Jake Paul boldly proclaimed who Conor McGregor badly needs: Jake Paul.
After McGregor suffered an unfortunate ankle injury against Dustin Poirier in UFC 264, Paul put The Notorious on blast, spewing NSFW remarks. Cover your ears, kids (via MMA Junkie).
“I think the funny thing about this journey is I’ve predicted everything that’s happened thus far, 18 months ago when I said I wanted to fight Conor, people laughed at me. Now I’m laughing at Conor with a broken ankle, sitting there in the Octagon, and he needs Jake Paul more than I need him. So, yeah, my offer to Conor is $23, and if we ever fought I would knock those fake-ass teeth right out of his f*cking mouth.”
Paul offering McGregor a measly $23 to fight him was adding insult to injury—a bit literally. The YouTube sensation has been calling out the former UFC champion but their match has yet to happen. In the meantime, Paul will just continue to hurl slander at McGregor.
“Dustin Poirier defeated this man, and Dustin Poirier is an amazing fighter. Don’t get me wrong, (he's an) amazing guy, I actually became a fan of his over the weekend. But he’s 5-foot-9, 155 pounds. I’m 6-foot-1, 200 (pounds). So, Conor McGregor would not stand a chance.”
The 24-year-old Paul, who's won his three boxing fights, all via knockout, is set to face Tyron Woodley in Cleveland this August.
Jake Paul and Conor McGregor have been throwing verbal jabs at each other for months now, and the only way to settle the score is to get inside the ring.
