“Conor McGregor Gonna Do Everything to Discredit Me”: Jake Paul Claps Back at Conor McGregor Over Recent Statements

It has been some time since Jake Paul expressed his willingness to square off with former UFC two-weight category champion Conor McGregor in a crossover fight. However, now that Jake Paul is all set to headline a fight on August 6th on Showtime, fans are already contemplating what would be next for The Problem Child. Lately, Paul appeared on MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani and reiterated his desire to fight McGregor. Although Jake Paul felt the match would get a good profit in terms of business, McGregor somewhat loathed the whole idea.

Following the MMA Hour, Paul appeared on Morning Kombat. On being asked about McGregor’s reply, which the interviewer defined as “curt” compared to that of Diaz, the following is what Paul said:

“Yeah, no, I mean, Conor is going to do everything to discredit me, but it’s clear he wants attention. If I’m nobody, then why are you tweeting at me? The 10 minutes after the interview comes out, it’s like he had my notification on.”

Conor McGregor called Jake Paul a nobody

On MMA Hour, Helwani asked Paul if the world was getting closer to the Conor McGregor vs. Jake Paul fight. Paul, in his response, mentioned two factors that he believed could bring the ‘McGregor vs. Paul showdown’ to fruition for the fans. Number one, Paul felt he had to continue fighting and knock some more fighters out, and number two, McGregor, to get active.

In a surprising move, right after the interview came out, The Notorious took to Twitter and called Paul a nobody. He said Paul had only two fights and only 70K buys from them.

McGregor’s words are straightforward. His response, which includes Paul’s pay-per-view buys and the number of fights he’s had, only hints at the fact that Paul lacks the resume or status he needs to fight the elite, McGregor.

However, when Paul talked about fighting a few more fighters before facing McGregor, did he not already hint at attaining that resume McGregor was shedding light on later?

Anyway, McGregor has not entirely rejected the idea of fighting Jake. Although he, being the elite fighter he is, has shown despise, having clearly not stated his refusal to fight Jake Paul, ‘The Notorious’ has somewhere kept the prospect for a future fight alive and breathing.
