It has now been a few hours since Conor McGregor bashed YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul during his appearance on the Duelbits livestream, claiming, “I hope Mike rattles the little d*pe,” along with other derogatory remarks against Paul. Since then, everyone has been waiting for Paul’s reply, as he is no less than McGregor when it comes to trash-talking. That time has finally come, as Jake Paul recently took a dig at Conor McGregor by making a parody video, which he retweeted, stating, “And for the record, I would destroy this c*ke head in the ring or in the cage.”

Paul further hammered down the final nail in the coffin by targeting McGregor, who recently called out Belal Muhammad. Muhammad is currently left without an opponent since Michael Chandler is booked to fight Oliveira. Paul mocked McGregor, saying, “Keep begging for your date, hahaha.”

Jake Paul is currently gearing up for the biggest fight of his life against boxing legend Mike Tyson this fall. However, more than his upcoming boxing match, Paul has remained in the spotlight for targeting UFC head honcho Dana White and his promotion. Earlier this month, Paul sent shockwaves through the MMA world when he snuck into the historic UFC Noche event, claiming Dana White had banned him from attending UFC events, which prompted White to come forward and address the situation himself.

Did Dana White really ban Jake Paul from the UFC?

Jake Paul has been a sore spot for Dana White since he started openly discussing low fighter pay in the UFC, which led to a series of bitter exchanges between the two. However, no one ever thought that one day Dana White would ban Jake Paul from witnessing any fights live in the arena. This issue came to light when Jake Paul boldly claimed he sneaked into The Sphere in disguise despite White’s ban.

This claim was recently echoed by a reporter at the DWCS post-fight press conference, who asked White about the reality behind Paul’s accusation. White dismissed Paul’s claim, stating, “Listen, Oscar De La Hoya was there, okay? Let’s put it that way. Nobody is banned from the UFC. Listen, that kid knows how to market and do his thing and, you know, all that good sh*t, but yeah, Jake Paul is welcome to come to the UFC; he just can’t bring that, you know.”
