Khamzat Chimaev and Jake Paul exchange heated jabs on social media
UFC welterweight Khamzat Chimaev and boxings ‘problem child’ Jake Paul got into a heated exchange today on social media.
Chimaev (10-0 MMA) made his highly anticipated return to the Octagon last month at UFC 267, where he made quick work of ranked welterweight Li Jingliang (see that here). The win marked Chimaev’s fourth under the UFC banner, with his previous victory coming in just 18-seconds over Gerald Meerschaert (see that here).
Now considered one of the UFC’s brightest upcoming stars, Khamzat Chimaev has been busy trying to secure his next opponent.
After issuing challenges to a plethora of welterweights, including Nate Diaz and Colby Covington, ‘Borz’ recently decided to troll YouTuber turned pro boxer Jake Paul.
”I can smash these guys same night. Boxing.” – Chimaev captioned a photo of the Paul brothers (Jake and Logan).
That spawned a quick reply from Jake Paul, who fired back at Khamzat Chimaev with the following remarks.
Listen Kumquat… you are just another UFC fighter pretending you can box. Sit down, shut up and pray you get paid fairly. https://t.co/m8mQQAnBJ1

Prior to that, Paul scored a nasty first round knockout win over Ben Askren.
