Sean O’Malley compared Jake Paul to Conor McGregor in the recent episode of Impaulsive podcast
Jake Paul remained undefeated after earning a close split decision win against Tyron Woodley last weekend at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.
Despite being rocked by the former welterweight champ in the fourth round, Paul hung on to go 4-0 up in his MMA career.
The spotlight is on the ‘Problem Child’ right now, as he has begun beating some seriously tough opponents.
In a recent episode of Impaulsive podcast, hosted by his brother Logan Paul; surging UFC bantamweight Sean O’Malley was the guest.
‘Sugar Sean’ revealed that Paul “has got him convinced”, just like his inspiration Conor McGregor had, before fighting Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Although, O’Malley revealed that he never got to see Paul spar, he sounded confident about the YouTuber’s fight game.
Here is what O’Malley had to say:
“I haven’t got to watch Jake [Paul] spar, I haven’t gotta watch him beat up Ben [Askren], I’ve heard his sparring, I know he’s sparring with good motherf*****s. I know he’s got a good team. I’m a believer…he’s got me convinced the same way Conor [McGregor] gets me convinced when he’s gonna go out there and beat Khabib [Nurmagomedov]… Jake’s got me, I’m like, this dude is gonna win…I wish I could watch some sparring to really give me a good f*ckin idea.”
Jake Paul will most probably face Tyron Woodley once again in a rematch, after the same was agreed comically in the post-fight scenes inside the ring.
Provided, Woodley gets the ‘I Love Jake Paul’ tattoo, the rematch is all but set.
If not for Woodley, Paul might probably take on Tommy Fury, who has had a history of bad blood with the ‘Problem Child.’
