When Jake Paul pranked Ryan Garcia
Ryan Garcia was once pranked by Jake Paul who pretended to have broken his ribs from Garcia's punches during a 'body shot challenge'. The challenge was for Paul to withstand as many shots to the body from Garcia as possible. After Garcia hit him a few times, the YouTube star pulled away, seemingly in pain.

Garcia was made to believe he misplaced one of his shots, ending up severely injuring Paul's ribs. Although Garcia was confident that he had pulled his punches, there was a look of worry on his face as Paul grimaced, seemingly in sheer pain.
Ryan Garcia was then told that Jake Paul needed to be hospitalized and an ambulance had arrived to transport him. As they both entered the ambulance, Paul revealed he wasn't injured and that Garcia was being pranked all this while as both men burst out laughing.
