UFC fans genuinely can't believe who Jake Paul called out in the ring following his big win over Mike Perry.
Paul stopped Perry in the sixth round in their bout last night as fight fans questioned the cruiserweight clash.
Conor McGregor reacted to Paul's win over Perry by making a drastic decision.
And he also took aim at 'The Problem Child' as he made a shocking accusation against the YouTuber-turned-boxer.

The UFC superstar bemoaned his rival's decision to fight boxing legend Mike Tyson, too.
Paul seems to be eyeing his next opponent after Tyson as he sensationally called out UFC champion Alex Pereira during his post-fight interview.
"Alex Pereira, you said you want to box, I’m the king of this, come over, we can make this happen," he said.
Asked by Ariel Helwani if he wants to face the UFC light-heavyweight king, Paul replied: "Indeed [I am serious], I’ve beaten multiple UFC champions, he said he wants to box."
UFC fans on social media were left shocked by Paul's challenge to 'Poatan' and are convinced the Brazilian fighter would end the 27-year-old's boxing career.
One X user wrote: "Dana White could easily end this whole charade, just let Alex Pereira fight Jake Paul."
A second wrote: "He’s got a death sentence now. Chama!!!!"
A third added: "Get the shadow realm ready."
A fourth said: "Poatan would end Jake’s career."
Another commented: "One left hook and dude will be in another realm of darkness. I can bet my life on it."
Pereira, who's one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the UFC, has enjoyed a stunning career inside the famed Octagon since joining the MMA leaders.
He became a two-weight UFC champion in just seven fights and has defended his 205lbs title twice against top contenders Jiri Prochazka and Jamahal Hill.
Of course, the 37-year-old transitioning to boxing, even though he has discussed it, seems unlikely at this stage considering his contract with the UFC.
But, if Paul vs. Pereira did come to fruition, then people clearly know who is coming out on top.
