What started as banter is now a turning into full-fledged war. Verbal attacks are the mode of combat, and it seems everything is fair in this verbal warfare. Ever since Jake Paul added Nate Diaz to his long list of veteran MMA victims, Conor McGregor has been highly critical of the boxer. No stranger to social media battles, ‘The Problem Child’ has hit back with his might. With the animosity heightening, it appears the younger of the Paul brothers is ready to take their bad blood to the steel cage.

Even before the fight with Diaz had settled, Paul believed a fight with the Irishman made sense to him. But the only caveat remained his victory. With that accomplished, he is ready to go. The Dubliner also helped his case as he went on a delete-and-tweet rampage targeting the Youtuber’s boxing credentials. With all requirements met, Paul has now approached UFC President Dana White.

In the first of the deleted tweets, calling Paul a “r*tard”, ‘The Notorious’ wrote, “Absolute garbage he is.” In another tweet, the former UFC champion wrote, “Shut up you little baldy w*gger”.

These tweets didn’t sit well with the YouTuber-turned-prizefighter. He then pointed out McGregor’s recent troubles with USADA. Thus, he wrote in a tweet, “Buddy you need to get into rehab and then USADA. Until then shut the f*ck up. “

He soon followed up with those as he reminded the MMA fighter of his recent dismal record. He declared, “Floyd toyed with you. Dustin chinned you up. Khabib and Nate choked you out. And I would put you in the coffin for good even as juiced up as you are.”

Hence, he exhibited his eagerness to settle the dispute inside a ring. While Paul hasn’t slowed down on his choice words for McGregor, he is ready to jump ship.
