Jake Paul taunts ‘shot’ Conor McGregor and insists the Irishman will one day fight him

Jake Paul has turned his attention to taunting Conor McGregor, who he thinks is washed up and an easy fight.

Speaking to talkSPORT on Wednesday, Paul predicted that he will one day fight McGregor and even said he’ll learn MMA to make it happen.

‘When I knock out Nate Diaz I think that Conor McGregor is gonna see me, want a pay day and come and get knocked out,’ Paul said.

‘We can fight in the PFL SmartCage, whatever it is. I told everybody that I would fight Conor in any form of fight because he, in my opinion, is that shot. 

‘I’ll do MMA, I’m not afraid to step in there. I’ve wanted to do that my whole career. I’m a wrestler, wrestler background. 

‘So, all I’d have to learn is some jiu-jitsu and some kicks, which seems pretty easy to me.’

McGregor is currently scheduled to return to UFC with a fight against Michael Chandler – the duo are the coaches on the latest Ultimate Fighter series. 

In this week’s episode, McGregor pushed Chandler and threatened to break his nose as they squared up each other following Chandler’s fighter beating one of McGregor’s on the series. 

McGregor last fought in 2021, when he broke his leg against Dustin Poirier.

There are an array of reasons to suggest McGregor will not fight Chandler this year but just this week the Irishman insisted his preparation is going to plan.
