopefully he gets the fights he wants and he fights. “It’s quite clear to see now that Jake Paul needs Tommy Fury. Jake Paul did 60,000 buys against his last opponent, which is pathetic. If he’d have fought Tommy, it would’ve been in the millions.” Timestamp of 6:50 Tyson also noted that Tommy “wants” the fight to happen, but if it doesn’t, he’s pushing the blame towards Jake’s side of the deal. “I know it’s not through Tommy. Tommy wants to fight, he wants to get it back on but I don’t think they fancy it, so it is what it is. They’re good for what they do and at what they do and that’s it,” he added. It remains to be seen if the fight will ever be rescheduled, but as it stands, Jake isn’t thinking about getting back into the ring until the back end of 2022.

Tyson Fury confirmed to be in Tommy Fury’s corner for Jake Paul boxing match – Dexerto
Tyson Fury confirmed to be in Tommy Fury’s corner for Jake Paul boxing match Instagram: JakePaul / Karen Priestley for SplashNews.comJake Paul’s upcoming clash with British star Tommy Fury just got a little more interesting as The Gypsy King Tyson Fury himself is confirmed to be in the corner of his younger brother. After months of back and forth, public negotiations, and ridiculous wagers, Paul and Fury finally have a date. The two rising boxing stars are set to clash in Florida on Saturday, December 18. For Paul, this marks his fifth time stepping between the ropes as a professional while Fury comes in with seven victories to his name. Although the former comes from a background in entertainment, the latter comes from an iconic boxing family. With Fury’s dad already claiming his boxing career is “over” if he loses to Paul, the stakes are clearly high. As a result, the 22-year-old has called in some backup. The 33-0 heavyweight champ, his older brother Tyson Fury, has been locked in as a cornerman for the fight. View this post on Instagram “All it is with Tommy… he’s young, can he handle a big occasion on the night?” John Fury asked himself in a recent interview with BTSport. In order to help when the lights are shining brightest, Tommy will “have the King in his corner,” his dad confirmed. “Tyson is gonna be in his corner that night.” Therefore, assuming the fight makes it out of the first round, Tommy will have one of the most accomplished boxers in history to ask for advice. Not only that, but the up-and-coming boxing star will also have some extra help from The Gypsy King. “Tyson is flying out in a few weeks to help him out,” their dad said. Read More: Will Jake & Logan Paul move to MMA? – “Whatever desire he’s missing, Tyson will put there. I’m sure of that. Tyson will sort his head out.

Even former UFC champ Michael Bisping is confident Paul will come away with the win. We’ll just have to wait and see how the action unfolds when these two finally clash on December 18.

Tyron Woodley urges KSI accept poll results for next boxing opponent and fight him – Dexerto
Tyron Woodley urges KSI accept poll results for next boxing opponent and fight him YouTube: BS w/ Jake PaulFormer UFC champ Tyron Woodley has called out YouTube star KSI for a boxing match after the influencer created a poll asking fans who he should fight next — and Tyron came out on top. Tyron Woodley is intimately familiar with the world of influencer boxing. On top of his lauded career as a four-time UFC champ, he’s taken on one of the net’s biggest stars in the boxing ring two times: Jake Paul. Paul won their first match by split-decision in August 2021, and the two touched gloves once again later that year for a rematch that Jake took by knockout in the sixth round. After defeating Tyron Woodley twice over, Paul struggled to lock down an opponent in 2022, but finally signed a contract to box MMA legend Anderson Silva this October, despite having his eyes set on KSI. KSI has also recently gotten back into the boxing ring, defeating British rapper Swarmz and Mexican pro boxer Luis Pindea in a single night… but fans want him to take on Tyron Woodley next. On September 14, KSI published a poll asking his fans who he should pick for his next bout, providing options between Woodley, mixed martial artist Dillon Danis, YouTube-boxer Slim Albaher, and influencer-boxer-licensed doctor, Doctor Mike. Woodley came out on top with 38% of the votes. Jake Paul brought up KSI’s poll during a September 29 episode of his ‘BS’ podcast, which featured Woodley as a celebrity guest. After discussing the results of the poll, Woodley couldn’t help but officially put KSI up to the test. Tyron Woodley challenges KSI to boxing match: “Sign the paperwork” “I was the most voted? He gotta fight me then,” he challenged. “If he got a lot of votes on it, and he put it out there to see… I mean, I can do that and get away with it, but you guys can’t, because y’all whole s**t is like, ‘I won’t do this. I bet you I will f**king do it,’ right? You gotta put yourself out there because it’s kinda the world y’all live in.” “If he put a whole poll out, and everybody wants to see me fight him, then why would you put the poll out and not fight?” he asked. “Sign the paperwork. It’s easy for me.” (Topic begins at 24:45) This isn’t the first time Tyron and KSI have clashed; the two lashed out at each other on Twitter after Jake urged KSI to fight Tyron earlier this month, with KSI joking that Jake had Tyron “on a leash.” For now, it’s unclear who KSI will be facing off with next — but if his current feud with Dillon Danis is anything to go by, it’s looking like a bout between these two stars is most likely to happen.

Tyron Woodley warns Jake Paul ‘may not fight again’ after their bout – Dexerto
Tyron Woodley warns Jake Paul ‘may not fight again’ after their bout Instagram: Jake Paul/WikiMedia: Gage SkidmoreFormer UFC champion Tyron Woodley sent a stark message to Jake Paul ahead of their fight, suggesting it might be the last time the YouTuber laces up his gloves. As YouTuber boxing started to blow up, Jake Paul first squared off against Deji as his brother Logan fought KSI. He’s come a long way since then, however. After beating Nate Robinson and MMA star Ben Askren, Jake is now preparing to take on former UFC champion Tyron Woodley who is, undoubtedly, a different prospect from what he’s faced before. Woodley might not be able to use his signature takedowns or submission in the boxing bout, but he retains strong striking power. He believes he’s going to use that and keep Paul from fighting in the future. Speaking to Ariel Helwani on the MMA Hour, the former UFC champ stated that there is “more pressure” on Jake than himself to get the job done come fight night but he’s aiming to make a statement of his own. “This was my lifestyle before it became a sport, before it became a career. This was a bucket list thing he wanted to try, his following allowed him to do so. But this is in my DNA, it’s all I’ve been doing since I was a kid,” Woodley told Helwani. The 39-year-old questioned if the YouTuber would be able to match his heart and go that extra mile when the going gets tough. “I’m here to f***ing takeover. You’re gonna see Jake Paul get hurt in a way you’d never imagine. He may not want to do this again after this,” he added. Timestamp of 3:30 Given his formidable MMA record and impressive striking power, its no surprise that Woodley is supremly confident heading into the August 29 fight. Jake, of course, is backing himself to pick himself to win, and in dominant fashion too, so it’s going to be an incredibly interesting contest.

Tyron Woodley to train with Floyd Mayweather ahead of fight with Jake Paul – Dexerto
Tyron Woodley to train with Floyd Mayweather ahead of fight with Jake Paul Instagram, @twooodley, @floydmayweather, @jakepaulUFC star Tyron Woodley has happily accepted boxing legend Floyd Mayweather’s offer to train ahead of his fight against YouTuber Jake Paul. Tyron Woodley is a former UFC Welterweight Champion, who held the belt for about three years before finally losing it to Kamaru Usman in his fifth title defense. An understandably renowned fighter, many are rooting for the 39-year-old to end Jake Paul’s undefeated boxing streak on August 28. One such person rooting for Woodley is Floyd Mayweather Jr., one of the greatest boxers of all time and the opponent for Jake’s older brother, Logan, on June 6. After Mayweather mentioned to reporters that he would like to help Woodley train to defeat Jake, the latter has told media that the camp is real and “definitely” going to happen. Calling Floyd “the greatest boxer of all time,” Woodley appears ready to learn from the 50-0 legend. https://twitter.com/sftynetwork/status/1400603621415337985?s=21 “Give me Tyron Woodley. I’m gonna make sure I get in camp and I’m gonna train him for this fight.” As Mayweather told media, he not only expects Woodley to defeat the 24-year-old Jake, but he wants to help him train to do so. Undefeated in the ring, Mayweather is obviously a strong presence to learn from — even as some question the 44-year-old’s ability to beat the 26-year-old Logan. Like Woodley, Mayweather is decades older, inches shorter, and pounds lighter than his opponent. He’s also, like Woodley, much more experienced in combat sports. The parallels are there and the MMA fighter seems eager to accept the boxer’s training offer. Talking to reporters, Woodley confirmed that the Mayweather camp is a certainty: “I just talked to him today. For sure, why would I not train with the greatest boxer of all-time? He’s already my dog. We’ve been talking about training anyways, so for sure, definitely going to take him up on that.”

