Mixed martial arts legend Demetrious \u2018Mighty Mouse\u2019 Johnson has given his thoughts on the upcoming Jake Paul and Ben Askren fight, and believes the YouTuber has the knockout power to take down his former UFC alum.<\/strong><\/p>\n YouTubers have been stepping into the boxing ring for years in order to settle their beefs, but, the Paul brothers have gone above and beyond.<\/p>\n The pair of them have had professional bouts, with Jake Paul moving away from fighting fellow content creators and focusing on actual athletes.<\/p>\n He delivered a knockout against former NBA journeyman Nate Robinson that was meme\u2019d around the world, and now he\u2019s preparing to fight former UFC fighter Ben Askren.<\/p>\n When he\u2019s not fighting, Mighty Mouse can be found on Twitch.<\/span><\/div>\n Touching further on Askren\u2019s involvement, the Flyweight superstar said it\u2019s a \u201cfun fight\u201d for him to get involved with and make some money from as he only has to focus on striking, not multiple disciplines.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s just got done being retired, he had a shot at the UFC. S**t, why not box? Why not box a YouTube star. He\u2019s displayed he can be dangerous, but he\u2019s not going to have to worry about a flying knee to his face,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n While plenty are backing Paul, the final result will come in the ring on April 17, and it remains to be seen if he\u2019ll live up to the pre-fight predictions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"Jake](\"https:\/\/www.dexerto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Jake-Paul-sparring.png\")
