As he\u2019s made steps through the world of combat sports, Jake Paul has gotten involved with some interesting feuds, but none has intrigued fans more than his constant back-and-forth with Conor McGregor. The Irish MMA superstar was, at first, reluctant to engage with Jake and his brother Logan, labeling them as \u201cdingbats\u201d for getting involved with boxing. Though, since then, he\u2019s traded plenty of social media shots with Jake as the YouTuber has suggested that they fight multiple times over. Following Katie Taylor\u2019s win over Amanda Serrano \u2013 one of the fighters under Jake\u2019s MVP brand \u2013 McGregor and Paul traded shots again, with the former UFC champion going back to one of his favorite insults, calling Jake a \u201cjackass.\u201d While the social media star quickly fired back on Twitter, he also took time out of his post-fight press conference to address McGregor\u2019s comments, reiterating his desire to fight the Irishman. \u201cOf course, he always has something to say, but he doesn\u2019t really have a place to talk, right? He hasn\u2019t won a fight in five years. Dana owns him, and I\u2019m the one that got Katie Taylor a big payday and that\u2019s his hero,\u201d Jake stated, echoing the points he also made in his fiery tweet. \u201cConor McGregor is not tall enough to ride a rollercoaster. I feel bad for him, he\u2019s ducking me. We\u2019ll get that settled one day.\u201d Timestamp of 11:25 While McGregor has been quick to engage the ducking claims before, he hasn\u2019t done so yet, and who knows if he will this time around. Jake is scheduled to get back in the boxing ring on August 13th, and has already laid out a list of potential opponents. It seems unlikely that he fights McGregor this summer, but maybe at some point down the line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jake Paul still claims Conor McGregor is \u201cducking\u201d him but says they will fight YouTube: Fight Hub TV\/Instagram: Conor McGregorJake Paul once again claimed that UFC star Conor McGregor is \u201cducking\u201d him for a fight, but believes the pair will eventually fight and settle their beef.