Tyron Woodley slams KSI for “bailing” on fight with him – Dexerto
Tyron Woodley slams KSI for “bailing” on fight with him YouTube: BS w/ Jake Paul, JJ OlatunjiUFC star Tyron Woodley has exposed his supposed contract with YouTuber KSI, slamming the influencer for “bailing” on a fight with him in favor of a “lesser opponent.” KSI is set to announce his next opponent this Saturday, November 19 — and Tyron Woodley is saying that it won’t be him. That’s the same day as the next Misfits Boxing x DAZN card, which features a headlining bout between Hasim Rahman Jr vs Greg Hardy among other fights between online personalities. While fans are convinced that KSI will be fighting pro boxer Joe Fournier, Tyron Woodley has claimed that he was set to take on the YouTuber, first. Tyron Woodley exposes fight contract with KSI Woodley called out KSI in a damning Instagram post on November 17 where he included a screenshot of their supposed fight contract. “KSI, why would you offer me a fight vs you then bail?” the former UFC champ asked. “Why would you send me a contract to b**ch out and take a lesser opponent? Why would you have my name in your mouth for two years and not step up?” “Why do a poll of one million people, that all said fight me, and you run? We need answers. Now y’all go troll the troll. Saturday he will announce he ran.” Woodley’s post references a Twitter poll that KSI conducted after his two-fights, one-night event against Swarmz and Luis Pineda in August, where he asked fans who he should take on next. The response was overwhelmingly geared toward Woodley, who openly accepted the challenge during an episode of Jake Paul’s podcast. However, according to him, KSI has bowed out of a fight that they’d purportedly signed off on. For now, it’s looking like KSI will be stepping into the ring with pro boxer Joe Fournier — a fight that was leaked in early October in a supposed fight poster from DAZN.

Tyron Woodley tells Jake Paul to “send the contract” for rematch after tattoo guidelines – Dexerto
Tyron Woodley tells Jake Paul to “send the contract” for rematch after tattoo guidelines Jake Paul Instagram / SecondsOut YouTubeThe fight between Tyron Woodley and Jake Paul ended in a split decision in favor of The Problem Child, but now there’s the issue about the loser’s tattoo – and talks of a rematch have sparked. In one of the press events for Woodley v Paul, the YouTuber raised the stakes on the former MMA world champ. The loser of the bout would have the ‘I love [the match’s winner’s name] forever inked on their body. While Woodley doesn’t sound like he’s going to get a tattoo of Paul anytime soon, he’s willing to formally accept the bet – if he gets another shot at a fight, that is. After Paul was named the victor of the August 29 face-off, the 24-year-old fighter gave the guidelines for the tattoo that wants to see on Woodley. Send the contract son. Daddy will put your name next to all my other kids — Tyron T-Wood Woodley (@TWooodley) August 31, 2021 “Tyron’s tattoo guidelines: 3×2 inches at least. Can’t get it covered. Permanent. Must post on social media. Has to be visible with shorts and shirt on,” Paul said, laying down what he wants to see in the ink-work. But that’s when Woodley came back to raise the stakes. “Send the contract, son. Daddy will put your name next to all my other kids,” Woodley retorted. By the looks of it, Woodley is down to put ink on the line but wants it as a stipulation for any possible rematch that could be in the cards against Jake. (Timestamp at 6:53 for mobile viewers) After his loss to Paul, Woodley said in his post-game conference that “it’s done, we’re doing a rematch.” If that comes to pass, then Woodley wants to see “paperwork for the rematch.” That sounds like he’s down to get inked but there’d have to be ironclad language, and possibly even an agreed upon design, in the contract to make it happen. Well, Paul isn’t one to back down from a challenge and Woodley wants another shot at the young YouTuber – so we might have another fight in the cards to see who gets inked.

Tyron Woodley reveals he’s not retiring after being knocked out by Jake Paul – Dexerto
Tyron Woodley reveals he’s not retiring after being knocked out by Jake Paul TMZ SportsTyron Woodley opened up about his future plans after his second devastating loss to Jake Paul. He revealed that he is not retiring after being knocked out by the YouTuber-turned boxer. The Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley 2 boxing event on December 18 came to a surprising conclusion when the ‘Problem Child’ knocked the former UFC champion out cold in the sixth round. Following his KO loss, Woodley spoke out about retirement. According to the MMA legend, he has no plans of stepping down anytime soon and instead has some interesting fight plans already lined up. Tyron Woodley won’t retire after being knocked out by Jake Paul The former UFC champion spoke to TMZ Sports after the anticipated sequel rematch ended in dramatic fashion. Woodley opened up about how he was feeling after being knocked out and losing to Jake Paul for the second time. “I am bummed obviously, I didn’t wanna lose,” he said. “I felt like I was winning the fight. But just one f**king hand drop. And I’m looking at it, why did I drop my hands? That’s driving me crazy.” The MMA star then revealed what was next for his career. “I just wanna do four different forms of combat sports,” he continued. “One being boxing, at least one time. One MMA, for sure. And just finish out like a winner.” Based on the interview, Tyron Woodley doesn’t want his career to be defined by his two losses to the Problem Child and is looking to win at least a few more fights before hanging up his gloves. Jake Paul was originally set to fight Tommy Fury on December 18, but the UFC star stepped up for a rematch following the British boxer pulling out of the match due to a rib injury.

Tyron Woodley slams “b*tch” Jake Paul for running from boxing rematch – Dexerto
Tyron Woodley slams “b*tch” Jake Paul for running from boxing rematch Instagram: Tyron Woodley/Jake PaulFormer UFC star Tyron Woodley has taken swipes at Jake Paul for ‘running’ from a boxing rematch following the YouTuber’s split decision win back in August. Back in August, Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley finally put an end to their social media beef by stepping inside the boxing ring and slugging it out in an eight-round bout. While some fans claimed Woodley had the better of the two fighters – even having Paul on the ropes at one point – it was the YouTuber who scored the split decision victory. On top of that, as per their pre-fight bet, the former UFC champion was forced to get an ‘I love Jake Paul’ tattoo in the hopes of getting a rematch. That tattoo has proven to be a source of controversy as well, with Jake suggesting that the way Woodley has had the tattoo done in such a way that he can turn it around to say ‘F**k Jake Paul’ at any point. As a result, the YouTuber stated that this is a loophole and it cast further doubts over a rematch. Jake has moved on from the bout, scheduling a long-awaited clash with Tommy Fury – which has also produced some heated moments online and in their pre-fight conferences. Speaking to MMAJunkie, Woodley blasted Jake for having ‘run’ from their rematch to fight Tommy instead. “Jake Paul is a b*tch. He didn’t want to fight, like, ‘You did it too late.’ No, you just didn’t want to fight, and they gave you a way out, and you took it and ran.” The former Welterweight champion stated that the YouTuber acted “like a kid in a playground when they know they didn’t really win.” He added: “Most people that watched the fight felt like I won the fight. I really didn’t walk away a loser in the fight.” With a rematch not looking likely, Woodley noted that he’s the “only free agent in combat sports” and can do whatever he wants. He’ll be stepping back into the MMA before long, but who knows if he’ll be strapping the boxing gloves on anytime soon.

