Jake Paul vs. Hasim Rahman Jr.
Hasim Rahman Jr. is getting no respect from those in the media, including UFC president Dana White. “I know of him (Rahman Jr.). I saw he just got knocked out by Tommy Morrison’s son,” White said to the media, “He just got knocked out. Why wouldn’t you go after the guy that knocked him out?”
Rahman Jr. is looking to prove everyone wrong. “I like to see the look on people’s faces afterward,” Rahman Jr. said to the media, “Dana White’s not the only person. There’s a few people I can’t wait to see their face when I punish this kid, because they know better. Tim Bradley, Eddie Hearn, Dana White ... they’re going to be like, ‘I knew it.’ But that’s not you said. Stand on what you said.”
Rahman Jr. is considered a heavyweight, while Paul is a cruiserweight, so Rahman Jr. has to make a 200lb limit before a second weigh-in the morning of the fight where he has to be under 214lbs. It has been reported that every pound over is a serious penalty for Rahman in terms of his prize purse.
