I shocked the world when I knocked out an NBA superstar athlete [Nate Robinson], but some people still complain that he\u2019s not a real fighter. So now I\u2019m giving the people what they want by taking on a real fighter.\u201d<\/p>\n Its cute that Jake thinks he is a real fighter, Im gonna beat him up April 17 https:\/\/t.co\/XcsJ8WhmR3<\/a><\/p>\n — Funky (@Benaskren) January 26, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
