Conor McGregor has a big week coming up.
The UFC legend is gearing up to take on Dustin Poirier this weekend at fight Island in Abu Dhabi. While Conor has his hands full, Youtube star Jake Paul will not stop talking smack to McGregor and members of his crew.
Jake Paul has called out McGregor repeatedly for a fight. While Dana White says there is no shot that will ever happen, McGregor wasn’t as quick to deny the fight. He sat down with BT Sport to talk about his upcoming matchup with Poirier, and talked about the likelihood that he’ll ever get into the ring with Jake Paul.
“That is what it is,” Conor told BT Sports on Wednesday. “We’ll see what happens. That’s it. He seems like a confused little kid to me, to be honest.”

Conor McGregor would elaborate on his Jake Paul take.
“It’s not on the radar at the minute with the young lad,” Conor added.

I highly doubt McGregor ever gets into the ring with Jake Paul. It’s simply below him. Paul could land a fight with Conor’s close friend Dillon Danis, who he has been calling out for months.
Jake’s brother, Logan, is set to take on Floyd Mayweather in a boxing exhibition next month. It just seems like the Paul brothers are barking up the wrong tree to me. These guys should stick with celebrity bouts, instead of messing with professionals. They might get hurt.
Nevertheless, I’m jacked up for this Saturday. Hopefully Conor McGregor puts on a show. It has been too long since a Conor fight.
