The Jake Paul saga- How Amanda Nunes and Conor McGregor fit in?
Jake Paul and his brother Logan Paul have swept the headlines as of late with their latest endeavors in the boxing ring. Jake Paul is fresh off a scintillating knockout of NBA star Nate Robinson back in November. Additionally, his elder brother Logan Paul has recently secured a fight against Floyd Mayweather that is sure to bring in piles of cash.
Jake Paul is now looking to cash in on his next big bout, and Conor McGregor seems to be a viable option to him. Paul called out ‘Notorious’ McGregor via social media and offered $50 million to bring the bout to fruition. Chiefly, White’s counteroffer to Jake Paul was to scrap against ‘The Lioness’ Amanda Nunes.

A bout against Amanda Nunes and Jake Paul doesn’t seem like something in the realm of possibility, however, it showcases Dana White’s mindset on the matter. He’s keen that his biggest star in Conor McGregor remains within the UFC’s well-oiled machine. However, it’s hard to say if things will take a turn considering the money that’s on the table.
There’s no doubt Jake Paul is a certified draw in combat sports and his recent call-outs of MMA stars will likely lead to a bout with one of them. The Brazilian star in Amanda Nunes has left no doubt that she wants to be a front runner in that conversation.
