Liver King-esque steroid-fueled UFC legend could mess up Jake Paul, says Brendan Schaub

Jake Paul recently signed a multi-year deal with the Professional Fighters League (PFL), where he will compete in the pay-per-view super fight division that he co-founded.

Playing matchmaker, Brendan Schaub suggested a steroid-fueled UFC veteran's name for Paul's MMA debut. Schaub noted that Paul was recently called out for a boxing matchup by former UFC fighter Donald Cerrone, who is now admittedly on steroids.

Schaub compared 'Cowboy' to social media influencer Liver King, whose steroid use was recently exposed. According to 'Thicc Boy', a Liver King-esque Cerrone can mess up guys like Paul. If not 'Cowboy', Schaub suggested Nate Diaz, who's already on 'The Problem Child's radar. The 39-year-old said in an interview with The Schmo:

​

"Cowboy's down to fight him but Cowboy had one contingent where you couldn't test him because he's Liver King right now. He's on all the sauce and he looks fantastic. So he would mess some dudes up right now. So if it's not Cowboy, Nate Diaz could be there. If PFL can afford it."

Cerrone has been openly using steroids since his retirement from MMA, resulting in a huge bulk in his physique. The 39-year-old claimed to be a fountain of youth after injecting himself with PEDs.

Jake Paul is seemingly uninterested in fighting Donald Cerrone

Donald Cerrone recently expressed interest in a boxing clash against Jake Paul, eyeing a lucrative payday. 'Cowboy' also gave credit to Paul's skillset, which he considers legitimate.

However, 'The Problem Child' rejected Cerrone's call-out on grounds of age. Paul, who has built a career off of beating washed-out MMA fighters, is now looking for younger opponents. The 25-year-old said in an interview with The Schmo:

​

"I don’t know, I’m kind of tired of beating these old dudes up like that, you know what I’m saying. I’m just trying to get someone in there who is younger, but they’re all scared. They’re just trying to protect their record.”

Paul has since offered Nate Diaz a two-fight deal with one outing each in boxing and MMA. Meanwhile, a roided-up Cerrone has been called out by fellow UFC veteran Mike Perry for a bare-knuckle boxing match.
