O'Malley expressed his enthusiasm for the matchup, highlighting the compelling dynamic it would bring to the combat sports arena.
"He called out Alex Pereira. That fight won’t happen unless Dana says, ‘I’m sick of seeing Jake beat all these UFC guys,’” O'Malley stated. “Imagine Alex Pereira vs. Jake Paul. Dude, Alex has crazy power in both hands, but the dude literally throws from his hips. He is there to be hit. I love the callout. Imagine we get to see that.

You’ve gotta set yourself up for those opportunities, and Jake’s doing that better than anybody right now."
One of the key points O'Malley raised is the anticipation of Paul facing a top-20 boxer in his weight class. This potential matchup would serve as a true litmus test for Paul's skills and validate his position within the boxing hierarchy.
"He hasn’t fought a top let’s say 20 guy in the world; a top-20 boxer in his weight class,” O’Malley noted. “That’s when you’re really gonna be able to see how good Jake Paul is. … I personally enjoy watching him fight these MMA guys. I like those fights. But I’m here for whatever. I like these crossover fights."
