Youtuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul and UFC superstar Conor McGregor have a lengthy history of verbal spats. So much so, that McGregor ridiculed Paul after his latest victory over BKFC fighter Mike Perry. The latter made an appearance on his brother Logan Paul’s podcast, where he took the opportunity to slap back at the former UFC champion by calling him a “coke head”. 

‘The Problem Child’ continued to criticize McGregor while drawing comparisons between him and boxing star Ryan Garcia. Do you believe there are any parallels between the two? Let’s hear Paul’s thoughts on the matter. 

Conor McGregor: Entertaining or a coke head? 

The Ohio native sat down for a podcast with his brother Logan Paul, their mother – Pam Stepnick, and Impaulsive co-host Mike Majlak. They discussed McGregor’s recent inactivity in the UFC, which he attributed to a broken tibia. Logan, though, praised the UFC star for being entertaining and said, “He’s a broken man but he is entertaining and that’s why I still like Conor McGregor.” Even Majlak asserted that “he’s the most entertaining.”

However, Jake swiftly interrupted and said, “And so is Ryan Garcia but they’re both crashed-out coke heads…it’s pretty similar.” Garcia’s social media behavior has caused a stir online of late, with many people believing that drug abuse is the cause of this behavior. Paul and McGregor have never gotten along, and he dismissed the idea that McGregor may be entertaining by calling him a cokehead similar to Garcia.

Moreover, Paul has also been calling out McGregor for a potential fight for a long time. But the latter never reciprocated. Why do you think that is? See what Paul thinks about it.

Jake Paul claims McGregor is hiding behind his UFC contract

Crossover fights have turned out to be quite popular in combat sports. The boxing match between McGregor and Floyd Mayweather is one of the sport’s most profitable bouts. Indeed, fans would overwhelmingly back Paul vs McGregor given their massive popularity. However, the 27-year-old boxer believes that the Irishman will not breach his UFC contract on the line, and even UFC president Dana White won’t allow it.  

The Ohio native explained, “He won’t fight me. I’ve said it since a long time ago. Conor McGregor, he’s owned by Dana White. He probably can’t get out of his contract but that’s what he will hide behind, because he is not getting in there. So all the sh** talk, all of that, he won’t put it on the line.”

Although the Irish fighter has never responded to Paul’s call-outs, it would be an exciting matchup for both UFC and boxing fans. Only time will tell if it ever comes to fruition. Meanwhile, what do you think of Paul comparing McGregor and Garcia? Let us know in the comments below.
