Jake Paul says he wants to fight Jorge Masvidal or Nate Diaz next as he looks to add more UFC victims to his CV after his stunning sixth-round knockout of Tyron Woodley. The YouTube sensation, who has now moved to 5-0 in the pro ranks, is seemingly not interested in handing Tommy Fury another opportunity in the New Year.
Paul is adamant Fury, the younger brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson, backed out of their fight despite a broken rib and bacterial chest infection.
But instead of dwelling on the disappointment, Paul took the chance to add another highlight-reel knockout to his collection.
After stepping in for a rematch on just two weeks notice, Tyron Woodley was knocked out cold in the sixth round following a brutal right hook.
Now Paul wants Masvidal or Diaz next, permitting UFC chief Dana White is willing to let them break their contracts.

“It’s got to be the greatest moment of my life, look at the year I just had,” he told Showtime.
“Unprecedented, one of the most valuable boxers in this sport, four fights, four massive pay per views.
“I’ve knocked out everyone I’ve thought. And Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz, you’re just bitches for leaving this arena.
“I know you don’t want that s***, I’ll take both of you out next, get out of your UFC contracts with Daddy Dana and I’m a f*** them up too.”
When asked who he wants next, he said: “Anyone, any time, any place. It’s everyday.”
Paul also took the chance to praise Woodley for assuring the event went ahead, claiming the 39-year-old is a true warrior.
He added: “This is as real as it f****** gets, just like my right hand.
“I told ya’ll I was going to f*** him up! I told you I was going to f*** him up and I f***** him up!
“This guy is a legend, this guy is a legend, don’t take anything away from him as a UFC champion.
“I respect him for taking this fight on two week’s notice.
“Tommy Fury is a b**** and he backed out of the fight.
“This is a real fighter, a real dog and a warrior. That’s a tough man right there.
“It was a tough fight, the blood was getting into my eye from when he elbowed me.
“He was still fighting dirty, there was a head-butt but I got the job done.
“He didn’t see it coming, he was catching, catching, catching. Come around, good morning! Like a lumberjack, timber.”
