UFC coach claims Jake Paul has \u201cmany advantages\u201d over Conor McGregor in boxing bout Instagram: Jake Paul \/ Conor McGregorJavier Mendez, the UFC coach who trained several champions including Khabib Nurmagomedov, claims Jake Paul has \u201cmany advantages\u201d over Conor McGregor and \u201cabsolutely has a chance\u201d to beat him. Jake Paul has been linked to a potential fight against Conor McGregor ever since he challenged him back in December 2020. Since then, he\u2019s done his best to get a reaction from the former UFC champion, and it worked. After beating Tyron Woodley, Jake\u2019s stock has risen once again. However, it seems like he\u2019s more likely to fight other candidates, including a rematch against Woodley, rather than square off against McGregor anytime soon. Still, that hasn\u2019t stopped Jake from trying to lay down the groundwork by trying to get under his skin. If it were to happen, Javier Mendez \u2014 who coached an impressive list of UFC champions including Cain Velasquez, Daniel Cormier, and Khabib Nurmagomedov \u2014 believes Jake can win. \u201cJake has got so many advantages on Conor. Size being one of the big major ones,\u201d Mendez told Betway. \u201cHe\u2019s got big advantages in size and power. He doesn\u2019t have fight experience, but he\u2019s been strictly just boxing for a long time now.\u201d Mendez also explained that Jake has been training with \u201creally good boxing professionals that know what they\u2019re doing.\u201d For that reason, he believes he \u201cshouldn\u2019t fear\u201d McGregor at all and \u201cabsolutely has a chance\u201d to beat him. McGregor is still trying to redeem himself in the UFC after losing to Dustin Poirier for the second time and gruesomely breaking his leg in the process. Jake admitted he would love to \u201cbreak him down\u201d the same way Poirier did. However, new challenges keep cropping up. So, it might not happen for a while \u2014 if at all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
