One of the most notable to chime in during the fight was none other than UFC welterweight Gilbert ‘Durinho’ Burns, who shared his opinion on how events were transpiring.

A fellow UFC lightweight would take the time to share his opinion, and it was none other than Michael Chiesa. He touched on the rumours that the fight was “scripted” and “fixed”.

The general public does not realize how serious the implications are if you’re involved in a fixed fight & get caught.

Low level fighters get a lifetime ban & fines. Main event PPV fighters get major athletic sanctions, huge fines & possible jail time.

It’s not that easy.

Many more fighters took the time to chime in, sharing mixed reactions. The funniest of them all might’ve been from rising UFC featherweight Arnold Allen who said: “Should’ve gone to bed. These guys aren’t bad enough that it’s funny and not good enough that it’s good.”

Former UFC fighter and now UFC analyst Alan Jouban shared his opinion in a series of tweets. Despite the opinion of others, he saw Tommy Fury winning handily over Jake Paul.

Jake might have won a close around five but the point deduction, makes it a 9-9 round. So Fury still up 3-1 with a tied 5th. #PaulVsFury
