Before the fight, Jake was talking about fighting super-stars after he dispatched Robinson. Now, in typical Jake Paul fashion, he has called out UFC star Conor McGregor and his teammate Dillon Danis. In the post-fight interview, Paul said, “There’s a long list of opponents I want. Conor McGregor, Dillon Danis, I’m going to knock them both out.”

We can not see ‘The Problem Child’ fighting Conor McGregor anytime soon. That is too big of a step forward, even with this vicious knockout. However, there has been some bad blood between Dillon Danis and Jake Paul in the past; and maybe that fight could happen. Only time will tell who Paul will step into the ring with next.