Tyron Woodley reveals Jake Paul fight went ahead without drug testing for steroids – Dexerto
Tyron Woodley reveals Jake Paul fight went ahead without drug testing for steroids Amanda Wescott / SHOWTIMEHours after Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley fought to a split decision in their highly anticipated boxing match, the former UFC champion has revealed there was no testing for Performance Enhancing Drugs (PEDs). After months of building to their PPV clash, Jake Paul was ultimately declared the winner via split decision over Tyron Woodley. While a rematch was immediately agreed upon in the ring, it remains unclear if a second bout will go ahead right away. Despite it being a fairly close affair, Woodley was quick to reignite a contentious talking point once all was said and done. Were the two fighters tested for PEDs in the legally sanctioned bout? The pair went back and forth in light of heated allegations before the fight, but now, Woodley has revealed the truth. It turns out, no, they weren’t. “No we didn’t f***ing get tested,” the decorated mixed martial artist told Ariel Helwani in an August 30 interview. Employees of the local athletic commission supposedly “came in the dressing room” as both fighters were preparing for the main event. However, they were only there to take urine samples, according to Woodley. They took said samples and Woodley explicitly asked “is this a drug test? The guy taking the samples said he didn’t know.” Even if the urine sample was related to a drug test of sorts, and not just a regular health checkup to ensure they’re in fighting condition, Woodley questioned the timing of it. “Why the f*** would it matter if the results come back on Tuesday? We already fought on Sunday. If it said I wasn’t deemed fit to fight… I already fought.” View this post on Instagram Having been tested dozens of times as part of the UFC’s drug-testing program with the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), it’s fair to say Woodley knows the process as well as any fighter. So as his sample was collected for the Paul bout, he even called out the employees handling the process. “I said hold up, that isn’t even sealed correctly. It was real weird.” Read More: Did Jake Paul retire from boxing? – If that wasn’t suspicious enough, another perspective was thrown into the mix shortly before the PPV event kicked off. “They only drug test for title fights,” Helwani was allegedly informed by the Ohio Athletic Commission. Woodley’s comments on drug testing begin at the 20:15 No blood tests were involved to check for illicit substances or irregular testosterone levels. Instead, a urine test was all that came into play, Woodley confirmed. It’s worth noting that this was Woodley’s experience only. The former UFC champ admitted he had “no clue” if Paul’s testing experience was the same. Not the first time a Paul brother has been accused of abusing PEDs, Logan also came under fire ahead of his scrap with Floyd Mayweather.

Tyron Woodley pops off on KSI for ducking fight amid FaZe Temperrr pick – Dexerto
Tyron Woodley pops off on KSI for ducking fight amid FaZe Temperrr pick YouTube: GQ Sports, JJ OlatunjiFormer UFC champ Tyron Woodley gave YouTube star KSI a piece of his mind, claiming the British influencer ducked out of a fight with him after securing a new opponent in FaZe Temperrr. It’s been a rough 24 hours for British entertainer KSI. The influencer was slated to face off against American mixed martial artist Dillon Danis on January 14 — but despite months of trash talk, Danis suddenly and inexplicably pulled out of the fight on January 4. This is far from the first time this has happened to KSI. He was scheduled to box American YouTuber Alex Wassabi in August 2022, only for his opponent to acquire an injury severe enough that he couldn’t step in the ring. Luckily, KSI was able to secure another opponent after Danis’ recent exit and is now slated to touch gloves with fellow creator FaZe Temperrr… but not everyone is happy with his pick. Tyron Woodley calls out KSI for ducking fight contract Most notably, former UFC champ Tyron Woodley is calling out the British YouTube star on Twitter, accusing him of backing out of a contract he’d sent over. “You a whole b*tch!” Woodley wrote in a pointed tweet. “@KSI No one picked up the phone to execute the contract you sent me. Needed NO NOTICE! @Temperrr You a G! All Love to you. You my brother! Whip this hoe’s a**.” This is far from the first time Woodley has accused KSI of ducking out on him; he made similar comments in late 2022 on Jake Paul’s podcast, claiming the YouTuber had been avoiding a fight with him for some time. Woodley isn’t the only one flaming KSI for his recent choice in opponent, either. YouTuber Slim Albaher is also calling out the British internet star for taking on Temperrr, an influencer Slim beat last year on the undercard of KSI’s ‘Two Fights, One Night’ event. “I feel like I deserved that main event opportunity,” he wrote on Twitter, before following up with, “I want the winner.” Thus far, KSI’s main rival, Jake Paul, has yet to weigh in on the situation — and there’s still no word on when, or if, those two will even meet in the boxing ring this year.

Tyron Woodley is finally getting that Jake Paul bet tattoo, but he has some rules – Dexerto
Tyron Woodley is finally getting that Jake Paul bet tattoo, but he has some rules Instagram: Tyron Woodley / Jake PaulAfter losing his professional boxing debut match against Jake Paul, Tyron Woodley is following through with the bet they agreed upon and getting Jake’s name tattooed onto his body. Jake Paul went into the fight against former UFC Welterweight champion Tyron Woodley as the favorite, and he proved the bookies right with an impressive split-decision win. However, he thought it should have been a unanimous decision. Woodley, on the other hand, thought it was much closer. He demanded a rematch right after the fight. Jake seemed hesitant at first but accepted the offer on the grounds that Woodley tattoos his name on his body. Jake posted his terms on social media. He demanded that the tattoo needs to be 3 x 2 inches, permanent, visible with shorts and a shirt on, cannot be covered, and has to be posted on social media as proof. Woodley responded by telling him to “send the contract.” The rematch hasn’t been locked in yet, and it might not happen for a while. Jake has been linked to fights against Tommy Fury and Vitor Belfort. However, Woodley is still following through with his end of the bargain. “Tommy Fury should have never even been in position for the bag,” Woodley told Ariel Helwani. “I’m gonna just let the week go through and see what happens. I think the most sensible thing to do is run it back.” To help make that happen, he’s finally getting the tattoo they agreed upon. “I think I’m getting this tattoo Saturday. I just feel like I should do it because it’s a solid thing to do. I’m going to do it on Saturday.” Read More: Jake Paul throws jab at Dana White – He isn’t sure where he’ll get the tattoo yet. “I’m gonna think about it,” he said. However, he ruled out two areas and suggested one possibility. “Not neck, not face. I should have put it across my f**king knuckles.” Jake’s next opponent hasn’t been locked in yet. Tommy Fury laughed off his $1 million fight offer, claiming he deserves a better payout for a fight of that magnitude.

Tyron Woodley demands $1m bonus from Jake Paul: “I saved the f**king card” – Dexerto
Tyron Woodley demands $1m bonus from Jake Paul: “I saved the f**king card” Amanda Wescott/SHOWTIMEFormer UFC champion Tyron Woodley is finally getting his rematch against Jake Paul, but believes he deserves more than a $500k knockout bonus for agreeing to take the fight on short notice. Jake Paul’s fight against Tommy Fury was canceled on December 6, with the British boxer pulling out due to an injury. In his place, and in order to keep the pay-per-view card alive, Paul’s previous opponent Tyron Woodley stepped in. However, there has been a lot of controversy prior to Woodley getting his second shot at Paul following his split-decision loss earlier in 2021, especially as the former UFC star agreed to get an “I love Jake Paul” tattoo on the condition that he’d fight again. Now, with the rematch finally booked and all eyes on the upcoming December 18 bout, The Chosen One believes he deserves a big bonus for swooping in at the last moment. Tyron Woodley wants additional $500k from Jake Paul In an interview with ESPN’s Marc Raimondi, Woodley stated that he deserves a lot more of a reward, considering the pay-per-view wouldn’t have gone ahead if Paul couldn’t find another foe. “We need a new bonus. A ‘keeping the hope alive and the card alive’ bonus,” Woodley joked when discussing the $500k knockout bonus. “We need to add that, too.” When pressed on how much he’d like for that, Woodley said he’d like “half a bag” for it, since that’s what Paul was offering if he gets KO’d – meaning he would be getting $1m total combined. He then referenced how in the UFC, Dana White has Fight of the Night, Knockout of the Night, and Performance of the Night bonuses saying that if it weren’t for him, there wouldn’t be a pay-per-view to begin with. “I think we should throw another $500k in there just because all these people would have wasted their time, their training camp, their coaches… Tommy Fury would have caused all of them not to fight,” he added. “The venue, the ticket sales, the refunds, the sponsors, yeah, let’s get another $500k. I saved the f**king card.” It will be very interesting to see what happens when The Problem Child steps back into the ring with The Chosen One and if Tyron can not only avenge his loss, but secure that extra half-a-million by knocking out the undefeated Paul… Especially considering a win would guarantee a third match between the two with an even bigger payday at stake.

