Conor McGregor deletes tweet mocking \u201cidiot\u201d Jake Paul over MMA contract YouTube: Jake Paul\/Instagram: Conor McGregorUFC superstar Conor McGregor has taken shots at Jake Paul\u2019s deal with the PFL to make a move into the world of MMA, calling him \u201cnumbnuts\u201d and a \u201cwally\u201d over it. Even though he\u2019s always been focused on boxing, Jake Paul hasn\u2019t been shy in talking about his interest in getting into the world of Mixed Martial Arts. The YouTuber-turned-boxer has gone after the UFC through their fighters and president Dana White, and urged them to let him get into the Octagon. While that\u2019s unlikely to happen, he has penned a deal with the PFL \u2013 Professional Fighters League. Jake\u2019s deal with the PFL will see him play an ambassadorial role, but he\u2019ll also be stepping into fight in their brand-new \u2018Super Fights\u2019 division \u2013 and he\u2019s even set his crosshairs on Nate Diaz for a two-fight deal. Conor McGregor blasts \u201cnumbnuts\u201d Jake Paul over MMA deal The PFL\u2019s new division will do something that Jake has been advocating for, as fighters will receive at least half of the pay-per-view revenue that the card earns. Conor McGregor used that as a way to mock Jake\u2019s move, however, calling him a \u201cnumbnuts\u201d for \u2018giving away\u2019 half of his fight purse for any MMA fight. \u201cNumbnuts gave away 50% of a future purse if he does an MMA bout? Wow. What an idiot. Joint partnership what? For what you Wally. Wally,\u201d McGregor wrote in a now-deleted tweet. As of writing, Jake has not responded to McGregor\u2019s putdown, but the pair haven\u2019t been shy in trashing each other online before, so it wouldn\u2019t be a shock to see him chime in. In terms of when Jake may make his debut in the cage, he\u2019s reportedly set to box again on February 18, but he hasn\u2019t announced an opponent just yet. If that happens, it\u2019ll probably be mid-Summer before he\u2019s stepping inside the PFL cage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
