In an interview with MMA Fighting, Brown outlined how Davis could beat Paul and said:

"I tell you what we’re going to learn, if 'Tank' Davis takes it serious, 'Tank' Davis is going to beat his ass. I just don’t know if 'Tank’s' going to take it serious. Mentally, I don’t know how checked out he’s been for a while, to be honest... I don’t know where he’s at mentally."

He continued:

"But if he’s at the top of his game mentally, he should destroy Jake Paul easily. I say that because Tank has amazing defense. He’s little and he’s way faster. Jake is not good enough to catch him. Like Tank should be able to run circles around him and touch him up. He may not knock him out. He’s got 100 f*cking pounds on him but [Tank] is going to touch him and he’s going to hurt him. He should not really get hit much in this fight."

"We can't explain that, man. Sometimes, the energy just don't match. There are different people, different natures, different character. It's just how it is. That's how it's been my whole life, if I don't like you, I'll straight up tell you to your face, 'I don't like you.'"
