Marvin Vettori has one eye on the celebrity boxing world ahead of his fight against Kevin Holland on April 10.

‘The Italian Dream’ is potentially just one fight away from a shot at UFC gold but was keen to vent on YouTube star Jake Paul during a recent interview with MMA Fighting.

Vettori is frustrated with the amount of coverage “bullshit ass media” are giving the internet celebrity ahead of his fight with former MMA champion, Ben Askren.

“It’s bad, it’s disrespectful,” Vettori said. “The most disrespectful is also this bullsh*t ass media that I’ve seen all over where they give him credit. With media, it’s a give and take, but at the end of the day the silver lining of every media should be informing. It’s lost. It’s lost by far in general. It could be anything. It could news, it could be MMA. It could be anything. It’s kind of sad to see this. They’re just after any kind of clickbait to put on the news, and the content is just sh*t and it’s getting sh*ttier. It’s sad.”

Vettori went on to invite Paul down to California to train with him at Kings MMA

“Just tell him, somebody go get him and I want to make it a surprise,” Vettori said. “I want to show you something. Just bring him to Huntington. Once he steps in that door, we just lock the door. Trust me, we wouldn’t be unfair. It’s not like we would jump him or something but it’s just like you want to experiencing fighting? Good. Get into the cage and I’ll be glad to welcome him.

“I can send some 145’er that would smash him. It’s all right. It’s the world we live in these days. You can’t do much about it. You just stay in your own lane and do your own sh*t. That’s it really.”

If Paul ever steps up his level of competition, Vettori is willing to meet him in the ring for free.

“I’m all about it,” Vettori said. “Like I said, I’ll basically do it for free. I would.”

Do you think Jake Paul will ever face off against someone like Marvin Vettori?

Here is a story from earlier this year of tonight’s UFC Vegas 41 headliner Marvin Vettori bashing Jake Paul and the MMA media for “showering” him with attention. The following story is presented in its original, unaltered form.

[ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED APRIL 5, 2021, 3:30 PM]

UFC on ABC 2 headliner Marvin Vettori has withstood about all he can bear of the Jake Paul craze.

Like it or not, Jake Paul is one of the most covered names in combat sports. After amassing a strong YouTube following, it was only natural that there would be some attention bestowed upon the 24-year-old as he ventured into the world of boxing as a crossover star of sorts.

The attention he has received from media and fans has exceeded all expectations, though. This has been the case for each of Paul’s fights to this point, but the coverage leading up to his April 17 boxing match against Ben Askren has been next level. It could even be said that the build-up, in some media circles, has been resemblant of a full-on superfight. 

Naturally, some people are going to take exception to all the attention Paul is receiving, including purists of the sport and some fighters. Marvin Vettori is among these people, and he believes that fighters like himself are being disrespected by all the attention Paul is receiving that he feels is both unwarranted and unfair.

“It’s bad, it’s disrespectful,” Vettori said about Jake Paul in an interview with MMA Fighting. “The most disrespectful is also this bullsh*t ass media that I’ve seen all over where they give him credit. With media, it’s a give and take, but at the end of the day the silver lining of every media should be informing. It’s lost. It’s lost by far in general. It could be anything. It could (be) news, it could be MMA. It could be anything. It’s kind of sad to see this.

“They’re just after any kind of clickbait to put on the news, and the content is just sh*t and it’s getting sh*ttier. It’s sad.”

Vettori fails to see any reason why Paul should be credited for anything. Some people believe that his business sense and ability to sustain and grow fan interest in his fights is worth commending. For Vettori, he just sees it all as one big slap in the face.

“To see that people are just jumping on some YouTube like that, it’s just sad,” Vettori said. “There’s people out there who have been giving their whole life to this game, and this guy has been f*king around with other little kids until he came a little famous. Then to try to jump into fighting other [YouTubers], whatever it is, not fighters and picking and choosing. Even just making more money, it’s just disrespectful.”

Marvin Vettori Willing To Fight Jake Paul For Free

Marvin Vettori would like to fight Paul himself, but it’s not what you’re thinking. He doesn’t want to get ensnared in all the Jake Paul hoopla, even if it would come with a large payday. No, he wants to sink Paul like the Titanic but without all the print documenting it.

“Just tell him, somebody go get him and I want to make it a surprise,” Vettori began in his perfect scenario. “I want to show you something. Just bring him to Huntington. Once he steps in that door, we just lock the door. Trust me, we wouldn’t be unfair. It’s not like we would jump him or something but it’s just like you want to experiencing fighting? Good. Get into the cage and I’ll be glad to welcome him.

“I’m all about it,” Vettori said. “Like I said, I’ll basically do it for free. I would.”

