Jake Paul and Conor McGregor have had an ongoing rivalry for a long time now. Since Jake’s first boxing appearance, he had one goal in mind: to fight Conor McGregor. At first, the fight wasn’t a big deal for McGregor, who was a double-division champion at the time. But since then, Jake has continued to grow with each win and has become a big name in combat sports. Additionally, a recent tweet from Paul has caused a fan outburst and has fueled the fire of their rivalry.

Fans have recently reacted to Conor McGregor’s USADA status, as he prepares for the upcoming TUF season 31. He will be coaching a team against a team coached by Chandler and will be focused on making a mark on his octagon return.

A potential bout between McGregor and Paul would be a highly exciting prospect for fans. Both fighters are huge PPV draws and their match would be a highly anticipated event. However, Paul’s recent PFL contract may not allow him to fight the UFC star boy. Regardless, the potential fight has fans eagerly waiting for further developments.
