As Conor McGregor is away from fighting, he is spending a lot of time with his family as well. However, he is frequently active on social media. And is still stirring up feuds with his comments on recent happening in combat sports.
McGregor reacted to Nate Diaz vs. Jake Paul?
Conor McGregor has had a number of back-and-forths with the social media personality turned boxer Jake Paul over the years. While the latter has expressed his desire of wanting to fight the Irishman, McGregor himself doesn’t seem to be so keen.
However, McGregor does not miss a chance to take a dig at Jake Paul and he did the same following his boxing matchup against Nate Diaz. In a fight where Diaz was making his pro-boxing debut, Paul went the distance and won the bout via unanimous decision.
Reacting to the same in a now-deleted tweet, Conor McGregor expressed his disregard for Jake Paul and his boxing skills. Moreover, ‘The Notorious’ also expressed his desire of wanting to fight Nate Diaz in a highly anticipated trilogy. That said, it will be interesting to see if McGregor and Diaz ever cross paths again.
