In the post-fight press conference, Paul seemed pretty elated and confident about his win over Woodley. An interviewer then asked him about Conor McGregor’s tweet, to which he replied, “I’m salivating too because I’m just getting warmed up. You know, Conor McGregor has a lot more to focus on besides me right now. I’m five wins in a row, he’s one in three, in the past four years.”
“So guy needs to get off of his little Vodka, or whatever the f*ck his brand is and sober up and start to get back in the f*cking gym and then we can f*cking fight. But to be honest, no way he hits harder than Woodley. he doesn’t weigh as much as Woodley, he’s shorter than Woodley. I said it before the fight. I think Woodley is a harder fight than him. Especially on the way where he’s going, Conor’s going down, I’m going up.”

Did Conor McGregor tweet out at Jake Paul?
Many fans on Twitter seem to think Jake and the media took the tweet out of context. Fans claimed, ‘The Notorious’ Conor McGregor was, in fact, talking about the lobster that he was eating when he tweeted out, “Salivating” however, the media made it seem like Conor was talking about Jake’s fight.

This begs the question of whether we will see the two in the ring anytime soon. Conor is fresh off a controversial defeat against Dustin Poirier, that saw him fracture his foot. Five weeks post-surgery, Conor began training and is on the road to a rematch with Dustin.
So a fight between the two is highly unlikely in the near future. Who do you think Jake Paul should fight next?
