‘I’m there to take your head off’ – UFC star Jorge Masvidal gives brutal Jake Paul fight prediction in callout to rival
JORGE MASVIDAL has brutally warned Jake Paul to avoid fighting him - if he wants to keep his head on his shoulders.
Paul has built a rivalry with the likes of Masvidal and others UFC stars during his polarising prizefighting career.
He has beaten ex-MMA champions in Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, and Anderson Silva in the boxing ring.
Paul, 26, fell to his first defeat in February, losing to unbeaten boxer Tommy Fury by split-decision in Saudi Arabia.
Now ex-UFC title challenger Masvidal, 37, has promised to hand the YouTuber more than a points loss if they were to ever fight.
He told : “Jake Paul wouldn’t be ready for that heat. I’m throwing with bad intentions and I’m a pro with 50 fights.

"I’m not gonna get tired throwing heat and I’m there to take your head off.
"You’re gonna have to do some really evasive things in that ring to get away from me. Jake hasn’t hit that stride yet.”
Paul has talked up fighting Masvidal or ex-UFC welterweight Nate Diaz, 37, but instead looks set to rematch Fury in the summer.
Meanwhile, Masvidal returns to the octagon at UFC 287 on April 8 against Brazilian Gilbert Burns.

The ex-backyard brawler-turned pay-per-view attraction has not fought since March of 2022 against friend-turned-enemy Colby Covington.
Covington won on points over five rounds but the feud did not end there following a street brawl in Miami a month later.
Masvidal, who has previously pled not guilty, was accused of attacking Covington with the case set to go to trial on May 22.
