Derek Brunson responded to Jake Paul‘s call out. ‘The Problem Child’ called out Derek Brunson on Twitter while speaking about his next potential opponent.

Derek Brunson replied by posting a photo of the Mayweather boxing club, a gym owned by renowned boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr.

The exchange of words started when Derek Brunson spoke about facing Jake Paul in a tune-up fight while waiting for UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya.

Paul was seemingly exploring options for his next opponent when he replied to Brunson. The YouTuber-turned-boxer took to Twitter to go after Jorge Masvidal and Brunson.

“Dana admitted this morning that I would destroy ‘170’ pound Masvidal… So Dana will you give Brunson permission to make some real money? Dana?” asked Jake Paul on Twitter.

Brunson then responded by challenging the 24-year-old to come to the UFC.

He said:

“Blonde Brunson doesn’t lose. I adapt to any environment. I outsmart & outwit then brutalize fighters. @jakepaul come to the @ufc for one fight, we can make whatever rules you want in a contract, then I’m sure @danawhite will loan me for a boxing match! @aliabdelaziz000”
