Jake Paul still has plenty of UFC stars left on his hit list.

The controversial YouTuber-turned-boxer returned to the ring on Saturday night in Tampa, Florida, where he levelled former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley with a sixth-round overhand right.

With that win in the books, Paul now has his sights set on four other UFC stars: Kamaru Usman, Nate Diaz, Jorge Masvidal and Conor McGregor. But given that all four men are currently under contract with the UFC, he’ll first need UFC president Dana White’s blessing.

“I just knocked out a five-time UFC champion and embarrassed your whole company,” Paul told the media when asked if he had a message for White.

“Please let me get Kamaru Usman. Please let me get Diaz. Please let me get Masvidal. Please let me get McGregor. I’m going to embarrass them too. I promise you that Dana. I promise you that.”
