This week on MMA Mathletes, there’s no UFC on the schedule, so we switch gears and get into a massive crossover fight: Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua.

Before we dive in, we recap UFC Fight Night: Brandon Royval vs Manel Kape, which ended in a quick, first-round KO from Kape — a sharp reminder that anything can happen in the fight game, even when the fireworks don’t go long.

Then it’s full focus on boxing. We give our picks for Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua and put together the perfect parlay (or at least, we hope). We break down the key fights and highlight the spots we’re most excited about.

We’re two casual MMA fans who happen to be degenerate gamblers — sharing our picks, locks of the week, and what fights we’re most hyped for.

If you love fight breakdowns, sketchy parlays, crossover boxing chaos, and yelling at your screen when everything falls apart… you’re in the right place.
