Tommy Fury is currently the best UFC heavyweight in the world, according to MMA math.
'TNT' ended Jake Paul's unbeaten boxing streak last weekend at the Diriyah Arena, Saudi Arabia. After two previously failed attempts to set up a fight, the pair finally faced off in the ring. The eight-round contest witnessed the Brit dominating the YouTuber-turned-boxer and earning a split decision victory. Following the fight, MMAroasted tweeted out saying:
"Tommy Fury beat Jake Paul who beat Anderson Silva who beat Vitor Belfort who beat Hendo who beat Fedor who beat Frank Mir who beat Mark Hunt who beat The Black Beast who beat Francis Ngannou= Tommy Fury is the best HW in MMA right now."
Take a look at the post:
According to MMA math, Tommy Fury has beaten Francis Ngannou and is now the best heavyweight in the UFC. Fans in the comments section sarcastically agreed to the post reiterating the legitimacy of MMA math. However, 'The Predator' is no longer in the UFC after vacating his title and leaving the company in a shock move earlier this year.
Fury, on the other hand, is fresh into his boxing career and fought his hardest opponent in Jake Paul. Before fighting Paul, he mainly fought journeymen, and now looks to become a world champion.
Tommy Fury calls for Jake Paul to honor their fight purse bet
Jake Paul is known for making unexpected and sometimes extreme bets with his opponents. In the build-up to his fight against Tommy Fury, he made a deal with the Brit in which the winner of the fight would win the purse winnings of both the fighters, an 'All or nothing' deal. Despite shaking Paul's hand on camera, 'The Problem Child' claims 'TNT' never signed the contract.
In an interview with Good Morning Britain, Fury spoke about the bet:
"I mean, at the end of the day, we were live on television and we shook hands, so, I mean we'll take that as how you wanna take it. I mean we're old-fashioned guys, so a handshake, it means everything to us, but let's see if he honors it or not."
Following the fight, John Fury also called out Jake Paul for not honoring the deal that they made. However, both Paul and his manager have stated that the Fury family did not sign the deal, so it is not valid.
