From 4-0, YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul has made it 5-0 against MMA fighters in boxing. The 27-year-old took the fight to ‘The King of Violence’ Mike Perry, dispatching him in the 6th round with a TKO win. However, Paul’s thirst to take on MMA fighters inside the squared circle isn’t ending anytime soon because ‘El Gallo’ wants a piece of Alex Pereira, and fans gave their takes after his callout.

There was a lot of talk about Mike Perry possibly being the one to end Jake Paul’s boxing career and break the duck when it comes to MMA fighters taking on the 27-year-old. But that didn’t happen as ‘Platinum’ seemed to have no answers to the barrage of punches Paul threw at him with different variations.

That win would add to Jake Paul’s confidence as he called out Alex Pereira, who’s one of the most feared fighters in the MMA space. He wants to fight him after facing Mike Tyson. “Alex Pereira you said you wanna box. I’m the king of this. Come over, we can make it happen. I want you Alex Pereira,” said a confident Jake Paul after his win over Mike Perry. He even FaceTimed the UFC light heavyweight champion to tell him about it while in the ring after his boxing match.

But what do the fans think? Well, they believe that the former Disney star could be up for a rude awakening should he fight ‘Poatan’. Hence, let’s take a look at their reactions, which were posted on X.

Fans don’t believe it was wise for Jake Paul to call out Alex Pereira

In a post on X, one fan stated, “He genuinely might die when that left hook connects,” expressing his concern for what might happen if Paul fights Pereira. Meanwhile, it is a well-established fact that Dana White isn’t a fan of letting his fighters take part in fights outside of the promotion’s control. It’s reportedly even mentioned in their contracts. An X user added, “Dana is never letting a active fighter fight a boxer ever again after Conor Floyd, he hates when guys don’t need the ufc anymore.” With that in mind, a fan said the UFC CEO could end Jake Paul’s boxing endeavor should he allow Alex Pereira to fight the 27-year-old. “Dana white could easily end this whole charade, just let Alex Pereira fight jake paul,” one fan stated.

Meanwhile, some users on X seemed triggered about the fact that Paul’s still trying to fight MMA fighters in a boxing ring and they suggested he makes the move to the Octagon. “Go to MMA if u wanna call out MMA fighters,” one fan added. There have also been talks about Jake Paul being a ‘weight bully’, something that his arch-rival and fellow YouTube sensation KSI also pointed out. However, when it comes to fighting Alex Pereira could end those debates, with one fan claiming, “No weight advantage there, let’s see it.”

While one fan stated, “Great fight great call out! Box him,” expressing his excitement at the prospect of watching Jake Paul box Alex Pereira, others don’t rate his chances against the Brazilian ace after witnessing how he fought Mike Perry. “Dude struggled to get a welterweight punching bag out of there,” a user on X added.

Given how much interest he’s generated with his boxing matches, Alex Pereira might just consider fighting him, but maybe not before he gets a third title, something that he’s expressed wanting to do. Nevertheless, what do you think? Will it be wise for the YouTuber-turned-boxer to fight one of the UFC’s very best?
