it all started when Daniel Cormier called Jake Paul’s close friend and teammate J’Leon Love out for being disrespectful to Tyron Woodley, who was present at the Triller event to corner Ben Askren.
Jake Paul takes no criticism kindly, and no one was surprised when he immediately called DC out for a fight, calling him “fat boy” and threatening to “cook him up Cleveland style”.
Present as an analyst and a commentator at UFC 261 on April 24, 2021, Daniel Cormier confronted Jake Paul in person in front of a live crowd at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena. This is the first time the UFC opened their doors to the fans in full capacity since March 2020.

It cannot be heard what Jake Paul and Daniel Cormier said to each other, but the chant of the crowd is quite audible.
UFC 261 crowd starts a chant against Jake Paul
The MMA fans present at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena did not seem to like the YouTuber-turned-boxer and started a “F*** Jake Paul” chant as the preliminary card of the night unfolded.
Jake Paul entered the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena during the final fight of the prelims between Randy Brown and Alex Oliveira. The crowd, upon spotting him, immediately started the chant, which got the attention of Daniel Cormier at the commentary desk.
Earlier, responding to Jake Paul’s callout, Daniel Cormier told Ariel Helwani on their shared podcast that he would never “punch down” and fight someone like Jake Paul.
In response, Jake Paul went live on his brother Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast, saying he would “beat the f*** out Cormier”.
