The rivalry between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor has etched its name into the history books. However, even after all these years, the fire still seems to be burning. In a recent interaction, Khabib Nurmagomedov’s coach, Javier Mendez, delved into the possibilities of Conor McGregor facing either Logan Paul or Jake Paul in a boxing match.
Opening on the topic, Mendez stated that a fight with Logan Paul would come out as boring. Instead, if McGregor can get to fight his brother Jake, it will be a better deal for the fight fans.
“That’s going to be a bomb. His brother hasn’t won a freaking boxing match. Give me a break … That [Conor vs. Jake] is the fight I’d rather watch,” said Mendez.
Now, having said that Mendez also agreed that both McGregor and Logan Paul are out-and-out entertainers. Thus, if a match does really happen, they have the capability to sell the fight. Meanwhile, the major reason for Mendez’s opinions originates from Conor McGregor’s recent X post.
