Jake Paul says Conor McGregor is \u201closing it\u201d after finally responding to fight call out Instagram: jakepaul, thenotoriousmmaYouTuber Jake Paul has hit back at Conor McGregor after the UFC star called him and brother Logan \u201cdingbats\u201d in an interview where he also suggested a fight between the two of them could happen. In an interview in the lead-up to his fight against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 on Saturday, July 10, McGregor was asked about the Paul brothers and had a few choice words. \u201cI couldn\u2019t care about them two dingbats,\u201d he said after interviewer Nick Walshaw asked about them. But, when asked about a potential fight, the response was slightly different. \u201cNever say never. If they\u2019re gonna keep competing, who knows?\u201d The Paul brothers haven\u2019t made a secret of the fact that they\u2019ve long been fans of McGregor, one of the greatest showmen in combat sports, but it appears that fandom may be fading as Jake seeks out a fight with the Irish fighter. The younger Paul brother didn\u2019t take kindly to McGregor\u2019s comments and posted online shortly after the interview went viral. \u201cYou can tell Conor has lost \u2018it\u2019,\u201d he said. \u201cHe no longer speaks from a place of authenticity & you can tell he\u2019s trying to convince himself of his own lies.\u201d That wasn\u2019t all though: he even promised to \u201cexpose\u201d McGregor. \u201cHe takes offense to everything now. He\u2019s bathing in his own insecurity\u2019s [sic]. When we fight I will further expose him for the fraud he is,\u201d Jake added.

Paul also revealed that he had asked his jeweler to make him a custom diamond necklace of McGregor when he was knocked out by Poirier before \u2014 costing him $100,000.
