#3. Mike Perry posts document with pre-determined results for Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury
Jake Paul's victories to date have all been plagued with accusations of being scripted. His opponents are constantly taunted for "taking the dive." However, there has been no concrete evidence to back such claims, nor has he ever been investigated for the same.

However, a recent tweet by former UFC fighter Mike Perry has raised serious questions about the integrity of Paul's boxing career. He posted a picture of a document titled "Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury Script - Revision #4-Final".
The draft shows a round-by-round narrative of how the fight will go down, eventually leading to Paul winning by TKO. The paper also states that Fury will suffer from a critical eye injury that will lead to the fight being waved off and the win being rewarded to Paul.
Check out the tweet below:
A while back, Paul had confirmed Perry as the backup fighter for his fight with Tommy Fury.
The fight is set to take place on Sunday, February 26 at Diriyah Arena in Saudi Arabia. WBC is expected to give Jake Paul a place in their rankings if he manages to get through Fury.
#2. Nikita Krylov pulls out of UFC Vegas 70 at the last minute
Halfway through Saturday night's UFC Vegas 70 card, Megan Olivi announced on air that the main event had fallen through as headliner Nikita Krylov had succumbed to sickness.
After administering fluids for around 90 minutes, the UFC medical professionals ruled him unfit for competition. The co-main event fight between Brendan Allen and Andre Muniz was promoted to the top of the card. Allen pulled off an impressive submission win in the third round and earned kind words from fellow fighters.
Dana White later revealed during the post-event press conference that Krylov was suffering from a stomach virus.
#1. "Conor's gonna get some things that he wants" - Dana White on TUF rumors
Conor McGregor recently came under fire for allegedly firing The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) contestants and getting his own teammates into the show.
Speaking on the matter at the UFC Vegas 70 press conference, Dana White was adequately vague and did not confirm anything. However, he did say that Conor McGregor gets some leeway in these matters for obvious reasons. He reassured that no one would lose out on an opportunity. If there was anyone who was cut, the UFC will take care of them:
"You're trying to get guys to commit to coach and you know, to do the coaching commitment, especially when you live in Ireland, you know what I mean? Yeah, Conor's gonna get some things that he wants. Nobody lost an opportunity here. If there were guys that were booked to do that, we'll do something with them... We'll figure it out. We'll take care of these guys."
