Youtuber boxer Jake Paul has stated that he can beat UFC bantamweight champion Alex Pereira.
"I'm 1000% sure I would have beaten Alex. Khalil Rountree showed his holes, he shook him. Pereira doesn't like body punches. Yes, in MMA Alex would rip my head off, but boxing is a completely different sport in terms of pace and style. It has weaknesses. Rountree shook him up, took a couple of body shots, but didn't follow through. So, if anything, this fight showed me that yes, Alex Pereira is great. But I know I would beat him in a boxing match. I would like to see that happen. There's a lot of pressure on him. If he finds a way to leave the UFC, we would make a deal with him," MMA Mania quoted Paul as saying.
