Jake Paul mocks Conor McGregor & Khabib ahead of Ben Askren fight Instagram\/thenotoriousmma\/Jakepaul\/khabib_nurmagomedovYouTube star turned amateur boxer Jake Paul is once again calling out Conor McGregor and even reigning UFC Lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov in a new video ahead of his April 17 fight against Ben Askren. Paul has been relentless in his pursuit of securing a boxing match against the Irishman McGregor, frequently challenging him in videos, making fight offers and videos mocking the UFC veteran. On February 23, the YouTuber took things a step further by bringing McGregor\u2019s rival, Khabib Nurmagomedov, into the mix, mocking the Russian and his mannerisms. In the short video, Paul impersonates McGregor, Khabib and Askren in a series of sketches to promote his April 17 bout. In the first part of the clip, Jake puts on his best Irish accent and pretends to be McGregor having a phone call with UFC President Dana White after his loss to Dustin Poirier. \u201cDana, I\u2019m sorry I lost, mate. I bought this fooking Lamborghini though,\u201d he joked. Next, he pretended to be Khabib while wearing his signature Papakha doing a press conference in the wake of McGregor\u2019s loss at UFC 257. MMA Chronicles pt. 2 @TheNotoriousMMA @TeamKhabib @danawhite @Benaskren @NateDiaz209 April 17th watch me knockout the @ufc \u2018s big bad Benjamin Askren on @triller pic.twitter.com\/o9Vv8RErJN \u2014 Jake Paul (@jakepaul) February 23, 2021 \u201cThis is what happens when you spar little kids, okay? I spar back,\u201d he said in his best Russian accent. \u201cConor McGregor must respect gym. Conor McGregor no respect gym.\u201d In perhaps his best skip, Paul put on an afro-style wig and a \u201cVote for Pedro\u201d shirt combining both Ben Askren and Napoleon Dynamite. \u201cI just got back from my hip surgery, now I\u2019m going to fight Jake Paul for a bunch of money. I\u2019m going to invest all of it into Siacoin,\u201d the YouTuber mocked. I feel like this is average work at best. the guy has a full-time production staff and he can\u2019t come up with anything better??? https:\/\/t.co\/R5238po9Lr \u2014 Funky (@Benaskren) February 23, 2021 Askren, however, didn\u2019t take too kindly to the video and didn\u2019t even think it was worth all the effort. In a quote tweet, the 36-year-old called the video \u201caverage work at best.\u201d \u201cThe guy has a full-time production staff and he can\u2019t come up with anything better???\u201d Askren asked to the tune of a whopping three question marks. Knowing Jake, this won\u2019t be the last time he takes aim at Askren ahead of their fight. We\u2019ll have to see if he can walk the walk after all this trash talk when the two step into the ring on April 17.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
