UFC fighter and now boxer Jorge Masvidal explained why the UFC never allowed him to have any combat against online sensation Jake Paul.Masvidal‚ who retired from MMA in April 2023 only to reveal that he was still signed to the UFC‚ has forayed into professional boxing with a match against fellow UFC alumnus Nate Diaz.During an appearance on &;quot;The MMA Hour‚&;quot; Masvidal explained why he never had a fight against Paul in boxing nor mixed martial arts. Paul has consistently called out Masvidal for a fight since 2020.&;quot;I’ll address this little coward right now because I know he’s watching this s**t like a little creep‚&;quot; Masvidal told host Ariel Helwani. &;quot;This little pervert creep be peeping on your show‚ brother.&;quot;&;quot;Listen [Jake]‚ the UFC doesn’t like your b***h a**. Dana White‚ don’t like your b***h a**. Obviously‚ Hunter Campbell doesn’t like your b***h a**. They said‚ ‘We’re not going to let you make money with this guy‚’ because at the end of the day‚ we’re partners. Me and Nate‚ we’re going to make money right now.”Masvidal explained that the UFC's top executives were not interested in making Paul any type of money or increasing his brand. In fact‚ the Cuban fighter revealed that UFC President Dana White had even sponsored Paul's opponent‚ Mike Tyson‚ for their boxing match. &;quot;They don’t care for that motherf**ker ... I get why they don’t want me to f**k with him and make him any notoriety or money. They don’t give a f**k about him. [If] Jake runs up on me somewhere else where it’s not a ring or something‚ we can find out‚ bro‚&;quot; he said threateningly.&;quot;Whether he likes me or not‚ we’re going to make a f**king ton of money‚&;quot; Masvidal said of his fight with Diaz.Paul publicly called out Masvidal again following a press conference he had with Diaz.&;quot;Two of the biggest names in MMA can’t keep my name out their mouth at their press conference that nobody watched‚&;quot; Paul wrote on X. &;quot;Already told both of these bozos to come see me in PFL [because] in boxing they got no shot. $10M for either of them.&;quot;Masvidal took issue with Paul's suggestion that they could have an MMA fight in the competing promotion‚ PFL.&;quot;You’re talking about the PFL‚ the f**k are you going to do in MMA&;#63; Are you kidding me&;#63; You can’t even box. Now‚ you’re going to fight in MMA&;#63; I would kick your f**king kneecap off your fragile body‚” Jorge Masvidal stated.Masvidal‚ 39‚ also suggested that $10 million would be a pay cut for him‚ and a fight in the other promotion was completely unrealistic given his relationship with the UFC.&;quot;Under no circumstances&;quot; would the UFC allow a &;quot;top draw&;quot; to go to PFL and make them‚ Masvidal said. — (@) Masvidal and Diaz will box on June 1‚ 2024. Paul and Tyson will box on June 20‚ 2024.Like Blaze News&;#63; Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here&;#33;

New York Police Department officers raided an open-air market run by illegal migrants on Roosevelt Avenue near 91 Street in Jackson Heights‚ the New York Post reported.A day before the raid‚ the Post published an expos&;eacute; on the illicit street market‚ where migrants have been selling stolen goods at discounted prices. Most of the items were snagged off the shelves of nearby businesses‚ which have been complaining about an uptick in shoplifting. Merchants and residents have made more than two dozen calls to 311 this year to report the illegal activity in the area.Each morning for several months‚ migrants have been laying blankets and towels on the street to display the stolen goods for sale. The items range from power tools to hygiene products. Tags belonging to the merchant from which the ill-gotten goods were stolen remain on some of the items.The block has also become overrun by illicit brothels‚ with sex workers roaming the streets in search of customers. The Post reported that NYPD officers raided the street market on Monday after 4:30 p.m. and seized some of the stolen merchandise.NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell said‚ &;quot;We responded today.&;quot;&;quot;We've been here before‚ whether it be brothels‚ illegal bikes‚ vending now. So‚ this will be a continuing process. It's gonna take a while but we owe it to the residents of Queens‚&;quot; he explained.According to the news outlet‚ spotters informed many of the illegal vendors about the impending raid‚ affording them enough time to flee the scene before officers arrived. Prostitutes were reportedly seen ducking into nearby buildings to avoid police.A spokesperson for the NYPD told the Post that no arrests were made as a result of the Monday raid.One neighbor said the illegal market would be back up and running after police leave the area. &;quot;They'll be back. No question‚&;quot; the resident told the news outlet. &;quot;The TV cameras and the cops ran them off today‚ but they'll all be back tonight.&;quot;Milton Reyes‚ who manages a pharmacy on the block‚ told the Post earlier this week that the situation is &;quot;relentless.&;quot; &;quot;[Police] will come by and they will pick up a few of them. But as soon as the police car pulls away‚ they start moving back. Twenty minutes later‚ they're all set up again like nothing happened‚&;quot; Reyes remarked.
