Daniel Cormier questions Jake Paul's | MMA News
After struggling a knockout loss to former two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua leaving his jaw damaged in a number of locations, Jake Paul called out former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou.
“I told everyone that I would do better than Francis. Francis has kind of got no chin. Francis is low key soft,” Paul recently said on the IMPAULSIVE Podcast with Logan Paul. “I’ll fight Francis. That’s a good idea, actually. I think maybe now he’ll take it.”
Paul’s resolution to goal Ngannou left former two-division UFC titleholder Daniel Cormier scratching his head.
“Jake Paul just bought his head bashed in by Anthony Joshua. Right? That was about as big a studying lesson that anybody might have been taught,” Cormier said on his YouTube channel.
“Here’s the issue. Jake Paul has confirmed to be, he is confirmed to be one, hard-headed, two, more daring and courageous than anybody might have ever imagined.”
Cormier considers Paul ‘bold and brave’ for agreeing to fight Joshua without stipulations. That ‘bold and brave’ mentality also put Paul in over his head, and Cormier thinks it might again.
“It would appear like his daring and courageous angle actually value him. And with that daring and courageous angle a lot of the instances comes cowardice after. Not Jake Paul. Not Jake Paul. You can love him, you may hate him, but he is courageous,” Cormier said.
“I might have thought, I swear to God, I might have thought that after what occurred with Anthony Joshua, Jake Paul would say, ‘Okay, let me rematch Anderson [Silva] or anyone … You would have thought Jake Paul would go, ‘You know what? I’m going to rematch Anderson. Maybe I’ll discover another combined marital artists man that’s a little bit over the hill to attempt to battle where it is more protected and it is a more managed setting because the issue with the Anthony Joshua battle is it wasn’t managed. It was just a battle. That’s not Jake Paul. He immediately goes back after Francis Ngannou. It’s loopy to me.”

Paul was undersized against Joshua and would be similarly undersized against Ngannou. Cormier believes Paul is out to prove Joshua didn’t ‘knock the scared into him.’
“For as small as Jake appeared against Anthony, he’ll look equally as small against Francis Ngannou. But I feel what’s taking place with Jake is he is wanting other show that Anthony Joshua did not knock scared into him, which in actuality he most likely ought to have knocked a little scared into him,” Cormier said.
Cormier believes the call out of Ngannou by Paul was a mistake and that the influencer-turned-boxer should reconsider.
“I just do not suppose he (Paul) can damage him. I just do not know that he can damage Francis like he thinks he can damage Francis,” Cormier said. “You can never query the boldness of Jake Paul. You might never query the toughness of Jake Paul. I query his smarts.”
“I feel he wants to rethink,” continued Cormier.
