YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul responded to Dustin Poirier, sharing a video of Mike Perry saying that “you kicked my ass.” Ever since Paul finished Ben Askren on Saturday night, a ton of pro fighters have taken to social media to throw their name in the hat of potentially being the next man to step into the cage with him. Even though Paul doesn’t get a ton of respect from the combat sports community, everyone knows that he is a huge name and a big draw. At this point, Paul is one of the biggest stars in combat sports just three fights into his boxing career. If you are lucky enough to get booked to fight against Paul, then you stand to make a lot of money.

UFC lightweight contender Dustin Poirier suggested that YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul step into the boxing ring against Mike Perry next. Paul knocked out Ben Askren in the main event of the Triller Fight Club boxing card on Saturday night. It was the third straight knockout win for Paul in boxing, and for his next fight, there have been a number of MMA fighters who have asked for it to be them. Names such as Tyron Woodley, Dillon Danis, and Conor McGregor are some of the MMA fighters who have been suggested for a potential matchup with Paul. But if you ask Poirier, the fight that makes the most sense for him is to book Paul against UFC welterweight Mike Perry.
