At a pre-fight media conference for UFC Vegas 77, Chelsea Chandler, among many, made explicit accusations against Jake, alleging that he may be relying on performance-enhancing substances to achieve his impressive muscle mass.
“Look at Jake [Paul], he is on steroids. Okay, and those guys gas out. You got big muscles, they get tired. So, Nate [Diaz] pushes it into the later rounds, I think he’s gonna take it.” Chelsea said.
As the event draws nearer, these allegations and suspicions add an extra layer of excitement to an already eagerly awaited showdown. It remains to be seen if any official investigations will be taken in response to the concerns raised.
