It's official :) Representing the UFC Mr. Napoleon Dynamite look-alike Ben Askren finally accepted the fight. He is a two-time NCAA champion, a world champion in two different global mixed martial arts organizations and has less losses on his record than Conor Mcgregor, yet, I'm still going to knock him out faster than Masvidal did... Some MMA guys think because they throw punches they know how to box.
I shocked the world when I knockout an NBA superstar athlete, but some people still complained that he's not a real fighter... So now I'm giving the people what they want by taking on a real fighter... After I add Ben to my knockout meme collection, what can anybody say? April 17th. 82 days. The countdown starts now. Be ready.



Jake Paul recently, faced basketball player Nate Robinson as part of the undercard for the Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. exhibition match, Paul won the fight via KO at 1:24 in the second round.



Askren last faced Demian Maia on October 26, 2019 at UFC on ESPN+ 20. He lost the fight via submission in round three. This fight earned him the Fight of the Night award. On November 18, 2019 Askren announced his retirement from mixed martial arts competition.

Dana White On Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul; 'I Don't Like To See Guys Fighting At A 31-Year Age Difference'

Legendary boxer Mike Tyson is scheduled to return to the ring for an exhibition match against YouTuber Jake Paul on July 20, 2024. The bout, which will be streamed on Netflix, has raised eyebrows in the fighting world, with UFC president Dana White expressing his reservations. ## White, a long-time friend of Tyson, has previously voiced his disapproval of the former heavyweight champion's return to boxing. During the UFC 299 post-fight press conference, White reiterated his concerns, highlighting the significant age difference between the 57-year-old Tyson and his 26-year-old opponent.## "He gets mad when I do this," White said, "but Mike's 60, man. I don't know what you guys think about it, who cares what I think, it's not my fight." ## Despite acknowledging their personal friendship and admiration for Tyson, White emphasized his worry: "I don't like to see guys fighting at... A 31-year age difference in that fight, you know." Whether Tyson can defy expectations and pull off a successful return against a much younger opponent remains to be seen. The fight has certainly generated buzz, but White's concerns echo a wider sentiment of unease surrounding the veteran boxer's comeback. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Ryan Garcia Challenges Jake Paul To A Fight: 'I'm Going to End This Jake Paul Boxing Thing'

Professional boxer Ryan Garcia has issued a fiery challenge to internet personality and fellow boxer Jake Paul, following Paul's first-round knockout victory over Ryan Bourland in Puerto Rico. ## Taking to social media, Garcia expressed his frustration and called out Paul in a series of expletive-laden messages. He declared his intention to end "this Jake Paul boxing thing" and demanded a fight, stating he was "dead f****** serious." Garcia went further, expressing regret for introducing Paul to boxing and feeling Paul disrespected the sport. ## Okay enough, it’s on I’m going to have to do this! I’m going to end this JAKE PAUL BOXING THING. BRING IT ON JAKE IM DEAD FUCKING SERIOUS FUCK YOU! HIT MY TEAM UP— RYAN GARCIA (@RyanGarcia) March 3, 2024 ## pic.twitter.com/QKqLBUi9c1— RYAN GARCIA (@RyanGarcia) March 3, 2024 ## While Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs) is a former champion with significantly more experience than Paul (9-1, 6 KOs), currently scheduled for a major lightweight title fight in April, the size difference between the two fighters is notable. Garcia typically fights at 140 pounds, while Paul's recent fight with Bourland was at 200 pounds. Despite this, Garcia would represent Paul's most experienced boxing opponent to date. ## Paul, on the other hand, has recently expressed his desire to face more experienced boxers. He achieved back-to-back first-round knockouts against opponents with some boxing background, but Garcia's established career and championship pedigree would be a significant step up in competition.## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
