Every combat sports fan is acquainted with the ongoing top-notch feud between Jake Paul and Conor McGregor. But ‘The Problem Child’ is more interested in accelerating this brawl. During the final weigh-in and face-off of the event, the social media personality roasted the UFC megastar.

The founder of the ‘Most Valuable Promotion’, Jake Paul, followed his fighter’s words and went after the Irish fans in attendance. He speculated about Amanda Serrano’s victory and Katie Taylor‘s end, like ‘The Notorious’.

The 25-year-old said, “Look, I don’t have anything to say about that what I do have to say for the Irish is I feel bad for y’ll because this is the start of Katie Taylor’s losing streak just like Conor McGregor. This is the start of her losing streak just like Conor McGregor.”

Notably, the current undisputed lightweight champion Katie Taylor and the former two-time lightweight champion of UFC, McGregor hails from the same country, Ireland. Which gave an opportunity for the Ohio boxer to roast both.

Talking to ‘The Journey’, he stated he was confident of beating McGregor easily. He said, “He’s on the decline. Drunk all the time, lost his motivation, doesn’t really have a reason for why he’s fighting other than his ego and I’m getting exponentially better every single day. So it’s bad for him any way he slices it, that’s why I say I’ll fight him in MMA, because I don’t think he’ll take it in boxing.”

However, after several attempts, Jake Paul could not get a positive response from McGregor’s end. On the other side of the spectrum, McGregor is on the way to return to the octagon after a long layoff. The last he took to was against another UFC legend, Dustin Poirier, and sustained a critical injury in his leg.
