Snoop Dogg recently sent a friendly reminder to UFC president Dana White about their pre-fight wager following Jake Paul’s shocking win over former UFC star Ben Askren. The Problem Child took his undefeated pro-boxing record to 3-0 on Saturday night by knocking out Askren in the first round, much to the dismay of White, who was confident that the former Bellator MMA champ will come out on top. Based on Askren’s achievement in MMA and the fighters he has faced in the past, White was predicting a win and was even willing to bet $1 million on Funky.

However, it only took the YouTuber around 70 seconds to finish Ben Askren, who was unable to do anything throughout the clash. Jake Paul grounded the MMA star with a left jab, followed by an overhand right to the temple. Despite a heavy fall, Askren managed to get back to his feet in under ten seconds. However, after examining Funky, the referee called the fight off, claiming that the fighter was in no condition to continue.

Put up two – put up two million and we’ll match it. Come on, Dana, what you waiting on?” the legendary rapper asked. Snoop Dogg then asked White to call him, if he’s up for the challenge and is willing to bet $2 million on the Jake Paul vs Ben Askren clash.

However, the rapper seemed to believe he had won, screaming the sum of money repeatedly after the bout.
