Khabib\u2019s coach explains why Jake Paul would win Conor McGregor fight Instagram\/jakepaulWith a possible fight between Jake Paul and Conor McGregor in the cards, UFC legend Khabib Nurmagomedov\u2019s coach has weighed in on who he thinks would win in combat. YouTuber Jake Paul has made a big name for himself in the fight world in recent years. With a 5-0 record that includes KOs against former UFC stars Tyron Woodley and Ben Askren, The Problem Child has shown that he means business. When he\u2019s not knocking out former MMA champs, he\u2019s been actively pursuing fights and has frequently been pushing to secure a match against \u2018The Notorious\u2019 Conor McGregor, constantly calling out The Irishman. Now, as a possible fight between the influencer and UFC star grows more likely, Khabib Nurmagomedov\u2019s coach, Javier Mendez, chimed in on why he thinks Paul would have the upper hand. Khabib\u2019s coach warns McGregor not to underestimate Jake Paul In an interview with Betway, Mendez was asked about a fight between Jake Paul and Conor McGregor and who he thinks would win. \u201cI would favor Jake Paul at 175 over Conor in a boxing ring because he\u2019s too big. But you can\u2019t count Conor out, Conor\u2019s a good boxer, so you can\u2019t discount his boxing ability,\u201d he said. When Paul made his latest offer to UFC President Dana White for a fight against McGregor, he made it clear that he would do so at 175 pounds, dismissing any weight concerns White had. Khabib\u2019s coach says Paul would beat McGregor due to his size Mendez went on to explain that Jake\u2019s size would give him a big edge, regardless of McGregor\u2019s years of experience. \u201cThe size is a little much, Jake hits extremely hard, as you can tell by what he\u2019s done. If you haven\u2019t woken up to Jake\u2019s ability you better, because he\u2019s only improving. So I think the size is a big difference and the power would be too much for Conor,\u201d he added. \u201cSometimes you can be bigger and not punch harder, but in this case Jake is bigger than Conor and punches harder and he\u2019s good, so all three variables are with Jake. He\u2019s just a bigger man fighting a smaller man.\u201d Furthermore, he remarked how Paul has had \u201chigh pressure\u201d fights of his own, so it would ultimately come down to size where the YouTuber has a big advantage. Despite having no shortage of possible opponents, it\u2019s still not clear who Jake Paul will face when he returns to the ring. The Problem Child has said he\u2019s aiming at fighting again come Summer of 2022. If a fight between Paul and McGregor gets approved, the Irishman may need to stay out of trouble for it to even happen. On March 23, he was arrested for dangerous driving \u2013 just one day after another of Paul\u2019s potential adversaries, Jorge Masvidal, was charged with felony battery for attacking Colby Covington outside a restaurant in Miami.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
