High-ranked UFC featherweight hilariously reacts after learning Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury is in the works again
Arnold Allen reacted to the news that Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury has reportedly been booked for the third time.
Paul was first supposed to fight Tommy Fury in December 2021. The fight didn't materialize as Fury had to pull out of the bout due to a rib injury and a chest infection.
Their second bout was booked for last August. This time, Fury was unable to make the fight due to travel issues. Now, multiple sources have confirmed that Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury has been booked for a third time.
The news was first reported by Ariel Helwani, with the bout being scheduled for February 25. Arnold Allen hilariously reacted to the announcement on Twitter, writing:
"I 'studied' some of their fights to make a youtube breakdown on this before it fell through last time, not sure I'll be doing that again"

Arnold Allen's reaction was similar to that of many fans, who appeared skeptical about the fight finally coming to fruition.
'Almighty' had a stellar year in 2022, with two TKO wins over top names in the division. He faced Dan Hooker at UFC London in March, securing a first-round TKO win.
He next faced Calvin Kattar in the headliner of UFC Vegas 63, where he secured a TKO victory after his American counterpart blew out his knee after a failed flying knee attempt.
Arnold Allen is currently undefeated in the UFC with a 10-0 record. He has an overall MMA record of 19-1.

'The Problem Child' was originally supposed to face 'TNT' in December 2021, but Fury pulled out of their bout due to medical reasons. As a replacement, Tyron Woodley stepped in for a rematch, with 'The Chosen One' infamously getting knocked out clean by Paul in the sixth round.
No replacement was chosen when the bout fell through for a second time last summer.
