Jake Paul pokes fun at Kamaru Usman for UFC 278 KO loss, says he’ll fight in October

Jake Paul was quite active on social media on Saturday where he teased a new fight announcement, and took some shots at the now former UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman.

Following Usman’s stunning final-minute KO loss to new champion Leon Edwards in the main event of UFC 278 on Saturday in Salt Lake City, Paul posted a series of tweets poking fun at Usman for the result.

Paul was also taking photos at Luke Rockhold and Paulo Costa’s co-main events during the event. However, undefeated fighter Paul teased an earlier fight announcement, saying he would be back in 2 months.

” My next opponent is a professional boxer, and he’ll have a winning record like Timmy or Ramen before they were forced to retire. Paul said that October was his goal.

In addition, Most Valuable Promotions — which Paul is a partner in — posted that Paul is requesting that his next fight be contracted at a weight limit of 185 pounds.

Paul was scheduled to face Tommy Fury, and then replacement Hasim Rahman Jr. at Madison Square Garden earlier this month before the event was scrapped altogether due to Rahman’s issues with making the contracted weight of 205 pounds.