Tyron Woodley finally gets a Jake Paul tattoo in hopes of a boxing rematch – Dexerto
Tyron Woodley finally gets a Jake Paul tattoo in hopes of a boxing rematch Instagram, Tyron Woodley/Jake PaulThe recent fight between Tyron Woodley and Jake Paul ended with anger from the Woodley camp. However, when Tyron challenged Jake Paul to a rematch, the YouTuber had something else in mind. When Woodley and Paul first announced their pay-per-view boxing match, they agreed on a fairly unique wager; whoever lost was facing a permanent tattoo chosen by the winner of the fight. After their August 29 bout ended in a split-decision that lead to Woodley losing the fight, the former UFC champ approached Jake Paul and challenged him to a rematch. The YouTuber brought up their tattoo deal again, and said that if Woodley got inked as he promised, that he would “run it back.” View this post on Instagram Tyron Woodley loves Jake Paul Dexerto recently reported that Woodley had agreed to get his tattoo in hopes of securing a rematch with the younger Paul brother. With specific rules of nothing on the face or neck, fans were left wondering when they would see the boxer show off his new ink. On September 27, Woodley surprised all of his fans with an upload to his Instagram account doing just that — showing off his new “I love Jake Paul” finger tattoo. On the post, he added: “I love you son. Now come and get this a** whippin, cause I heard you been talking back to your elders. WHERE YOU AT!?” View this post on Instagram Fans’ reactions to Woodley’s tattoo have been mixed, with some even wondering if the boxer had it drawn on with an ink pen. Somethin dodgy ab this..why the ‘love’ look drew on? Zoom in What happened to it being jakes tattoo artist to do it as well? Not buying this 😂— Dan (@xdanbx10) September 27, 2021 Jake Paul responded to the former UFC champ’s tattoo with an Instagram story. It’s unknown what the youngest Paul brother means with his response. Maybe we’ll hear more from the YouTuber soon. Tyron Woodley seems to have met all of Paul’s tattoo guidelines, but that doesn’t ignore the fact that the mixed martial artist claims Jake is afraid of a rematch, as well as the fact that the YouTuber has been calling out Tommy Fury. Woodley fans are eager to see a rematch between the two fighters, as some may even believe it was rigged after they were met with the split decision.

Tyron Woodley confirms Jake Paul rematch has a third fight clause – Dexerto
Tyron Woodley confirms Jake Paul rematch has a third fight clause IG: Jake Paul / Tyron WoodleyTyron Woodley has revealed that there is a rematch clause in his contract with Jake Paul, seemingly confirming a third bout will take place if the former MMA fighter is victorious on December 18. The December 18 rematch between Tyron Woodley and YouTube star Jake Paul only came to be in early December, when original opponent Tommy Fury was forced to pull out due to injury. The British professional boxer revealed struggles with a chest infection and broken rib, but Paul has blasted him for pulling out so late and suggested the fight won’t take place in the future. Fury’s place was subsequently taken by ex-MMA star Tyron Woodley, who lost narrowly to Jake back in August of 2021. The 39-year-old had been vying for a rematch since the loss, and has finally got his way after Tommy Fury withdrew. However, Woodley has now revealed there could be a third fight in the saga in 2022. Speaking to TMZSports, Woodley confirmed a rematch clause is present in the contract between the two fighters. “I feel like I won the [first] fight,” he said. “But when I go back out there and beat his *ss and win this fight, win by knockout, then go on to a trilogy and do it again and leave no doubt. That’s the real leave no doubt… This is basically what I should have done the first time. The third time [there] will be no doubt.” Because of his allusions to a trilogy, Woodley was directly asked if there was a clause for a rematch. He confirmed there was and if he wins there will “of course” be a third fight. Woodley depicted a third fight as a challenge to Paul, asking whether he will “run” after he is knocked out on December 18. Assuming Jake can repeat the feat of August and best Woodley again, it seems unlikely there will be a third fight. If Woodley makes good on his promise and wins, we can look forward to YouTube boxing’s first trilogy.

Tyron Woodley confronts Jake Paul on “disrespectful” spat involving his mom – Dexerto
Tyron Woodley confronts Jake Paul on “disrespectful” spat involving his mom Amanda Westcott / Courtesy of SHOWTIMETyron Woodley and Jake Paul are quickly approaching their date in the ring, but not before the two fighters sat down to confront each other about all that’s been said. During Showtime’s MVP Face 2 Face, the former MMA champion Woodley and rising boxing figure Paul sat down to say their last words to each other before stepping into the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse stage. Things got a little dicey just days before, with a verbal spat between Paul’s team and Woodley’s mother resulting in a heated moment just days before the two are set to trade blows. If the fight wasn’t personal before, then it definitely started hitting closer to home after people, including Woodley’s sister, were split up in the last press conference for the event. (Timestamp starts at 12:28 for mobile viewers) “Why didn’t you do shit yesterday when people were insulting your mom?” Paul said of the “You should check your dogs on that, on the same token,” Woodley retorted. “Women’s Appreciation Day, but you allow your teammates and your cornermen to disrespect somebody’s mom? Miss Paul would never hear a word out of my mouth. “If my cornermen, my guys, my coaches ever made mention to anything to your mom, I would’ve checked their ass on the spot. That’s the difference between me and you: I’m solid, you’re not.” He went on to call Paul “loose,” as he kept talking down the YouTuber-turned-boxer’s claim to action sports. But there’s no love lost between the two, who have kept up the trash-talking since the fight was set up. Paul is coming into the night with a 3-0 professional record, while Woodley is set to make his boxing debut. As far as who has the favorable outcome, there’s plenty of chatter between the grit that both fighters have. Some like Woodley’s record in MMA as a tough and hard-hitting opponent, meanwhile The Problem Child has been anything but predictable. The Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley event is slated for August 29 at 5 PM PT/8 PM ET/1 AM BST.

Tyler1’s reaction to a big donation is not what you would expect – Dexerto
Tyler1’s reaction to a big donation is not what you would expect Twitch streamer Tyler1 is one of the most popular on the platform, regularly attracting thousands of viewers, but when it comes to receiving big donations, he is brutally honest with his fans. Many viewers on Twitch will often donate to their favorite streamers as a way of showing support, to ask a question or simply for the excitement of having their name read out. Donations range from $1 to as high as $1,000’s for some big streamers, but when a viewer donated $100 to Tyler1, he called them a “dumbass”. He did of course thank them, but also made clear that that money would be of a lot more help to the viewer than it is to Tyler1, as one of the biggest streamers on Twitch. More: Dr Disrespect discovers his own stream during Code Red Fortnite tournament to hilarious results – “That would help you a lot more than it would help me, little side note, I honestly don’t need that” Tyler says, before going on to thank the donator. But even in thanking the donator, Tyler1 explains with sarcasm why he doesn’t want viewers donating him so much: “Thanks for donating that much to me – a humble, small, living on the edge streamer.” Most streamers with the popularity of Tyler1, who has almost 2 million followers on the site, are living well, with thousands of paying subscribers, regular (smaller) donations and ad revenue. It is a strangely honest response to such a large donation though, as most streamers, big or small, would simply thank the person and make no further mention of it, even if they know it would likely be of more use to the donator than them.

Tyron Woodley claims Jake Paul is “free money” after $500k offer – Dexerto
Tyron Woodley claims Jake Paul is “free money” after $500k offer Instagram: Tyron Woodley/YouTube: Seconds OutTyron Woodley has issued a warning to Jake Paul for putting a “bounty” on his own head, claiming he’s all about redemption in their rematch. While the internet was looking forward to Jake Paul and Tommy Fury finally settling their beef in the boxing ring, that’s not happening seeing as Fury has pulled out due to medical reasons. Instead of calling off the event in Tampa, Florida on December 18, Jake managed to get a rematch agreed with former UFC Welterweight king Tyron Woodley. Prior to taking the rematch, Woodley, who was defeated by the YouTuber via split decision back in August, had to get an ‘I love Jake Paul’ tattoo. This time around, the pot has been sweetened once again, with Jake offering up a $500k bonus if T-Wood can knock him out. Well, that’s just added motivation for the former UFC champion as he seeks redemption for that split decision loss. “At the end of the day, you put a bag on your own head,” Woodley told MMAFighting, addressing Jake’s bonus. “You don’t put a bounty on your own fucking head and think I’m not going to take it,” he added, noting he’s “all about taking free money” if it’s on offer. Woodley said if he tweaks his game just a little bit compared to the first fight in Cleveland, he believes he’ll walk away with a knockout victory. Last time, he noted, there wasn’t much to go off in terms of tape on Jake’s skills, but now he’s got first-hand experience and that will bolster his hopes of a win. “I felt the things that he did well, and I also felt the things that I did to him that he didn’t like so much. Now, I’ve got eight rounds to break, make adjustments, and we all know nobody’s better at rematches than me,” he added. With Jake spending weeks preparing for Fury, Woodley could have the upper hand and score the win he’s chasing, but we’ll just have to wait and see what happens when they touch gloves again.

