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. \u201cI mean, they say social media is a motherf***er,\u201d the UFC star joked. \u201cThey\u2019re doing it right, it\u2019s helping boxing, but also it\u2019s helping everything because they\u2019re calling UFC fighters out, too. Or the Bellator guys.\u201d This was in reference to Jake calling out UFC\u2019s Irish powerhouse Conor McGregor and Ben Askren, the latter of which accepted the YouTuber\u2019s 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\u2019t get overconfident and potentially ruin a good thing they have going for them. \u201cDon\u2019t bite off more than you can chew,\u201d the champ advised. \u201cI mean, yes, you may be a tough guy, but Askren has been in some scraps. He\u2019s been around, you know, fighting and wrestling and all that.\u201d “”They’re doing it right, it’s helping boxing, but also it’s helping everything calling because they’re calling UFC fighters out too\u2026 Just don’t bite off more than you can chew””@stipemiocic on @jakepaul & @LoganPaul in the boxing ring #PatMcAfeeShowLIVE pic.twitter.com\/lKt7s36fZw \u2014 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. \u201cI tell people like, you get into a fight on the streets \u2013 look at his ears first. If the dude\u2019s ears are cauliflowers, you walk away,\u201d he added. \u201cI wish them all the best. I understand why they\u2019re doing it, it\u2019s all about the money. But at the same time, don\u2019t bite off more than you can chew.\u201d Finally, when asked about the possibility of ever doing some boxing exhibitions when he\u2019s in his 50s or 60s, Stipe wasn\u2019t opposed to the idea. \u201cMaybe, if it pays the right money, I\u2019d do whatever.\u201d Only time will tell if the Pauls take Miocic\u2019s advice or if they continue to call out fighters who have been competing a lot longer than they have.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