In what is no doubt some form of irony, Vettori is contributing to the same media headlines that he detests by addressing Paul in such a coverable manner. There is very little doubt that these flammable comments will be covered by many outlets, thus giving Paul even more attention. Perhaps Vettori is OK with that if his comments work towards what he believes to be the greater good: either minimizing the “disrespectful” coverage of Paul in the long run or enticing the YouTuber to appear in Huntington Beach, California, where a locked gym and tape fists would be awaiting his arrival.

Do you agree with Marvin Vettori’s take on Jake Paul and all the attention he’s receiving?

Logan Paul Thinks A Fight With His Brother Would Be The One Of The Biggest PPV’s Ever

YouTube star, Logan Paul, believes a fight between him and his younger brother Jake Paul could become one of the “biggest and highest grossing pay-per-view combat sports events of all time.”

The older Paul brother has fought professionally just once. The popular internet celebrity fell to a split decision loss against fellow YouTuber KSI in their September 2019 rematch of a fight that took place under amateur rules in 2018 and ended in a majority draw.

He was recently linked to an exhibition bout against Floyd Mayweather but that fight has been scrapped, at least for now.

Jake Paul transitioned to professional boxing in 2020 and has been successful against extremely low level opposition.

Most notably the 24-year-old knocked out former NBA player Nate Robinson on the undercard of Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr.

He’s set for his third professional boxing match against former MMA fighter Ben Askren on April 17.

During a recent interview with Access, Logan Paul predicted a fight against his little brother would be one of the biggest events of all time.

“I’m a showman, so is Jake, and we had a little rivalry on YouTube that has never been matched and I don’t believe it ever will,” Logan Paul explained.

“Our diss tracks against each other have like 300 million views, it was like we were the two brothers that despised each other online. And I think we can probably make a similar wave if Jake and I ever fought each other.

“I’d go ahead and say Logan Paul versus Jake Paul would be one of the greatest, and biggest and highest grossing pay-per-view combat sports events of all time.” (Transcribed by DAZN)

Colby Covington Predicts Ben Askren Will Beat ‘Complete Joke’ Jake Paul

Colby CovingtonColby Covington is backing Ben Askren to cause an upset when he meets Jake Paul in his boxing debut on April 17. ‘Chaos’ and Askren haven’t enjoyed the friendliest relationship over the years but during a recent interview with Helen Yee, Covington made it clear who he’s backing ahead of the bout. “Hopefully Ben goes […]

Colby Covington is backing Ben Askren to cause an upset when he meets Jake Paul in his boxing debut on April 17.

‘Chaos’ and Askren haven’t enjoyed the friendliest relationship over the years but during a recent interview with Helen Yee, Covington made it clear who he’s backing ahead of the bout.

“Hopefully Ben goes out there and knocks out Jake Paul,” Colby Covington said. “I’m just sick of hearing him talk. He’s just running his mouth and there’s no substance behind anything he says.

“I think he will [beat Paul], I think he’s just going to put that pressure on him. If he uses the clinch and just ties him up and just gets him tired, there’s no doubt he has a better gas tank than Jake Paul – some little YouTuber,” Covington added. The kid’s a complete joke, he’s an embarrassment to society, he’s an embarrassment to the MMA and boxing world in general. I hope Ben goes out there and shuts his mouth.”

Askren recently claimed Jorge Masvidal is scared to fight Covington.

“Me and Ben have had a feud and he’s always talked sh*t about me in the media,” Covington said. “We’ve exchanged not-so-nice words in the past and the fact that he’s coming out showing support for me shows that I deserve [the title shot] more than anybody right now and he knows that I’ve been putting in the work. He knows that Jorge Masvidal is scared to fight me.

“Since he ran from me for six months and was scared to fight me, how do you reward that guy and give him another title shot? It doesn’t make sense, I don’t think the fans are happy with it, I think they’re showing by their comments, their support of me, they want to see me back out there, they know I’m the best show inside the Octagon and outside the Octagon.” (Transcribed by BJPENN.com)

Jorge Masvidal further renewed his rivalry with Ben Askren.

Askren gets set to return to competition when he takes on YouTuber Jake Paul in a professional boxing match set to take place April 17 at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.

Paul has been getting some help from Askren’s old rival in Masvidal as they have repeatedly mocked the former UFC welterweight’s five-second defeat and are planning for Paul to knock him out even quicker.

In a recent press conference, Paul even Facetimed Masvidal who took a shot at Askren by asking if he was still alive from his knockout to him.

And with the narrative that Askren is representing the MMA community in this fight while Masvidal is seemingly not by helping Paul, “Gamebred” decided to make one thing clear.

“The individual I buried does not represent MMA,” Masvidal tweeted Sunday. “He represents all the hard core and casual crotch sniffers #andnew”

Masvidal was likely taking a shot at Kamaru Usman in the process as they get set to face each other in a rematch at UFC 261 which takes place next month.

In fairness, Askren doesn’t believe he’s representing the MMA community either as he feels there are way too many people who dislike each other to come together.

And going by Masvidal’s actions, that point is certainly made further clear.