Tyler1’s incredible chess streak continues as streamer reaches new milestone – Dexerto
Tyler1’s incredible chess streak continues as streamer reaches new milestone Tyler1Tyler1 just keeps winning in chess as his incredible streak continues, reaching a new milestone of 1905 elo in just 10 months, making him the top 0.5% of players worldwide. When it comes to streaming the grind, there is none that does is better than Tyler1. He was, after all, the first LoL streamer to hit Champion on all five roles while broadcasting live on Twitch. It seems Tyler wasn’t satisfied with conquering LoL though, as he’s now conquering Chess too. Just two months ago, Tyler hit 1700 Elo in just eight months into picking up the game. Two weeks ago, just after the birth of his daughter, he reached 1800 Elo. Now, 10 months into starting his chess journey, he has reached 1900 Elo, putting him in the top 0.5% of players worldwide. Tyler1 hit 1905 Elo with a win in a game of Rapid, putting him at the upper echelon of chess. Even though his global rank is placed at number 53,624 — the player with the most Elo going to chess Grandmaster Andrey Gutov — it still can’t be overstated how much of an achievement 1905 Elo is to get in just 10 months. For reference, most players sit at an elo of 400, and most good players will likely hit a high of 1500 or so. Above 2300 or so, you’re probably a professional player. Above 2500, you probably are at the top of FIDE’s rankings. And Tyler is getting close to that. No one embodies the chess world’s reaction more than GothamChess, who wrote, “This is absolutely insane. Tyler1 has just crossed 1900 Elo in chess. He is now ranked in the top 0.5% IN THE WORLD. He learned chess 10 months ago. Is this man human?”

Tyler1 tries to start drama with shroud to win ESPN contest – Dexerto
Tyler1 tries to start drama with shroud to win ESPN contest Two of the biggest names on Twitch, Tyler ‘Tyler1‘ Steinkamp and Michael ‘shroud‘ Grzesiek, are going head to head in ESPN’s esports and gaming personality poll, and the former is bringing out some dirty tricks in an effort to win. Shroud and Tyler1 head-to-head in popularity vote Both streamers are immensely popular, and their massive followings have earned them a spot in the top eight of the poll, but now face each other head-to-head. At the time of writing, shroud has a healthy lead over his fellow Twitch streamer, and so Tyler1 has resorted to some underhanded tactics in an effort to take over. Both streamers attract plenty of viewers on their respective streams, well into the tens of thousands, but it looks like shroud’s fans are showing up more in the vote. Seeing that he was slipping behind, Tyler1 explained on his April 5 stream, “honestly I’m just going to start drama on Twitter,” before revealing his fiendish plan. “Shroud view bots guys,” he states plainly, “Shroud’s a view botter, whatever fine, let the blatant view botter win guys.” Shroud on the other hand has remained pretty quiet on the poll, but did send out a single tweet commenting on how interesting of a match up it was – even though it’s currently pretty one-sided. Hot damn what a matchup here boys. https://t.co/d11geKIIzw — Michael Grzesiek (@shroud) April 5, 2019 In fairness, Tyler1 hasn’t shared the vote to his followers on Twitter, as he has not posted anything since December 2018. More: Call of Duty pro and OpTic Gaming member Seth ‘Scump’ Abner, while Tyler ‘Ninja‘ Blevins faces up against French streamer Gotaga. The ESPN polls are essentially just a popularity contest but have had fans supporting their favorite personalities proudly, and it’s even got a little nasty at times as groups of fans defend their pick. –

Tyler1’s emotional stream ending confuses viewers – was he trolling? – Dexerto
Tyler1’s emotional stream ending confuses viewers – was he trolling? Twitch: loltyler1Popular League of Legends streamer Tyler ‘Tyler1’ Steinkamp’s reaction at the end of his September 4 Twitch broadcast has left viewers concerned and confused, unable to tell if he’s pulling a joke on them or not. Tyler1 is well known for his brash personality and hilarious clips, regularly screaming and shouting his way through his broadcasts, often voicing his frustrations at LoL, a game which he streams almost exclusively, at opponents who have annoyed him, and sometimes even at his own chat as he entertains his audience. The end of his September 4 stream has left many confused though, with his appearance and demeanour leaving many wondering if he was playing another trick on them, or if it was a reflection of his true feelings. After telling his viewers that he would catch them later in typical Tyler1 fashion, the 24-year-old gave a massive smile straight down the camera, waving emphatically with his left hand as he used his right to put up an end slate and play some music. As a song from the Naruto anime called ‘Sadness and Sorrow’ played, a sad-looking Tyler1 put his head in his hands, rubbing his eyes, before seemingly realising that his camera was still showing him, and quickly firing his end slate back up before going offline. The short view of the LoL star moments after the end of his stream sent viewers into wild discussions, with some stating that he looked like a man who had just finished “a shift at a job you hate.” Others pondered whether it was playing League of Legends constantly for five years was the source of his annoyance, or perhaps that he was just exhausted after finishing his broadcast. Others weren’t buying into the clip, with one user mentioning that the sad music made it clear that it was a joke, while another simply wrote: “Because of Tyler’s persona, I can’t tell if he’s faking anymore.” The Twitch star streamed briefly on September 5, but didn’t mention the incident, so fans remain in the dark as to how Tyler1’s feeling, and it’s possible that he may never address it, leaving viewers permanently confused as to whether he was trolling them or not.

Tyler1 speedruns Master in League in less than two weeks as support role – Dexerto
Tyler1 speedruns Master in League in less than two weeks as support role Tina Jo, Riot GamesLeague of Legends streamer and Twitch personality, Tyler ‘Tyler1’ Steinkamp has reached Master rank playing as a support in just over a week. While most League of Legends players stick to one specific lane, Twitch behemoth, Tyler1, has decided that he will not be confined to one single role. Coming into Season 12, the streamer has decided to resurrect his quest to achieve Challenger in all of the game’s five classes, beginning his 2022 climb as a support. While many grind for months to get to Master, never mind Challenger, the LoL titan has managed to achieve the game’s third highest rank in an insanely short amount of time. Tyler1 reaches Master on support Following a dominant game on the queen of the coven, Morgana, Tyler walked away with an impressive 5/9/23 scoreline. After leaving the game, he notes “that should just f**king do it,” moving past the honor screen to see the promotion notification pop up. “There it is,” he proclaims, giving himself a round of applause (quickly echoed by the chat, of course). “COOKIEMONSTER123, Master tier, week and a half, speedrunning the support challenge – just like that. Bro, we tried it for one day, and I went on f**king autopilot and went 14-5 [14 wins to five losses]. Easy bro, it’s so easy.” Reaching Challenger will require a little bit more work, though, as he’ll start off at the bottom of Grandmaster and have to work his way through some of the best opponents North American League of Legends has to offer. Only 300 players can make it to Challenger, so will Tyler be one of them? We’ll have to wait and see, but considering his dedication has carried him this far (and even further in the past,) it’ll be interesting to see how long it takes for him to secure his place among LoL’s top-tier players.

Tyler1 takes new League of Legends tilt test and fails spectacularly – Dexerto
Tyler1 takes new League of Legends tilt test and fails spectacularly Tyler1, Twitch / Riot GamesLeague of Legends star Tyler ‘Tyler1’ Steinkamp undertook Riot Games’ newly released tilt test, and the results went about as expected for the infamous Twitch streamer. Riot Games has recently taken aim at the different kinds of tilters in their flagship title, releasing a tongue-in-cheek video describing each of the different ways that people respond to annoying situations in-game, alongside a Tilt Test for players. Of course, that piqued the interest of notorious streamer Tyler1, who was infamously permanently banned by the developers for his frequent explosions about the game, as well as his intentional feeding sprees. The LoL star, now freed from his purgatory away from the game and actively involved in Riot events as a streaming personality, took the plunge on his September 11 broadcast, revealing to the world just which tilting character he really is. To Steinkamp’s credit, he was fairly honest about his approach to the game, and after answering all 16 questions was named ‘The Paladin’, the option based around “resentment, exasperation, and the need to exert control.” “The Paladin! What is this shit dude?” Tyler1 asked, before looking through some of the examples of his tilt. “Oh … yes, yes, thank you! You (Riot) understand! Yes, agreed.” The streamer thoughts didn’t exactly align with Riot’s offered solutions on his tilt, however, especially when he was directed to ‘learn to let it go’ by the quiz: “No, I’m sorry Riot, no. Learn to let it go? These fucking clowns were doing a cloud dragon instead of fucking Baron? “You just waited 20 minutes in queue and you just lost 18LP and 40 minutes of your life? Let it go bro. Let it go!” he mocked, before disregarding most of the advice. For mobile users, the video starts at 7:41. While he blew through most of Riot’s suggestions on how to fix his behavior, the quiz closed with the idea to put on a playlist to avoid tilt. This caught Tyler1’s eye, and he quickly changed his mind on the overall worth of the Tilt Test. “I’ll try this playlist today,” he said. “Maybe Riot is literally giving me a cheat sheet on how to fucking climb ELO. Literally giving me a cheat sheet, and it’s right here. I follow these simple steps and I’ll win every single game today. I’m going to try it. I’m going to blast it too.” If the Tilt Test has helped one of League’s most notorious rage-players get on the straight and narrow then it’s done its job, but there’s no confirmation yet – as Tyler tried to startup the Spotify playlist ahead of a ranked game, he threatened to tilt “out of control” if it didn’t work.

