**Ex-UFC Star Voices Concerns Over Upcoming Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson Fight**
As the highly anticipated Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight approaches, former UFC fighter Brendan Schaub has shared his apprehensions regarding the spectacle. The fight, which will take place next Friday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, is expected to draw a massive crowd of 80,000 fans, eager to witness the clash between the two boxing personalities.
In a recent video posted on his YouTube channel, Schaub detailed his worries about the upcoming bout. "I love Mike Tyson, I love Jake Paul ― I hope it f***ing crushes. But for the life of me, I cannot figure out the upside to this," Schaub stated. He outlined several scenarios, none of which he viewed as particularly positive.
"If Jake knocks out Tyson, it's terrible because he's just beaten up an old man," Schaub explained. "If Jake gets knocked out, people will ridicule him, claiming he's a joke for losing to a 58-year-old."
Schaub continued by highlighting another potential outcome where the fight goes to a decision. "That's a disaster for everyone involved," he claimed. "Going to a decision with a 58-year-old Tyson would be a PR nightmare for Jake Paul and a bad business move for Netflix."
In Schaub's view, the only clear winner in this situation is Mike Tyson. "If Tyson gets knocked out, he's still 58 and still getting paid. If he wins, it's a huge victory for him and his fans. Even if it goes to a decision, Tyson comes out on top," he argued.
Despite the mixed reactions leading up to the event, there's no denying the legendary status of Mike Tyson and the excitement surrounding the fight. While many recall Tyson's prime as an era of spectacular achievements, others are curious to see how this high-profile match with Jake Paul will unfold.
Schaub’s critical perspective sheds light on the broader implications for the fighters and the companies involved. Whether this fight will deliver on the hype or prove to be a misguided venture remains to be seen as the boxing world awaits next Friday's showdown.
