Jake Paul takes shots at Conor McGregor over UFC fighter pay drama Instagram: Jake Paul\/Conor McGregorJake Paul took some shots at MMA star Conor McGregor as he continues to wage war against the UFC over fighter pay and health care, bringing Tyson Fury\u2019s recent success into the mix too. Ever since Jake Paul made his first steps into the professional fight game, he\u2019s had his eyes on Conor McGregor in some capacity. The YouTuber-turned-boxer has taken shots at the Irishman\u2019s UFC defeats and put an offer on the table for a fight at some point. Beyond that, Jake has also gone after the UFC as a whole, engaging in beef with Dana White over fighter pay and health care \u2013 as he\u2019s even invested into the UFC\u2019s parent company. Jake has continued to turn the heat up against the world\u2019s leading MMA promotion, and after McGregor celebrated his agency stablemate Israel Adesanya\u2019s UFC 271 victory, the YouTuber notched things up again. In the wake of Adesanya\u2019s decision victory over Robert Whittaker, McGregor was quick to hop on social media and tip his cap to \u2018The Last Stylebender\u2019 over his new contract and title defence. \u201cCongrats Paradigm Sports Management Agency! Number 1 and 2 highest paid on the UFC roster contractually. Myself and Izzy. An excellent feather in the cap of an amazing sports agency,\u201d McGregor said. \u201cCongrats to all my team and a big congrats last night Israel.\u201d Paul didn\u2019t waste any time using that as a launching pad for his own shots either. \u201cIndeed well deserved for Izzy but unfortunately Tyson Fury still makes more than both of you combined for fighting,\u201d the social media star said. \u201cConor when you gonna start playing your part to get ALL fighters better pay and healthcare?\u201d Indeed well deserved for Izzy but but unfortunately Tyson Fury still makes more than both of you combined for fighting. Conor when you gonna start playing your part to get ALL fighters better pay and healthcare? https:\/\/t.co\/6WgdFqgLc7 \u2014 Jake Paul (@jakepaul) February 13, 2022 While Jake and Tyson might not be on the best of terms \u2013 given their beef over the Jake and Tommy Fury fight \u2013 the YouTuber seems intent on using whoever he can to score points against the UFC. It remains to be seen if his quest to improve things will work, or if he\u2019ll eventually move on to something different before long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
