Jake Paul has been beefing with several UFC fighters since his breakout into the combat scene. He has also faced two former UFC stars in a row and has vanquished them to go 4-0 as a pro-boxer. As he is set to face a pro-pugilist for the first time in Tommy Fury, ‘The Problem Child’ is getting advice from the UFC community.

MMA veteran Chael Sonnen recently trolled Jake Paul and took shade at him regarding the VADA test protocols. Sonnen believes Paul will never do a drug test from VADA. In his podcast, Sonnen discussed several things surrounding the combat world. Hence, he also talked about the Paul vs Fury fight, which will happen on December 18 in Miami.

Referring to Jake Paul, Sonnen said, “I mean there’s a real brilliance in everything that [Jake] Paul did but what Paul would not do is agree to VADA. VADA stands for voluntary anti-doping agency. Now, you take that however you want. And quite frankly, I don’t think you are going to get a different result, if Paul pees in the cup or I pee in the cup for him.”

“I will only share with you, nobody should do VADA. VADA should not have the doors open. It is the most ridiculous thing. Why would you ever, ever offer to put yourself under scrutiny?”

Per reports, even John Fury wanted to put a VADA test on the contract. However, Jake Paul and his side refused. Hence, things are looking slightly complicated as we come closer to the scrap.
