After beating Nate Robinson in 2020, Jake Paul took no time in calling out some elite MMA/UFC names, including the biggest combat sports star, Conor McGregor. Since then, Paul constantly made headlines over his call-outs to the Irishman. Also, many casuals potentially see the pair fighting each other at some point ahead.

Recently, Logan Paul was in a chat with Sports Illustrated. Here, he weighed in on the McGregor vs Jake Paul matchup, also picking his favorite to win.

“Again, two different sports. Boxing, Jake takes the cake, MMA Conor takes the cake. It’s as simple as that. Yeah bro, I’m writing for my brother. I want to see him get the big fights. You know Jake is the boxer in the family. I’m the businessman, artist, entrepreneur guy.” he said.

Jake Paul surfaced on the internet with his call-outs to McGregor. He even gave out a $50 million offer to the ex-UFC double champ by posting a video on his YouTube channel. Eventually, this video went viral, but it wasn’t enough for Paul to get into McGregor’s nerves.

Irrespective of that, he continued with his boxing run and claimed 3 wins last year. In between, he was also expected to venture into MMA and possibly face McGregor. But Jake Paul put an end to the rumors of him fighting in the octagon.

Citing this, it seems a fight between ‘The Problem Child’ and McGregor can only take place in the ring. But, ‘The Notorious’ is now chasing his way to the UFC lightweight gold again and there seems no chance of him fighting in the ring anytime soon.
