JAKE PAUL blasts UFC star Anthony Smith for being 'ignorant and stupid' in wanting to fight Khabib Nurmagomedov.
25-year-old The Problem Child called out the 29-0 retired superstar last month.
Khabib Nurmagomedov laughed at Jake Paul's
call.
Khabib, 33 years old, laughed at the offer and claimed that Paul had 'to learn lots'.
Smith, 33, was a former UFC light heavyweight champion.
He stated, "That's the most ignorant thing that I've ever heard in all my life."
"Justin" Gaethje is a Division 1 All-American. Khabib doesn't have any problem getting Gaethje to the ground and keeping him there.
"Jake Paul doesn’t have enough time left on this planet to bridge the gap between himself and Khabib wrestling.
"I find it hard to believe that one person could be so stupid."

Nurmagomedov, upon hearing the news, said that YouTube boxer would be welcomed to train at his Eagle FC promotion.
Paul responded by saying: "Deal. Only if you fight me first.
Khabib responded to the Full Send podcast by saying: "Come on Jake Paul, it's not so. It takes a few minutes in MMA.
He said, "I watch a sparring match or a video where he does MMA with another person. He has to learn a lot."
He knows how to punch in boxing. Although his boxing skills are not terrible, his wrestling skills are quite different.
We can offer him a chance to fight in MMA if he so desires. We can sign him to Eagle FC and pay him. We'll see."