Tyler1 slams LCS after banning Doublelift from co-streams: “It’s actually miserable” – Dexerto
Tyler1 slams LCS after banning Doublelift from co-streams: “It’s actually miserable” Twitch: LolTyler1Twitch star Tyler ‘Tyler1’ Steinkamp roasted the LCS after suspending Yiliang ‘Doublelift’ Peng after the fellow streamer claimed the league is “dying.” Retired LCS star Doublelift received a one-week ban by Riot Games on July 14 following his public criticism of the LCS. Specifically, DL called out the league for allegedly not allowing Team Liquid’s Soren ‘Bjergsen’ Bjerg to play in the MrBeast vs Ninja Charity tournament. Doublelift claimed the ban came specifically because he claimed that “the LCS is dying.” Tyler1 reacted to the news of the ban on his stream offering his own take on the situation. Tyler1 calls LCS “miserable” after Doublelift ban The streamer was live on July 15 when he talked about Doublelift getting banned from co-streaming for a week. “Apparently Riot isn’t letting him co-stream. Oh no, he can’t co-stream boring-ass LCS. Nice, bro. LCS is two kills at 30 minutes, whoa, that’s really entertaining to watch and commentate on. I feel bad for the casters that s**ts so f**king dead.” He finished, “It’s actually miserable. So, he should be happy. It’s trash, man.” Doublelift was banned from co-streaming LCS matches for just one week and claimed that he will be back in time for playoffs. Tyler1 claims the ban was a blessing in disguise, and can’t see why anybody would co-stream the matches in the first place. Steinkamp is known to not hold back his feelings when it comes to hitting out at both Riot Games and LCS. Although the 27-year-old streamer made an appearance at the LCS finals for the Spring 2022 split, that doesn’t mean he’s exactly thrilled with the product.

Tyler1 spanked for not finishing 20,000 calorie burger on date with Faker – Dexerto
Tyler1 spanked for not finishing 20,000 calorie burger on date with Faker Riot GamesIn a video produced by T1 Esports, Lee ‘Faker’ Sang-hyeok and Tyler1 visited the ‘Heart Attack Grill’ in Las Vegas, with unfortunate consequences for the League of Legends streamer. The Heart Attack Grill is a burger restaurant that specializes in meals that are high in fat, sugar, and cholesterol which, if eaten too frequently, could lead to a heart attack. The restaurant also has a hospital theme, with guests wearing hospital gowns and served by “nurses”. Wine is even served in an IV bag. Of course, Tyler1 immediately chose to order the largest meal on the menu, an enormous “Octuple Bypass Burger.” After he asked the nurse how many calories the burger had, she revealed that “we don’t count calories here, but I do know that the Octuple has 19,982 calories.” Faker, meanwhile, initially opted for just a single burger, but was eventually convinced by Tyler1 and the nurse to make it a double. Unfortunately for Tyler1, however, the restaurant apparently also has a rule that those who fail to finish all of their food will be spanked. With Tyler1 eventually having to admit defeat against the Octuple Bypass Burger, he was forced to take three rather forceful hits from the nurse, using a paddle for added effect. Despite saying that he was “not okay” after the ordeal, Tyler1 took it in good humor, stating “it was an experience, but I’m glad I could do it with you Faker.” Tyler1’s attempts to further develop his friendship with Faker over the course of the meal were somewhat rebuffed, however. After Faker revealed that his favorite food is Korean chicken, Tyler1 suggested that the pair could get some together, and “it could be a date,” – to which Faker quickly replied that he was busy. Later, Tyler1 said that the pair are “basically best friends,” with Faker only saying “maybe.”

Tyler1 silently trolls fellow streamer during League of Legends debate – Dexerto
Tyler1 silently trolls fellow streamer during League of Legends debate Popular League of Legends streamer Tyler ‘Tyler1’ Steinkamp pulled off a dastardly troll on fellow broadcaster ‘hashinshin’ while the pair were locked in a debate about the game’s characters. When it comes to streaming League of Legends on Twitch, there is perhaps no bigger name than Tyler1 outside of the professional circuit. The American can usually be found at the top of the pile – when there isn’t an LCS, LEC, or LCK broadcast on – as he tears opponents apart, both in-game and on the mic. Tyler1 has managed to take down top-level professional players, troll his own viewers who’ve tried to turn the tables on him, and been engaged in brutal verbal blows with other streamers. Yet, this time around, he chose a slightly different route to give one over on a player – complete and utter silence. During his October 14 stream, Steinkamp had been playing games with former professional hashinshin when the pair lost a match and began, hilariously, debating as to what the problem was. They turned their attention to character nerfs, with hashinshin diving right into the exact changes that he believes Riot Games needs to make after being set off by T1. That prompted Tyler1 to put down his headphones and walk away, all while hashinshin carried on with his explanations. “Ah, he just walked in,” the streamer said as he finally realized that Steinkamp had taken a break during the conversation and had returned to his mic. “Ah ha, yeah,” Tyler quickly replied, making out as if nothing was up, even though he chat filled with laughing spam. As his chat saw the funny side of things, Tyler1 dropped right back into the conversation about changes need to be made before the pair set off on another match across Summoner’s Rift. Maybe next time, though, anyone who decides to team up with the hilarious streamer might just want to keep an eye on him at all times. They’ll only end up in the very middle of one of his jokes.

Tyler1 roasts xQc for “stealing” his viewers and being “budget T1” – Dexerto
Tyler1 roasts xQc for “stealing” his viewers and being “budget T1” Tyler ‘League of Legends. That means anyone who tunes into his stream is an avid LoL fan, but can often mean those who would like to watch him but don’t enjoy the game choose to go elsewhere, and Tyler1 believes that it’s why xQc has the huge following that he currently enjoys. While reading a tweet from xQc about how much he enjoyed the visuals in Red Dead Redemption 2, which released on PC on November 5, Tyler1 decided he had seen enough from the former Overwatch pro, launching into a classic tirade. “Oh shut up, you budget T1,” said the 24-year-old. “You wannabe, old T1 b*stard.” “You stole all my viewers, xQc. People just watch you because I don’t stream variety xQc, there you go, I said it. You hear me? That’s the f**king truth. You’ll never play that game again, you’ll go back to reacting to videos. I hate you xQc.” Of course, the roast is all in good jest, and Tyler1 could easily transition into variety streaming if he really wanted to, but prefers to stay with the game he loves rather than broadcast games he doesn’t care about or doesn’t enjoy for the sake of larger audiences. The Canadian has yet to respond to the hilarious dig from his streaming rival, but you can expect xQc to have some thoughts of his own about Tyler1 once he gets his eyes on it.

Tyler1 shows dirty keyboard on stream and viewers are disgusted – Dexerto
Tyler1 shows dirty keyboard on stream and viewers are disgusted Twitch streamer Tyler1 created some nightmare fuel for his viewers after showing them how gross his keyboard was. On November 16, the popular League of Legends streamer was queuing for a match when he started telling his audience about his keyboard and how nasty it looked. While many in his chat wanted to see the gross-looking keyboard, Tyler1 started out refusing to give viewers a peek claiming that they “don’t want to see it” and spoke on their behalf. “I had a f*cking protein shake and I spilled it,” the bodybuilding entertainer explained. “I mean the left side is clean, but the right side, the side I don’t use, is not clean.” After pondering for a bit, the streamer finally decided to show his keyboard. “I don’t think you guys are ready for this, honestly,” he said before revealing just how grimy his hardware was. Finally, Tyler lifted his keyboard into his camera view revealing the morbid sight. The whole thing was filled with gunk, dust, dirt and heaven knows what else could be growing or living in between the keys. Despite his original warnings, the League streamer’s chat got what they wished for and were left mortified. Multiple “ewwws” flooded the chat alongside viewers asking “wtf” it was they were looking at. “I told you guys you didn’t want to see that!” he reminded them. “It’s not that bad. I don’t keep these keyboards, I replace them. So, when they get dirty, I just toss them out and I get a new one.” It’s unclear why the streamer didn’t throw out the disgusting-looking keyboard based on his own logic. It will be scary to see how dirty a keyboard has to get for him to finally decide to get a new one. This isn’t the first time viewers have gotten a look at Tyler’s revolting setup either. In April 2019, his girlfriend showed off the disgusting state of his desk and noted how gross it looked. It’s possible that Tyler has the nastiest setup out of any top streamer. There’s no telling when Tyler will finally clean up his keyboard, but until then, his chat will remain haunted with the image burned into their memories.

