Paul, 25, snapped back: “You fight for belts? Last time you fought for a belt was 4 years ago. Lost 3 of your last 4 fights.
“I would knock you out in the squared circle with one hand tied behind my back.

He is set to make a UFC comeback in 2023 following over a year out due to the horror leg break he suffered in his last fight.
