Jorge Masvidal claims Jake Paul \u201cwouldn\u2019t be able to walk\u201d if they fought Instagram: Jorge Masvidal \/ Jake PaulUFC superstar Jorge Masvidal insists Jake Paul \u201cwouldn\u2019t be able to talk\u201d if they fought, claiming he\u2019d \u201cslam him through concrete\u201d and make him \u201cinvalid\u201d for the rest of his life. Masvidal and Jake started off as comrades in the lead-up to Jake\u2019s fight against Ben Askren in April 2021. However, their relationship soured months later in August when Masvidal predicted Tyron Woodley would knock Jake out. The two of them have been linked to a fight ever since. Jake even pitched the idea to UFC President Dana White. It didn\u2019t eventuate, though, with White telling Jake to fight Anderson Silva instead. The bad blood between them hasn\u2019t gone away. Masvidal spoke about it with Ariel Helwani during an episode of The MMA Hour. He claimed that although fighting Jake isn\u2019t in his plans, it could happen down the track. \u201cRight now, where I\u2019m at in my career, I\u2019m going to fight the world\u2019s best fighters in the world. We can both agree that they\u2019re in the f**king UFC,\u201d said Masvidal. \u201cThose other options will always be there. But right now, while I\u2019m in my prime, I have to do things that people in their prime do, and that\u2019s fight the world\u2019s best. \u201c[Jake Paul] is not in that conversation, or ever will be.\u201d Masvidal admitted he\u2019d be open to fighting him in the future, though. \u201cWhen I am done beating up world-class fighters, this bum will still be around. I\u2019m going to collect a quick paycheck for hitting him so f**king hard in front of the whole world.\u201d However, he believes the gap between them is insurmountable. \u201cI can always pick this little kid up and slam him through the concrete so hard that he will be invalid for the rest of his life. He wouldn\u2019t be able to walk.\u201d A fight between Masvidal and Paul might not happen anytime soon though. Although it hasn\u2019t been made official yet, Jake\u2019s next opponent is reportedly set to be Tommy Fury.
