Jake Paul claps back at Conor McGregor after former UFC champ calls him \u201cjackass\u201d IG: Jake Paul \/ Conor McGregorJake Paul clapped back at Conor McGregor after the former double UFC champion called him a \u201cjackass\u201d by comparing their achievements in the past two years, including fight wins. Another day, another jab between Jake Paul and Conor McGregor. They\u2019ve been going at it for years now, although it\u2019s mostly been spurred on by Jake. However, this time it was started by the UFC star himself. The back and forth on social media started with McGregor throwing Jake shade for wearing pink lens sunglasses at the Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano pay-per-view event at Madison Square Garden, New York. \u201cWho the f**k is this jackass in the pink Jimmy Savile glasses?\u201d said McGregor, referring to the late Sir James Wilson Vincent Savile, an English DJ, television, and radio personality who wore similar-looking sunglasses. Jake clapped back shortly after, listing all his achievements in the past few years compared to McGregor, including helping fighters get paid, winning fights himself, and making other fights happen. \u201cI\u2019m the one who has done more for fighters than you ever have,\u201d he said. \u201cThe one who has won 5 fights in the past two years while you have lost 5. The one who isn\u2019t owned by Dana White. The one who made the fight you just watched happen. The one who got your hero Katie Taylor paid. That\u2019s who!\u201d Im the one who has done more for fighters than you ever have the one who has won 5 fights in the past 2 years while you have lost 5 the one who isn\u2019t owned by Dana White the one who made the fight you just watched happen the 1 who got your hero Katie Taylor paid that\u2019s who https:\/\/t.co\/tV86m1GtxX \u2014 Jake Paul (@jakepaul) May 1, 2022 McGregor responded almost instantly, but he didn\u2019t say much. Instead, he posted a picture of Jimmy Savile wearing the sunglasses he was referring to. After that, the tension between them more or less fizzled out. However, it\u2019s one of the few times McGregor has acknowledged Jake, and it\u2019s added more fuel to the fire regarding a potential super fight between them. Jake insisted it\u2019ll only happen if Dana White improves fighter pay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