Tyler1 roasts “loser” donator with brutal rant – Dexerto
Tyler1 roasts “loser” donator with brutal rant loltyler1, TwitchAs one of the net’s most popular live streaming platforms, Twitch offers fans a myriad of ways to support their favorite creators, from sending bits to gifting subscriptions and even donating directly – but one of these donations took an unexpected turn. Twitch donations, like those on other platforms, allow users to attach a special message to their monetary gift, providing a unique opportunity to have their note read aloud by streamers during their broadcasts. However, not all of these donations end in particularly wholesome moments, as evidenced by a humorous interaction between a certain popular streamer and a fan who asked him to perform a unique task. Streaming star Tyler League of Legends broadcast on September 10 when he received a three dollar donation from a fan, who asked him to “do something to make me happy.” “No,” Tyler1 responded, instantly shutting down their request. “Nothing I say or do will make you happy, you fucking loser. You just sent three dollars to a fucking streamer. You are depressed beyond my cure.” Despite his hilarious roast, the streamer made sure to clarify that he was just joking around, claiming that his comments likely put a smile on the face of the concerned fan. “I’m kidding, dude,” Tyler1 explained. “Me flaming him right there probably got him a smile out of his face, right? For sure.” Tyler1’s response comes as no surprise to fans, known across the net for his over-the-top reactions and hilarious “rage-induced” moments on stream, having recently trolled his entire audience with an abrupt “sad” end to his broadcast on September 4. Rather than closing out his stream with the usual shenanigans, he instead played some sad music, putting his head in his hands before calling things off. However, the somber ending turned out to be a complete troll, as the streamer laughingly admitted in a following broadcast the very next day. “That was one hundred percent intentional,” Tyler1 laughed, shaking his head. “Dumbasses.” Thus, Tyler1 is no stranger to trolling and joking around – even towards fans looking for a quick pick-me-up, as evidenced by his good-natured roast toward the curious donator.

Tyler1 roasts xQc after terrible League of Legends misplay goes viral – Dexerto
Tyler1 roasts xQc after terrible League of Legends misplay goes viral loltyler1/ xQcOWTyler ‘Tyler1′ Steinkamp is a name synonymous with League of Legends, both for his S-tier play and God-tier toxicity. Finding a clip of Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel playing League of Legends, the LoL veteran couldn’t help himself from going in. Tyler1 didn’t hold himself back in commentary on a clip of xQc failing to tower dive that just did the rounds on Reddit. The clip sees xQc as Jhin managing to completely drop the ball against an opposing Draven in a 2v1 that most would assume he would’ve been able to cinch. After failing to secure the kill in a tower dive, however, Tyler 1 instantly turned on his patented toxicity. “Bro, walk up and auto. Ben Simmons of the gaming community.” Ben Simmons is a notoriously flaky basketballer for the Brooklyn Nets, whose team was dropped from NBA playoffs the night prior to the clip. It’s a blow both to xQc for whiffing his kill, and Ben Simmons himself who won’t be happy being name-checked as the symbol of mediocrity. Steincamp didn’t stop there either. After a failed ability from Felix in addition to the initial tower dive, Tyler continued his verbal onslaught. Describing the Canadian as having “zero killer instinct.” Eventually bringing it down a notch, Tyler1 simplified his response.”Just walk up and auto you bum.” Closing out the clip, Tyler seems more baffled than anything else “what are you doing? xQ-sh*tter?” Finishing up his description, Tyler returns to the screen after watching the clip. Closing it out with “I’m physically wincing at that play.” xQc ended up losing the game, with a 10/11/12 KDA as recorded by op.gg. Fans on Reddit in response to the video were no kinder to Lengyel or Simmons, stating “This really is the equivalent of passing up an open dunk” as well as lamenting the heat Ben Simmons will be copping after the playoffs. “Ben is gonna catch strays everywhere after tonight.”

Tyler1 reveals viewer has donated over $1,000 just to flame him – Dexerto
Tyler1 reveals viewer has donated over $1,000 just to flame him Twitch: Tyler1The multi-role Challenger League streamer Tyler ‘Tyler1’ Steinkamp is no stranger to criticism, typically managing to shake it off. But a recent online hater caught his attention — even warranting some appreciation from the streamer. Toxicity has become incredibly normalized in the streaming sphere, where love-hate relationships have effectively become societal norms. Tyler1, famous League of Legends streaming personality, is renowned for his bluntness — a trait some of his viewers attempt to mimic. When noticing one viewer’s donation on August 11, where the user absolutely flamed Tyler1, the streamer couldn’t help but smile, touched by the passionate commitment to trash talk. This particular hater has apparently stuck around Tyler1’s broadcasts and spent over a thousand dollars, consistently donating to talk trash to the streamer. The user claims they’ve created multiple names catered towards insulting the streamer, and even sent him the list of names they’ve donated under. Tyler1 read off the list: “I have donated under the name Streamsucks, b**cha**motherf**ker1, Ihateyoutyler1, headshapedrandomizer1.” The list goes on. Tyler1 let out a laugh while saying “there’s too many. I can’t even read them all.” Despite reading through the vulgar names intended as insults, he couldn’t help but smile brightly. “This guy has donated hundreds of times.” While an exact figure wasn’t provided, hundreds of donations certainly add up and we know for certain it’s in the four-figure ballpark. One reddit user linked to a clip, where Tyler1 read out the insults. “6-0? 20k viewers. 0-6? 30k viewers. Just how it is, bumpy. I’m falling asleep here. looking for some double-digit losses soon.” Despite talking a lot of trash towards the streamer, the anonymous Twitch user clearly supports and enjoys watching Tyler1 — a form of affection very much appreciated by Tyler1.

Tyler1 roasts Dr Disrespect for saying he could ‘pound him to the ground’ – Dexerto
Tyler1 roasts Dr Disrespect for saying he could ‘pound him to the ground’ Tyler1, Dr Disrespect / TwitchA new storm seems to be brewing on League of Legends player. The two streamers appear to have rekindled their long-term rivalry on the streaming platform, as the Doc’s claims that he would “pound” him to the ground never went unnoticed – as many would expect. While the pair might have had their differences in the past, usually centered around Tyler’s decision to play just League of Legends on Twitch, this might have been their most heated interaction yet. 600During his July 18 stream, Dr Disrespect walked fans through more sections of the new and improved Champions Club facility, but they couldn’t help but notice that his right arm was completely exposed from his usual padded outfit. “Look at the facility. Stop looking at my arm! Come on guys” he said, before firing some shots in Tyler’s direction. “Alright, go ahead and take a look. This would pound Tyler1 right to the ground… Well, he’s pretty much at the ground – guy is like four foot eleven.” The hilarious moment was clipped by one member of the Champions Club and has since attracted north of 300,000 views, at the time of writing. Once Tyler1 got his hands on the clip, though, he responded in a way only he knows how, suggesting Dr Disrespect has no “meat” on his body. “You wanna see fucking meat?” he asked, before tensing in front of the camera. “This is fucking meat, Doctor. This is fucking meat. This is density right fucking here.” “I could literally pick you up and snap you over my fucking knee, little guy. You’re a fucking toothpick. I’m so sick of this shit,” Tyler added, before suggesting the Two-Time had achieved nothing in the last thirty years. Dr Disrespect had previously said that we was hoping to link up with Tyler 1 and others once Halo: The Master Chief Collection was made available on PC platform. However, the chances of these two playing on the same team appear to be slim, unless they can put their differences aside in the meantime. Whether or not this is the end of their heated interactions remains to be seen, but there’s no doubt that fans of both streamers will be eagerly waiting to see what they say in future streams.

