Conor McGregor open to fighting \u201cdingbats\u201d Logan & Jake Paul Twitter, @TheNotoriousMMA \/ Instagram, @jakepaulMMA legend Conor McGregor surprised many by not outright shutting out the possibility of fights with YouTubers Jake and Logan Paul. Instead, the Irish millionaire suggested that he could have bouts with the \u201cdingbats\u201d one day. In the past, McGregor has seemed to be steadfast in his unwillingness to dabble in fights with either of the Paul brothers. But, as discussed ahead of his third bout with Dustin Poirier, that tone seems to have changed. Speaking with news.com.au\u2019s Nick Walshaw, McGregor was asked about the possibility of the Paul brothers making a ringside appearance during his upcoming fight. After assuring that their presence doesn\u2019t interest him, the fighter discussed the possibility of future in-ring matches with the two infamous brothers. Interestingly, this conversation marks the first time that McGregor has seemingly been open to the idea of a fight with the Paul brothers. But that doesn\u2019t mean he believes it\u2019s likely. 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 When Walshaw asked McGregor about the Paul brothers coming to watch the Poirier fight, McGregor was immediately dismissive: \u201cI couldn\u2019t care about them two dingbats.\u201d Pressed further on whether he could ever fight against either of the Pauls, McGregor began by saying it\u2019s unlikely before cutting himself off and considering the possibility: \u201cNever say never. If they\u2019re gonna keep competing, who knows?\u201d With Logan fighting Floyd Mayweather most recently and Jake fighting Ben Askren in his last fight, the Paul brothers are certainly upping the ante with their competitors. A McGregor fight would most certainly break the internet, so there\u2019s no surprise that both brothers seem keen on the idea. For McGregor though, he\u2019s adamant that it would take a lot for him to fight either \u201cdingbat.\u201d If he beats Poirier, more serious bouts likely await. If he loses, then perhaps the allure of a big influencer pay day may entice him. He definitely doesn\u2019t seem as opposed to it as he used to be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
