UFC commentator Daniel Cormier doesn’t believe Jake Paul actually wants to fight him because he would get destroyed if they ever fought.<\/p>\n

Cormier, the former UFC double champion, posted his hilarious reaction of watching Ben Askren get finished by Paul at Saturday’s boxing event<\/a>. The two then got into a bit of a back-and-forth on social media, so it wasn’t a surprise that Cormier had some harsh words for Paul on his podcast.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Ariel Helwani on the “DC and Helwani”<\/a> podcast, Cormier said that he would beat Paul if they ever fight, but he’s not interested in the matchup. Instead, Cormier is suggesting that Paul go out there and fight Luke Rockhold.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis dude would never fight me. I would kill him. Why would I ever fight someone like that? But my immediate reaction was, \u2018I can\u2019t stand this kid.\u2019 So it works! I can\u2019t stand this kid! But who punches down? You don\u2019t punch down to somebody. I\u2019m the guy that\u2019s in the Hall of Fame. I\u2019m the guy that won two world championships at the same time,” Cormier said (h\/t BadLeftHook<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not gonna punch down to some kid that\u2019s on YouTube that\u2019s, like, \u2018Fight me!\u2019 Like, why? What have you done to earn the right to fight me? So, no, it\u2019s silly and stupid. But I would like him to fight Tyron. I would like to see him fight somebody more real. Don\u2019t fight Ben Askren at 190, bloated. Fight a middleweight (185 lbs in MMA). Fight Luke Rockhold! Let me see you fight Luke Rockhold or somebody like that. And then I will not only say that you have base skills, I will say you\u2019re a real fighter. Because right now it\u2019s all pretend. It\u2019s all pretend.\u201d<\/p>\n
