UFC giant Conor McGregor hasn’t responded to Jake Paul’s challenge, despite the latter’s comments on his wife and boxing career.

However, Jake Paul is adamant about fighting McGregor as he already offered him $50 million. But UFC chief Dana White has ruled out the fight. instead, he has offered to let Amanda Nunes battle ‘The Problem Child’.

While he mostly believes McGregor wouldn’t accept the fight, a part of him says he might. In his podcast, KSI cleared out his mind to the netizens.
He said. “Conor ain’t gonna fight Jake (Paul). That’s never gonna happen. Oh bro, actually you know what (laughs). What I realized in this world is that anything can happen.”

KSI appears to be a Conor McGregor fan
Other than the hardcore fight fans, many may actually want to see the fight happen. However, KSI doesn’t want McGregor to do it at any cost.

This potential fight doesn’t seem to be on the cards. Jake Paul might have to look for some other NBA players or YouTubers to take his career to 3-0. He could fight Ben Askren as the former fighter has accepted his challenge.
Conor McGregor will address his future post-UFC 257, but fans are confident that it may not include Jake Paul.