Tyler1 reveals the first thing he’d do if he was hired to balance League of Legends – Dexerto
Tyler1 reveals the first thing he’d do if he was hired to balance League of Legends Popular streamer Tyler1 has always had strong views on how League of Legends could be better balanced, and recently explained exactly how he would tackle the game’s issues if he was in charge. Tyler1’s relationship with League of Legends’ publisher Riot Games has always been rocky, mainly due to his very strong opinions on balancing in the game, which has got him in trouble plenty of times in the past. However, he seemed to have made amends somewhat with Riot after being invited to take part in the showmatch at the recent NA LCS playoffs – but if you thought that was the end of his tirades against the devs, you would be mistaken. Asked during a recent stream what he would do if hired to balance the game, tyler1 gave a detailed description of exactly what he would do from the moment he entered the office – and it didn’t involve much balancing at all. Rather, he explains how he would first fire pretty much everyone in sight, before proceeding to smash their keyboards over his knees “so they could never do anything to the game again.” The patch notes for version 8.19 were just released for League of Legends, which Tyler1 reviewed on stream, and it goes without saying he wasn’t entirely impressed, pointing out the notable absence of any changes to Akali. If Tyler1 actually has any ambitions of working on League of Legends, and given his chances of ever working at Riot don’t seem high, his best bet would be to continue utilising his massive stream following, which as a community seems to agree with him on most of the changes he desires.

Tyler1 reveals hilarious reason why his girlfriend doesn’t get better at LoL – Dexerto
Tyler1 reveals hilarious reason why his girlfriend doesn’t get better at LoL Popular League of Legends streamer Tyler ‘Tyler1’ Steinkamp has explained why his girlfriend Micaiyla doesn’t get better at the game, even though she asks him to teach her. For many streamers, the idea of streaming one game only is unimaginable, but Tyler1 has built a career out of streaming Riot Games’ legendary MOBA, and refuses to stream anything else on his channel. Unsurprisingly, his girlfriend Micaiyla also enjoys dabbling in League of Legends, but while watching his other half play the highly-popular title, he revealed why she doesn’t improve at the game, even if she really wants to. While streaming on November 7, Tyler1 decided to watch Micaiyla as she took to Summoner’s Rift in search of a victory, and listened as his frustrated girlfriend explained that she didn’t want to uninstall the game, because she enjoyed playing, but that it isn’t her “life to the point where (she) doesn’t play anything else,” like her partner. Obviously unimpressed by her attitude, the 24-year-old explained why her mindset was wrong, and that’s why she doesn’t improve at the game. “Dude, Micaiyla sits here and tells me; ‘Tyler, I want to get better at League,” the streamer told his audience. “‘Coach me!’ But dude, she plays two games a day, and tilts in both games! Then she goes AFK!” Of course, not everyone can share T1’s passion for League of Legends, which burns so brightly that even the suggestion that he should play something else regularly draws his ire. Streaming other games would likely be more beneficial for his channel though, with the streamer blaming xQc for stealing his viewers, before claiming the only reason he’s popular is because Tyler won’t stream anything else. If Micaiyla is going to improve though, it looks like she’s going to have to do it on her own, and definitely without the help of Tyler1.

Tyler1 reveals new figurine only to be thrown off by confusing mistake – Dexerto
Tyler1 reveals new figurine only to be thrown off by confusing mistake Twitch: Tyler1Tyler ‘Tyler1’ Steinkamp gave fans a first glimpse at his new collectable figure on stream, however the prototype might need to go back to the lab after the streamer found a pretty obvious mistake. Tyler1 has his own range of merch, from Shadow Downs Unleashed gear to his “Winnable” shirts and singlets. However, the streamer is looking to expand on that, with a set of figurines immortalizing the League of Legends star hitting digital shelves. Showcasing the new figure on stream for the first time on January 27, Tyler1 was looking forward to sharing the good news with viewers. “I’ve got something exciting dude, T1’s very own collectible figure,” he yelled, ripping the figure out of the box. The Funko Pop-style figure features Tyler1 donning an orange “Winnable” singlet and his iconic black and blue Logitech headset while flexing his muscles for all to see. However, there was one small detail that left the streamer a bit puzzled — his skin color was exceptionally dark. “Okay, and you are going to say ‘dude, you aren’t that dark,” he said, semi-joking at first until turning dead-pan serious. “Okay, look — wait I’m actually not this dark, wait hold on. I don’t have light skin, but I’m not this dark. Okay, this is a little bit too dark.” As he inspected the second figure in his shipment, he was starting to have second thoughts, and was racking up a list of improvements for the designers. “Okay, we need to get these fixed a little bit. I mean, maybe if I had a tan? The idea is good. We need to get the colour situation fixed, but it’s the idea that counts.” He mentioned that he had the idea to create the collectible figures after his holiday to Hawaii, leading to a possible theory as to why his skin color came out so dark compared to his slightly tanned self. Read more: Is HAchubby joining OfflineTV? – “We had the idea when I got back from Hawaii — you guys know how dark I was in Hawaii — but it’s a different kind of dark,” he said. The first Tyler1 figure is currently available on his website for $24.99 USD plus shipping. However, there might be a second print on the way with the improvements suggested by the streamer. More Tyler1 merch is always an exciting prospect for the streamer’s loyal fanbase, and it won’t be too long before the enigmatic League of Legends streamer will be on desks all across the world.

Tyler1 rages at “cheaters” and game-breaking bugs in return to Fortnite – Dexerto
Tyler1 rages at “cheaters” and game-breaking bugs in return to Fortnite Twitch: Tyler1 / Epic GamesPopular League of Legends, but the American’s return to playing Fortnite Battle Royale had fans in stitches. Tyler1 has become the face of League of Legends on Twitch, not because he is an ultra-skilled professional player who competes in the LCS, but rather for his unique blend of high-level plays mixed with hilarious trash talk and incredibly funny moments. Now, Tyler1 has taken his talents to the Battle Bus, making a rare switch to another game, but one which his viewership enjoyed as he provided plenty of amazing moments to keep them entertained throughout the stream. Tyler1 meets his first major bug It didn’t take long for Tyler1 to fall foul to a major bug in the battle royale, with the streamer left confused and angry as he managed to glitch himself under the map. While riding a Driftboard around near Retail Row, the streamer jumped over a hill and headed down towards the back of the shops which are a prominent feature of the area. Just as he was about to crash into the rear of one of these buildings, Tyler1 and his Driftboard glitched under the map, causing him to die.

What the fuck just happened! I got exploited!” Tyler1 meets a “cheater” Things didn’t get any easier for Tyler1, with the streamer finding himself eliminated in another match by an opponent who the popular LoL streamer claimed was hacking. As Tyler1 dropped down one of the cliffs near Loot Lake, an enemy player followed him down, slashing away at the Twitch star who desperately tried to use his Infantry Rifle to eliminate his opponent. Things didn’t work out the way Tyler1 had hoped though, eventually falling to the player before declaring that it was an “invulnerability cheat code” that cost him, and not his missed shots. Tyler did find some success on the game though, finding a nice double elimination back at Retail Row, wiping out a full duo team in style with a silenced pistol before screaming: “I’m fucking sick! I’m the best!” in celebration. Tyler1 isn’t the only popular streamer to head back to Fortnite Battle Royale, with Michael ‘shroud’ Grzesiek also giving the game another shot after saying that he was considering trying to qualify for the World Cup. Whether Tyler1 will continue to play Fortnite is unknown, but it seems incredibly unlikely that he’ll be switching away from League of Legends permanently any time soon.

Tyler1 rages at Riot Games to remove “trash” League of Legends feature – Dexerto
Tyler1 rages at Riot Games to remove “trash” League of Legends feature Tyler1, TwitchPopular Twitch streamer League of Legends games are being “ruined” time and time again by something out of his control. The loud-mouthed gamer is known for the epic rage moments he produces on stream, and in his latest outburst, he had his targets set on one feature that he believes isn’t needed in the battle arena game. “Holy fuck. What a terrible fucking player, man,” he said cooly, as he refused to honor any of the teammates in the game after their performance in a defeat. However, just a few moments later, things were cranked up a notch. “Fix the game!” he screamed, leaping forward from his seat right in front of the camera. “Remove autofill. It’s trash! So bullshit, I play this stupid shit every day and autofill just doesn’t get removed. You’re ruining my games!” Making reference to the mass walkout of employees at Riot Games on May 6, Tyler1 claimed that if he was working for the company, he would leave the “pathetic company” too. A number of current and former Riot employees have filed lawsuits against the company since late 2018, with claims involving not only a violation of the California Equal Pay Act, but also the company’s handling of ongoing sexual harassment and discrimination allegations too. Read More: League of Legends fans think they’ve already worked out who is creating the Worlds 2019 song – Not every employee would have reacted in the same way as Tyler1 did on stream, though, as he reenacted a hypothetical version of him leaving Riot for viewers to see. Thumping his fist onto the desk and throwing his headset across the room, the streamer left the room for a brief moment – angered by the poor performance of the player that had been drafted into his game by the autofill feature. Whether or not his protest against the feature will prove successful remains to be seen, but it was certainly a strong message sent to the developer, to say the least.
