Former two-division UFC champion Daniel Cormier confronted Jake Paul during tonight\u2019s UFC 261 event in Jacksonville.<\/p>\n

Paul (3-0), a famous YouTuber turned boxer, had called out Cormier following his first round knockout victory over Ben Askren<\/a> last weekend in Atlanta.<\/p>\n

\u201cDaniel Cormier (was saying) that\u2019s my boy Ben, he\u2019s gonna beat Jake, he pushed him in the face so he\u2019s gonna win now, chirp, chirp, chirp,\u201d Paul said\u00a0on his brother\u2019s podcast, Impaulsive<\/a>. \u201cI knock him out and he\u2019s on Twitter, \u2018Ben, are you serious, bro, you went down like that. Ben are you kidding me, I can\u2019t believe you did that to the MMA community.\u2019 Shut the f**k up b***h. I\u2019ll beat the f**k out of your fat ass too, just like Stipe did, Cleveland sh*t. I\u2019ll beat the f**k out of Daniel Cormier.\u201d<\/p>\n

Daniel Cormier then followed back at Jake Paul with the following remarks.<\/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,\u201d Cormier said (h\/t\u00a0BadLeftHook<\/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
