Jake Paul is one of the biggest names in the influencer-boxing game. First facing off against fellow YouTuber Deji in the ring back in 2018, Paul has gone on to become the face of the new combat sports fad. Since then, he\u2019s racked up an undefeated 5-0 record, facing off against the likes of NBA star Nate Robinson, former Olympian Ben Askren, and even UFC champ Tyron Woodley. Now, Jake is set to take on mixed martial arts legend Anderson Silva\u2026 but he says that this bout will be harder than a possible match against another fighter he\u2019s called out multiple times. Jake Paul calls Conor McGregor fight \u201ceasier\u201d than Anderson Silva bout Paul spoke out on the subject during the latest episode of his \u201cBS\u201d podcast, where he admitted that a fight with \u2018The Notorious\u2019 Conor McGregor would be easier than his upcoming boxing match against Silva. \u201cMy friend just texted me. He\u2019s like, \u2018Bro, 2 years ago, you called out Conor McGregor.\u2019 Like da*n near joking. Now, if Conor and I fought, that\u2019s to me an easier fight than Anderson Silva,\u201d he claimed. Aside from being eager to fight Floyd Mayweather at some point, Paul has also called out Conor McGregor multiple times in the past, itching for a turn in the boxing ring with the Irish UFC star. However, McGregor has historically been uninterested in this potential matchup, with his most recent response to Jake\u2019s repeated challenges being a brutal roast toward the YouTuber on Twitter where he called the influencer a \u201cflop\u201d and a \u201cnobody.\u201d That being said, it looks like Jake is refusing to back down from his dream fight despite McGregor\u2019s dismissals\u2026 and even UFC prez Dana White says not to count this potential bout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jake Paul says fighting Conor McGregor would be \u2018easy\u2019 compared to Anderson Silva YouTube: BS w\/ Jake PaulYouTube star Jake Paul says that a possible fight with MMA star Conor McGregor would be \u201ceasier\u201d compared to his upcoming bout against Anderson Silva.
