“Dear Connor, I know you told my team you would fight me at 170 pounds.” Paul wrote about X. “That will never happen. But let's do it in MMA. There are no weight classes, just like they used to do. But you don't do that.”
He didn't stop there.
In his post-fight interview, Paul mocked super middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and WBA lightweight champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis, possibly teasing his next big name fight.

“He's exactly what I thought he would be,” Paul said after the game. “He's an icon. He's a legend.
“We wanted to give the fans a show,” Paul added. “But I didn't want to hurt anyone who didn't need to be hurt.”
