Conor McGregor warns fighters about copying Jake Paul YouTube: Jake Paul\/Instagram: Conor McGregorUFC superstar Conor McGregor has warned fighters about following in the footsteps of Jake Paul, claiming it is \u201chollow\u201d and that they should be aspiring for more. Since stepping into the world of boxing, Jake Paul has had plenty of detractors who have shot down his successes and tried to engage him in a war of words. Despite the fact he\u2019s a UFC fighter, Conor McGregor has been right up there. McGregor had, initially, been unwilling to engage in Jake\u2019s trash talk but his stance has softened over time. He labeled the \u2018Problem Child\u2019 and his brother Logan as \u201cdingbats\u201d before going directly at Jake at different times. Now, the Irishman has warned fighters about wanting to follow Jake\u2019s path and becoming a \u201cYouTube fighter,\u201d urging them to \u201caspire\u201d to more. \u201cFor me, it does set a bad precedent in the industry because what you\u2019ve got now is \u2014 and I would say this to the young athletes coming up, men and women: Don\u2019t aspire to be one of these YouTuber fighters,\u201d McGregor told James Corden on the This Life Of Mine show. \u201cAspire for world titles. That is how you etch your name in history.\u201d The Irish fighting star said you \u201cmay get a few likes\u201d but there is \u201cnothing substantial\u201d to them. \u201cIt\u2019s hollow. It can be profitable, but it\u2019s hollow. And I\u2019m noticing a trend in young fighters coming up that are not even interested in competing in the amateur scene or rising up to win a national title. You need the gold on the waist. You need to etch your name on the belt.\u201d Even though he\u2019s gearing up to fight Mike Tyson in July, it wouldn\u2019t be a shock to see Jake clap back at McGregor at some point. It\u2019s something he hasn\u2019t been afraid of in the past and he\u2019d no doubt love to add a win over McGrgeor to his pro record \u2013 if they could make that happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
