We all know that Khabib and Conor McGregor were never too fond of one another. But this latest comment from the Russian's manager is straight nonsense. Ali Abdelaziz literally believes that Youtuber turned Boxer Jake Paul would “beat the shit” out of McGregor, per the Independent.
Both fighters don't have a ton of experience in the ring, but to think that Paul could destroy the Irishman is well, a little bit insane. Conor McGregor meanwhile won't care much about these comments as he prepares for a trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier in the Octagon in July.
Paul has already voiced that his venture into the world of boxing is for the chance to eventually fight McGregor, but the UFC star has shown little interest in actually stepping in the ring with him. Jake Paul's last bout saw him knock out for UFC fighter Ben Askren.
Abdelaziz continued on as to why he likes Paul's chances against Conor McGregor.
Jake Paul, I like this kid. You know why? Because he is real. When he talked about Conor’s wife, [Paul] said [McGregor] talked about Khabib’s wife. I like Jake Paul.
Paul also voiced why he believes McGregor would be no match for him.

“First and foremost I’m a better athlete than Conor McGregor,” he said to the Sun. “He never played football, he never played lacrosse, he never wrestled, he was never an All-State football player.
“I’m taller by four inches or so and I’m about 60-pounds, 50-pounds heavier without a weight cut – and that’s what a lot of people don’t understand when I’m hitting these guys; I’ve got knockout power because I’m cutting down from 210lbs.
Who else wants to see Jake Paul and Conor McGregor battle it out? There's no doubt it would be very entertaining to watch.
