Jon Jones only had praise for Jake Paul.

As Paul continues to make headlines in the combat sports world for mostly the wrong reasons, he did gain some favor from MMA fighters after calling out UFC president Dana White for underpaying the roster.

“Dana, you claimed you would bet $1 million on me losing. Set up Askren to train with Freddie Roach … gave him full access to [UFC Performance Institute] … and he still got his ass handed to him. Seems like you are the real d—- … not Ariel [Helwani]. In my third fight, I made more in total pay than any fighter in UFC history. Maybe it’s time to pay your fighters their fair share?

“No wonder they all want to get into boxing. Dana, you say you make the fights fans want to see … so hurry up and make [Jon] Jones vs. [Francis] Ngannou. Pay them their fair share … $10 million purse for each guy, plus PPV. Why are UFC fighters so underpaid vs. boxers? Why did I make more money in my third fight than all but two [Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor] UFC fighters have in history? I know why …”

That caught the attention of Jones — who is currently embroiled with the UFC over a bump in pay to fight Francis Ngannou — as the former light heavyweight champion went on to praise Paul for putting himself in the position he’s in as well as his victory over Ben Askren.

“Jake Paul congratulations on your victory, that knockout over Ben was absolutely beautiful,” Jones wrote on Twitter. “If you’re seriously making over 5 million for a fight already, that’s wild. I’m so happy for you. Wishing you all the best on your combat sports journey.”

And in typical fashion, Jones would delete the tweet soon after. That said, the message was clearly sent by “Bones” — and it’s hard to believe that most of the roster don’t agree either.

Daniel Cormier is down to fight Jake Paul.

Among the many headlines that took place at UFC 261 this past weekend was the confrontation between Cormier and Paul who was in attendance.

Both individuals were engaged in a verbal altercation with Cormier notably looking ticked off as he exchanged words with the popular YouTuber.

Paul detailed his side of the story and went on to challenge Cormier to a fight. What kind of fight? Naturally, it would be a boxing match.

But “DC” isn’t having that.

He wants to inflict all the punishment he can on Paul. But only if he he has to — after all, the former two-weight champion doesn’t need to chase a payday.

“I don’t want to fight Jake Paul,” Cormier said on his show with Ariel Helwani (via MMA Fighting). “But I’m not gonna let Jake Paul disrespect me. Let me tell you one thing about Jake Paul and I’ll refer back to the Conor McGregor deal. Conor went to fight Floyd, made a ton of money, because he had to. Floyd Mayweather is the greatest boxer of all time, so you go play on his playing field. Why would I go and box Jake Paul? Who I am doesn’t make me chase anything. I made my money as the heavyweight champion of the world. I don’t have to chase a payday.

“This kid wants to fight, okay, I’ll fight him. But it will be a mixed martial arts competition. If he wants to actually fight with me, fight me in mixed martial arts and then I’ll fight him all the way down at 205. I’m living fat and happy and healthy, I’ll go all the way down to 205 to fight this kid in mixed martial arts. If you really want to fight me, like seriously fight me, fight me in mixed martial arts. This is not going to be fun. I’m telling you right now, at 42 years old, bad back and everything, I’m going to torture him and I’m going to hurt him. I don’t want to box him, I don’t want to fight in a limited skill set of rules. If you want to fight me, you really want to fight me, fight me in a mixed martial arts competition. I’ll go all the way back to 205 and I’m going to smash him and I’m going to hurt him and then he can go back to fighting these YouTube kids.

“But don’t think for a second that I would ever chase a payday in boxing because I don’t need it. I’m good. I made my money as the champion of the world. If you want to really fight me, you got an issue with me, fight me in mixed martial arts and I’m going to torture you and I’m going to rip his face apart and I’m gonna hurt the kid. I will teach these kids not to continue to do this with people like me, athletes. I will hurt the kid.”

Do you think an MMA fight would ever happen between the pair?
