“Why Wont He Rather Call Out Alex Parreira”: Jake Paul’s Response to Conor McGregor’s 39-Year-Old Opponent Triggers UFC Fans

YouTuber-boxer Jake Paul has found himself challenged by yet another UFC veteran. He recently turned down a challenge from retired UFC fighter Donald Cerrone. ‘Cowboy’ has had memorable fights in the UFC with the likes of Charles Oliveira, Conor McGregor, and Edson Barboza.

Jake Paul is on an undefeated run with six wins. Donald Cerrone recently challenged the YouTube sensation. He was interviewed by ‘Thiccc Boy Studios’ and told them that he would never turn down millions of dollars if he was offered the fight with Jake Paul. “Would I like to fight him? How could I say no to millions of dollars? I would definitely go out there and do it,” said Cerrone.

Cerrone also stated that he is not underestimating Jake Paul. He knows what the 25-year-old is capable of. Cerrone said, “I’m not sitting here saying, ‘Jake, you’re a YouTuber, you’re not worth a f**k, blah blah blah.”

‘Cowboy’ further mentioned that he knows everybody wants a piece of the YouTuber because he is making a considerable amount of money. “The Jake Paul phenomenon is kind of crazy. It’s got everyone calling him out. Everyone wants in, and I don’t see why they wouldn’t. That’s a big money fight,” said the 39-year-old retired fighter.

Jake Paul turned down Cerrone‘s challenge and stated that he wanted to face younger fighters. But he believes that young fighters were scared of losing their fighting record at this point in their career. “I’m kind of tired of beating these old dudes up like that, you know what I’m saying? I’m just trying to get someone in there who is younger, but they’re all scared, honestly. They’re all just trying to protect their record,” said Paul to The Schmo.

Fans react to Jake Paul responding to Cerrone’s challenge

Fans have reacted to Jake’s comments on Mirror Fighting’s post on Facebook about the situation:

• Wait, hes calling Cerrone old (39) and yet he fought Silva (47)…..huh???!!
• Jake Paul will always fight retired fighters, why wont he rather call out Alex Parreira.
• Paul need an a**whopping.
• More old people for Jake Paul to beat up
• Call out a boxer not a MMA fighter. Or fight a MMA fighter in a MMA match.
• I mean, give it to Cerrone. He deserves that payday.
• Cowboy would mop the floor with this clown

Many fans were quick to point out that Jake was being ridiculous for calling Donald Cerrone an ‘old dude’ considering the fact that he fought Anderson Silva who was much older than ‘Cowboy.’ Fans also called out the ‘Problem Child’ for not fighting an actual boxer.
