Mike Perry warns UFC boss Dana White ‘it’s not looking good’ for $2m Ben Askren bet after training with Jake Paul

UFC bad boy Mike Perry has warned Dana White he could end up losing his million-dollar bet on Ben Askren to beat Jake Paul.

Earlier this month, the UFC chief backed the retired mixed martial artist to win his upcoming boxing match with the YouTuber.

UFC boss Dana White (M) recently told Mike Tyson he’d $1M on Ben Askren beating Jake PaulUFC welterweight Mike Perry is seemingly tipping Jake Paul to beat Ben Askren

A confident White told Mike Tyson and Zab Judah he’d happily bet $1,000,000 on Askren having his hand raised, an outcome Perry believes is unlikely after training with the younger Paul brother.

The UFC welterweight tweeted: “Idk Dana White, I just got some work with Jake Paul and it’s not looking good for Ben Askren …. #IronSharpensIron.”

White believes Askren’s vast experience in combat sports will guide him to victory against the 2-0 Paul.

He said: “Let’s be honest. Jake Paul is not a f***ing boxer. This guy’s a f***ing YouTube kid.

“Zab, no bulls***t So you’re saying he can fight? So the kid he’s going to fight, Askren, he’s a wrestler.

“A real good, decorated wrestler. But he’s actually fought real guys.

“He’s been a world champion in other organisations than MMA.

“I’ll bet a million dollars he (Paul) loses this f***ing fight.”

DOUBLE OR NOTHING

White’s confidence in Askren quickly came to the attention of Paul, who immediately upped the ante.

The former Disney actor said: “Dana let’s double the bet up! $2 Million.

“We wire the money into escrow. $4 million total. Winner takes all.”

Paul, 24, recently predicted a first-round KO of Askren, who has no professional boxing experience to his name.

Alongside a recent video of him pulling a fire engine, Paul wrote: “I’m literally a tow truck.

“Ben Askren eatin’ Oreos right now. April 17th. 1 round knockout.”

And the social media star reckons his latest opponent won’t lay a glove on him.

He told ESPN: “Go Google Ben Askren’s striking.

Jake Paul has vowed to knock out Ben Askren inside one round

“Hahaha. It’s not going to go that long, it’s not going to go that long.

“I don’t even think he’ll hit me. I haven’t been hit one time in the face in my past two fights.

“So I haven’t even been punched as pro boxer one time. Nate Robinson landed one body shot in a clinch.

“I don’t think Ben Askren will even hit me. That’s my prediction.”
