After knocking out former NBA player Nate Robinson in the co-main event of Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr., Jake Paul has called out a host of people, including UFC stars Conor McGregor and Ben Askren. Jake Paul is even throwing out Bellator’s Dillon Danis’s name, who is also Conor McGregor’s training partner.
He recently also tweeted that he wants to fight Floyd Mayweather after his brother Logan Paul is done with him. Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather are meeting on February 20, 2021, in an exhibition match.
Ben Askren was the only one to accept Jake Paul’s challenge on social media, saying he was looking to “humble” the YouTube sensation.

Ben Askren announced his retirement on November 18, 2019, after losing his last fight to Demian Maia via submission. However, he promptly replied to Jake Paul’s demeaning comments on MMA fighters and repetitive callouts.
Ben Askren took to Twitter with a video addressed to Jake Paul, announcing his acceptance of a fight on March 28.
In an Instagram post a few days later, Ben Askren claimed that since he accepted the fight, Jake Paul has gone silent and called him a coward.
