Jake Paul was recently having a conversation with ‘The MMA Hour’s Ariel Helwani. During the chat, he talked about going for a boxing match against the UFC superstar, Conor McGregor. Paul said, “Conor McChicken, he don’t want the smoke. He’s an alcoholic, he’s a dr*g addict. He’s out there causing all these problems, about to go to jail for all this crazy s***. He’s not even worried about fighting right now. Right now, he’s worried about being a free man.” 

The YouTuber-turned-boxer believed that he could easily grab the attention of the former UFC double champion by winning against Diaz. As per him, if he were to ever face ‘Mystic Mac’, he would earn a knockout victory against McGregor. But now that Jake Paul has changed his mind, fans might never get to what could happen in a Paul-McGregor fight. Further, ‘The Problem Child’ is of the opinion that McGregor is creating problems for himself.

Back in June, McGregor made headlines for accidentally punching the Miami Heat Mascot during a skit. Even though it was a staged act to promote McGregor’s pain relief spray, things got out of hand when the Irishman ended up hurting the Mascot by punching him twice. This sparked a lot of controversy surrounding the UFC superstar, which made many question his actions. Before this incident, he had been surrounded by several other controversies as well.
