Jake Paul seems to be on a roll, offending anyone and everyone he comes across. Making another addition to his list of controversies and questionable behavior, Jake Paul lashed out at UFC veteran Francis Ngannou. The offensive statement came after Ngannou declined Jake’s offer to replace Gervonta Davis in their cancelled fight. Ngannou’s reaction soon followed with a short yet straight ‘Stay in Your Lane’ warning, with fans extending their support towards the UFC champion through comments and reshares.
Francis Ngannou warns Jake Paul amid latter’s fight cancelation
It seems like Ngannou’s rejection of Jake Paul’s offer to replace current WBA lightweight titleholder, Gervonta Davis, was a hard pill for Paul to swallow. Unable to handle the so-called humiliation, Jake blasted Ngannou with an X post.
“Dear Francis – just say you already got humiliated in boxing and are scared to lose to Jake Paul. I accept that. You are light work, my friend. Stuck in mud”, Jake’s social media post read. As expected, fans took to the comment section to bash Jake Paul for his disrespectful post towards a legendary UFC veteran. By the time social media ended the bashing, it was Jake who was dragged and lathered in mud.
However, it was the much-awaited reply from Francis Ngannou that fans around the world concurred with. Ngannou’s short and direct post was a clear indication of a last warning to stop the disrespect before things turned ugly.
“Choose your words wisely, boy. I agree that you need someone to discipline you for what you did to Mike Tyson, but stay in your lane”, Ngannou posted on X.
Supportive comments from the UFC veteran’s fans soon poured in, and they surely didn’t disappoint.
“Sort him out, Francis! We saw what you did to Tyson Fury!” one fan wrote.” Nobody wants to see you knock him out in the first 10 seconds,” another fan commented. “Take the fight, bro. Get paid and stop this dude from making a mockery of the sport”, an ardent fan of Ngannou and the game wrote.
