Conor McGregor delivers ultimate putdown to Jake | Boxing News

Conor McGregor had a sharp retort to Jake Paul’s remark after new footage surfaced of the 2 exchanging phrases final week.

The pair, together with Logan Paul, Jake’s older brother, made headlines when ‘The Problem Child’ posted a selfie with the Irishman as they attended Donald Trump‘s inauguration in Washington DC. Jake captioned the picture humorously: “Inauguration going great.”

However, his expression instructed he wasn’t too thrilled about McGregor’s company. While it appeared there was no stress between the previous two-division UFC champion and the Paul brothers, their encounter wasn’t completely cordial. Following the occasion, Logan shared a YouTube video titled ‘Face to Face with Conor McGregor’, who appeared obsessed with assembly the Pauls. In a clip in direction of the tip of the video, McGregor is seen discussing a potential combat with the brothers on a bus.

“This is the real deal, you know that bro. We’ll do it,” McGregor shouted. He then proposed phrases to Logan earlier than taking a jab at Jake, leaving the American stars bewildered. “We can do what? 190, 195lbs? [Jake] was sick. He was sick over it! ” McGregor continued: “Listen, here’s the deal. I’m going to slap the head off the two of you and KSI. You are nixers to me. Do you understand that? Side jobs.”

Recent footage has added fuel to the fire within the ongoing saga between McGregor and the Paul brothers. While earlier encounters largely confirmed Conor going through off with Logan, this time it was Jake Paul exchanging heated phrases with him. During their verbal altercation, Jake questioned Conor’s selection of opponent, asking, “Why do you want to fight him? ” referring to Logan. McGregor sharply retorted: “What instead of you? ” Jake then insinuated that a bout along with his brother could be an simpler match by saying: “It’s an easier fight? “.

Never one to shrink back from confrontation, McGregor fired back, dismissively declaring: “It’s a bigger name! ” Jake continued the spat by hinting at his own observe document towards southpaws, implying that is likely to be why McGregor would reasonably battle Logan than face him. However, Conor hit back, mentioning Jake’s bout with Nate Diaz, saying, “Nate Diaz, you couldn’t even put him down! Look, you’ve done some good things. You’ve done some alright things.”

The battle of phrases comes amongst current speculations suggesting that negotiations are underway for McGregor to combat Logan Paul. On X – the platform previously often known as Twitter – McGregor set the document straight, denying rumours about preventing Ilia Topuria and revealing his plans: “The rumours of a bout with Topuria are false. I am in preliminary agreements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India. I have agreed. I will then seek my return to the Octagon.”

McGregor dashed the hopes of followers wanting ahead to a blockbuster conflict with a WWE champion, as he revealed to “The Schmo” that plans have crumbled. “It is what it is. The UFC just aren’t into it. The offer was there on the table, in writing. Both athletes will say, ‘He’s not fighting,’ but both athlete are under the TKO banner. UFC, WWE both rising up. The stock price of TKO Holding Ground (is) through the roof. New market in India opened up and booming. It was business savvy, and business sense to make the fight happen. Or should I say the glorified spar happen.”

While McGregor finds himself in limbo ready for his return to the octagon, he noticed this as an opportune second scheduling-wise. However, he lamented, “In between this waiting period that we find ourselves in before I can get back to the octagon, it made perfect sense on the calendar to go ahead with it. The UFC weren’t into it. The WWE, I’m not sure what their interest in it was. I just knew the UFC weren’t into it.”
