Dustin Poirier Apparently Threw a Reaction

While the leader of the fan group called Jake Paulers, made many a testament of his incredible striking ability, but his after match claim did not go well with the MMA fanatics, who for years have been closely following Conor McGregor. In the wake of that McGregor’s UFC 257 opponent Dustin Poirier reacted.

The Diamond, though did not mentioned Jake Paul’s name up-front, but his Tweet that came right about the same time is what fans speculate is a reaction to Paul’s assertion.

He wrote: “Lol”

Lol

Conor McGregor Vs. Jake Paul: Is it a likely happening?

Conor McGregor currently has commitments to the Octagon, the place which made him a global superstar. However the Notorious one often shows eagerness to compete in the boxing ring. But him going up against Jake Paul is unlikely, since the Irishman made his boxing debut against none other than Floyd Mayweather and wants to face the veteran Manny Pacquiao next.

Therefore, it is an ostensible fact that Conor McGregor picks his opponents, and not vice versa.
