“I Actually Think He’s Dead… No Cap”- UFC Fans Go Berserk as Conor McGregor Owns Jake Paul in Twitter Battle
Jake Paul and Conor McGregor are going back and forth on Twitter. Two of the biggest names in combat sports at the moment never miss a chance for banter. Amidst the historic showdown between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, ‘The Notorious’ recreated one of his iconic lines that he said to UFC vet Jeremy Stephens.
Jake Paul’s attire at Madison Square Garden, especially the sunglasses, saw Conor McGregor make a nasty tweet.
McGregor wrote, “Who the f**k is this jackass in the pink Jimmy saville glasses ?”
Who the fuck is this jackass in the pink Jimmy saville glasses ?

‘The Problem Child‘ didn’t take McGregor’s comment lightly and went after him in an extended rant.
Paul wrote, “Im the one who has done more for fighters than you ever have, the one who has won 5 fights in the past 2 years while you have lost 5”
Im the one who has done more for fighters than you ever have
the one who has won 5 fights in the past 2 years while you have lost 5
the one who isn’t owned by Dana White
the one who made the fight you just watched happen
the 1 who got your hero Katie Taylor paid
that’s who https://t.co/tV86m1GtxX

He added, “the one who isn’t owned by Dana White, the one who made the fight you just watched happen, the 1 who got your hero Katie Taylor paid; that’s who”.
McGregor had a mysterious reply for ‘The Problem Child’ as he posted a picture of an old man with sunglasses.

The Irish superstar’s reply to the YouTuber-turned-boxer had the fans rattled. One fan posted a picture with the subtitle, “I actually think he’s dead unfortunately no cap.”

Apart from his Octagon performances, ‘The Mystic Mac’ has always dominated in the verbal battle as well; the fans labeled this interaction with Jake Paul as a clear win for McGregor.

However, Jake Paul would like the fact that the second-biggest PPV draw in combat sports is going back and forth with him as it would get more eyeballs on him as he seeks to secure even bigger fights.
Will Jake Paul vs. Conor McGregor happen in 2022?
‘The Problem Child’ has already teased his return for August, i.e. around the same time as McGregor. If the latter’s interviews were any sign, he would return around the same period as Paul.
Yet a contest between these two fighters perhaps is not on the table for 2022 as Conor McGregor has shown interest in returning to MMA & not boxing.
