Jake Paul has faced off against a number of opponents throughout his budding career as a YouTuber-turned-boxer. \u2018The Problem Child\u2019 has touched gloves with former NBA star Nate Robinson, Olympic mixed martial artist Ben Askren, and even got into a scuffle with undefeated champ Floyd Mayweather. However, it\u2019s clear that he wants a bout with none other than UFC idol Conor McGregor \u2014 and he\u2019s not backing down until he gets a \u201cyes.\u201d Most recently, Paul took shots at the Irish UFC star amid his own ongoing feud with prez Dana White, urging The Notorious to take a stand and request a bigger paycheck for his fellow fighters. It looks like McGregor has finally issued a response to the influencer, as told in a recent interview with Mirror Fighting after being asked about the possibility of a fight with Paul. He also commented on Jake\u2019s rematch against UFC champ Tyron Woodley last year, as well as the YouTuber\u2019s unexpected diss track against Dana White. \u201cWho knows?\u201d McGregor said. \u201cNever say never. I didn\u2019t see the Woodley fight. It only did a couple thousand buys. I saw it online. I didn\u2019t hear the diss track on Dana. I don\u2019t pay attention to all of that.\u201d EXCLUSIVE: &#8220;&#8221;It only did a couple of thousand buys \u2013 I wasn&#8217;t watching!&#8221;&#8221;@TheNotoriousMMA didn&#8217;t hold back when asked about @JakePaul&#8217;s brutal KO win over Tyron Woodley Read more from our chat with Conor from #BellatorDublin tonight: https:\/\/t.co\/QQxdoaWVV7 @BellatorMMA pic.twitter.com\/0GiAD5brSx \u2014 Mirror Fighting (@MirrorFighting) February 25, 2022 This isn\u2019t the first time McGregor has commented on the Paul brothers; in summer 2021, The Notorious claimed that he was open to fighting the YouTube duo, notably dubbing them \u201cdingbats.\u201d More surprisingly, it seems that he\u2019s even repeated his past words: \u201cNever say never. If they\u2019re gonna keep competing, who knows?\u201d Conor McGregor calls Logan and Jake Paul \u2018dingbats\u2019, but wouldn\u2019t rule out a fight. pic.twitter.com\/gOhhWTvcLd \u2014 Dexerto (@Dexerto) July 8, 2021 Right now, it\u2019s unclear who Paul\u2019s next opponent will be \u2014 but it\u2019s certain that this bout would shake up the influencer boxing space in a big way. After all, if Logan Paul can score a fight with Floyd Mayweather, who\u2019s to say Jake can\u2019t take on McGregor?
