Since his undercard fight with Deji at the Logan Paul vs KSI event back in August 2018, the youngest Paul brother has undeniably developed a taste for the sport. Most recently he fought Nate Robinson, and in just two rounds Jake managed to knock his opponent out, in a clip that promptly went viral. The YouTuber reportedly scooped up millions in earnings from the fight. But Jake is by no means planning to stop there. He\u2019s now setting his sights on some much higher-level opponents, saying in a post-fight interview: \u201cI\u2019m taking this seriously. There\u2019s a long list of opponents that I want. Conor McGregor, Dillon Danis, I\u2019m going to knock them both out.\u201d In an interview with ESPN\u2019s Marc Raimondi, Jake has revealed just how committed he is to fighting the mixed martial arts star, though acknowledges that it will take a whole lot of preparation. He explained: \u201cI want to fight a couple more people, I think, first. But we\u2019re figuring that out. Because I wanna prove to the world that I\u2019m gonna knock out all these fighters.\u201d Topic starts at 8:48 \u201cConor McGregor can maybe be like the final boss,\u201d Jake continued. \u201cYou know if we were playing a video game he could maybe be the final boss. And then I\u2019ll probably retire after I beat McGregor.\u201d The star also made sure to hammer home to viewers that he really is in this game for the long run, saying \u201cpeople just think it\u2019s a joke, people are like \u2018ah, he\u2019s gonna get killed.\u2019 I am dedicating my life to beating Conor McGregor.\u201d A Paul vs. McGregor fight would certainly be one to tune in to, and with these events being a huge revenue magnet, the chances of its continuation are substantial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
