Colby Covington might have a talent for working up a crowd, but even he could learn a thing or two from Jake Paul.
The popular YouTube star—and now aspiring professional boxer—was the most hated man in the building at UFC 261 this past weekend, and he wasn’t even part of the card. With Paul in the crowd, a large section of fans in attendance at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena began to chant “f*ck Jake Paul” with enough support and zeal that it nearly drowned out everything else on the broadcast. The chant arose several times during the show and Paul’s presence was recognized by both commentator Daniel Cormier and UFC President Dana White by night’s end.
