Jake Paul purposely lost to Tommy Fury to make the rematch more profitable

The conspiracy part of Twitter... they were saying that Jake Paul, in order to sell the next fight purposely knew that it would be bad if he won this fight. I think the storyline's better for a second fight... because no one would want to watch another one if he just beat him.

There is no evidence the fight was fixed, and Jake Paul's subsequent career move to fight Nate Diaz suggests he was genuinely looking to move on after a loss.

I'm going to beat Billy McFarland in a fight and donate the winnings to the people of the Bahamas

Billy McFarland is down to fight you... Fire fist. Billy verse Billy... It's a battle for the people of the Bahamas. The good people of the Bahamas that sacrificed so much and got so very ripped off... I'm gonna beat his ass. Gonna skull fuck him.

The fight between Billy Football and Billy McFarland never took place.

Dimitri Bivol might be one of the best pound-for-pound fighters of all time

I think Bivol might end up being one of the best pound-for-pound fighters of all time in the world. Maybe in of all time... honestly, for his legacy, which he deserves, I think he needs to fight Canelo again at 168.

Bivol is highly ranked, but 'best of all time' is a subjective and extremely high bar in boxing history.

MMA fighters should start wearing shin guards in professional fights

They should make the shin kicks illegal. Or make them wear shin guards like they do in other MMA sports... I think literally guys are just kicking so hard the shin can't evolve fast enough.

While an opinion, it's highly unlikely the UFC would ever adopt shin guards for pro fights.

I am going to 'skull fuck' Jose Canseco in our fight

I'm going to skull fuck him. ... I'm absolutely going to skull fuck him. No doubt. He's tiny. I mean, yeah, he looks big. He's 270 pounds. But I just care about the frame. He has a smaller frame than I thought.

Billy dominated the fight and Jose quit within seconds.

I will 'wipe Jose Canseco off the face of the earth' and force him to retire from public life

If I beat up Jose Canseco and he loses his fight, I don't see how he can even show his face in public again. So I'm literally wiping him off the face of the earth. We're never going to hear from him again.

Billy did beat Jose Canseco in 15 seconds at Rough N' Rowdy 13. While Jose stayed in the public eye, his fighting 'career' essentially ended there.

I would fight Jon Jones again even if he is on performance-enhancing drugs

At the end of the day, he won the fights, and that's all I want to do is win the fights. So if that means fighting him again, even if he's on the stuff, I mean, you have to do it. So, yeah, of course I want to fight him again.

They never fought a third time, so this remains a subjective statement of intent.

Floyd Mayweather is a 'small little boy' and that's why the media glosses over his past

Hey, Floyd's a little boy. That's why. He's a small little boy. He's not this big heavyweight guy that everybody's afraid of. He doesn't come across as a woman neither because he's a little guy.

This is Tyson's personal theory and observation about public perception.

Former NFL linebacker James Anderson could clean out the UFC heavyweight division

James Anderson... I've been actually trying to convince to fight. ... This dude could fight. He really could. He is so athletic and violent, and he understands it. And he's not a big name, but he would clean out the heavyweight division.

Anderson never fought professionally in the UFC, so his dominance is theoretical.

Kimbo Slice meant as much to our generation as Muhammad Ali meant to our parents' generation

It's a hot take, but it's kind of the correct take. Kimbo Slice meant a lot, too, to us. Because that early YouTube time, when he – do you remember watching those videos of Kimbo just bashing people's skulls in and saying, what the hell is going on? He was the baddest guy I've ever seen.

The impact of internet culture vs. mainstream cultural icons is subjective but culturally significant for millennial fans.
