#3. Sean O'Malley understands why UFC fighters are jealous of him

Sean O'Malley is one of the most popular fighters on the UFC bantamweight roster. In the MMA world, money often comes with fame and, for that reason, O'Malley makes more than many of his constituents.

With that in mind, O'Malley believes it's totally understandable why certain fighters are jealous of his success. Appearing on a mini-documentary that's produced by Anatomy of a Fighter, 'Sugar' said:

"Some fighters being jealous, I do see that. That's just a natural human tendency, it's also a mental weakness when you are jealous of someone else's success. That's just a mental weakness really. But I see it. I mean, these guys fighting tougher guys than me and they're driving f***ing Toyota, Priuses, you know, driving to their little house. And I'm sitting in a mansion with a Lambo, two Teslas out in the garage, you know, couple of acres, just chilling."

Chael Sonnen has said it before, and he said it again -- The boxing community is afraid of Jake Paul.

According to Sonnen, boxing experts are concerned that fans might start drawing comparisons between professional boxer's and Paul's success. During an interview with Middle Easy, 'The American Gangster' said:

"Boxing truly is very worried that some guy can step in later in life without full focus and do well. And you know what, I am that people, to a degree."

Sonnen added that Paul's success raises questions about the extent to which someone needs to dedicate their life to get into the sport:

"I'm just sharing with you the psychology. We have seen this before. The boxing community is scared to death that a 25-year-old is gonna step in and be able to beat people. And he's already beat world champions. He's knocked out world champions."

#1. Khamzat Chimaev gets criticized for trolling Paulo Costa

UFC welterweight rising star Khamzat Chimaev was once an internet darling, while Paulo Costa was the butt of jokes on social media. However, their roles seem to have been reversed in the past few weeks.

Chimaev recently took a shot at Costa on social media. The Chechen-born Swede posted a photo of Costa getting infamously dry-humped by Israel Adesanya after their title fight.

However, fans on Twitter weren't pleased with Chimaev's tactics. Many came to Costa's defense and went after 'Borz.'
