UFC middleweight contender Sean Strickland is more than willing to take Jake Paul up on his 5 million dollar fight offer.<\/p>\n

After Paul (5-0) knocked out Tyron Woodley (0-2) in their highly anticipated rematch this past Saturday, he proceeded to call out UFC welterweight Jorge Masvidal.<\/p>\n

‘The Problem Child’ would later double down on the challenge, offering ‘Gamebred<\/a>‘ a cool $5 million plus pay-per-view points to fight him.<\/p>\n

\u201cMasvidal was like, \u2018I either fight the best people or I fight for money. And you\u2019re neither of those. You ain\u2019t paying the right amount of money.\u2019 Masvidal, I have an offer for you right now, $5 million guarantee, plus percentage of pay-per-views,\u201d<\/em> Jake Paul said on his brother Logan’s Impaulsive<\/a>\u00a0podcast. \u201cThat\u2019s the most you would have ever have made as a fight, ever. So now you can\u2019t say, \u2018I either fight the best people or I fight for money.\u2019 $5 million guarantee, plus pay-per-view. Let\u2019s make it happen. That\u2019s the most you have ever gotten paid. Period, time triple. Daddy Dana just has to let you out of your contract. You work for the UFC. You\u2019re a b***h basically.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Masvidal (35-15 MMA) was quick to respond to Paul’s brash comments with the following rebuttal.<\/p>\n

\u201c1. The UFC isn\u2019t gonna let me go for chump change. 2. Make that 20 guaranteed plus PPV and I\u2019m sure the UFC will be ok with it as long as I break them off their fee and then I\u2019ll gladly break your face,\u201d<\/em> Masvidal wrote on Twitter<\/a>. \u201cIf the UFC still says no because the money is still too low then come over to the ufc, sign a 1 fight deal and we can stipulate I can only box in the cage. If i do anything other than that I will forfeit my purse to you. Come on over and get paid and laid out.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

While Jorge Masvidal does not seem to have much interest in stepping in the squared circle with Jake Paul, UFC middleweight contender Sean Strickland is more than willing to oblige the famous YouTuber.<\/p>\n

Strickland (24-3 MMA), who is set to face Jack Hermansson on February 5, took to Twitter with the following message for Paul.<\/p>\n

\n
