Back in the day, fighters had to climb the ranks the hard way. Now, the combat sports community has YouTubers calling out champions. And Jake Paul is leading this new-age circus as he called out Conor McGregor.
Paul just added another interesting chapter to his boxing career by beating Mike Tyson. But instead of relaxing and basking in his victory, he’s already stirring up more drama. Shortly after the fight, he fired some shots at X toward the former UFC champion.
“Dear Conor, I know you told my team you would fight me at 170lbs. That’s never happening. But let’s run it in MMA. No weight class. Just like how it used to be done. But you won’t.”
‘The Problem Child’ has been poking at Conor McGregor for years. This time, though, Paul’s taking a different approach. He’s not just calling for a boxing match anymore – he wants to step into McGregor’s world of MMA. And he wants to do it with no weight class!
The funny thing is, McGregor hasn’t even fought since he broke his leg against Dustin Poirier. He’s been more active on social media than in the octagon lately. Meanwhile, Paul keeps racking up wins and making noise. UFC boss Dana White hasn’t exactly jumped at the idea of this matchup and probably never will.

Conor McGregor fired off a tweet that he later deleted – probably realizing he had gone a bit too far with a tasteless comment about another boxer. He talked about Team Paul looking into Prichard Colon as his next opponent. For those who don’t know, Colon had brain damage from a boxing match.
“They are eyeing Prichard Colon for next opponent.”
The whole situation shows just how heated the beef between these two has become. Paul keeps collecting wins against older fighters, and Conor McGregor keeps taking shots from the sidelines.
