    Conor McGregor deletes sick posts on social media after Jake Paul beats Mike Tyson

    Vaseline Posted on

    Conor McGregor has deleted a controversial social media post mocking paralyzed boxer Prichard Colon following Jake Paul’s victory over Mike Tyson in Texas.

    The former UFC champion suggested that Colon could be Paul’s next opponent, sparking widespread outrage on social media platforms.

    McGregor’s night went from bad to worse when he also lost £800,000 after backing Tyson to win by knockout in a pre-fight bet.

    American-Puerto Rican boxer Colon suffered life-changing injuries during a fight against Terrel Williams in 2015, being hit repeatedly in the back of the head.

    He collapsed in his dressing room after the fight and suffered a brain haemorrhage that left him in a coma for 221 days.

    “He’s just cringing right now. That’s disgusting,” another commented.

    The controversy stems from criticism of Paul’s tendency to select mismatched opponents, with UFC CEO Dana White mockingly suggesting: “If he beats Mike Tyson, he’ll fight Clint Eastwood next. Clint Eastwood is 93 years old.”

    Paul dominated the 58-year-old Tyson in their Netflix-streamed fight, earning a unanimous victory at AT&T Stadium.

    The 27-year-old, who improved his professional record to 11-1, showed respect for his opponent after the fight.

    “Mike Tyson, he’s a legend, he’s the best to ever do this,” Paul said.

    “This man is an icon. It’s just an honor to fight him.”

    Tyson, who wore knee wraps during the fight, landed just 18 punches in 16 minutes of boxing but refused to apologize.

    “Yes, but I can’t use that as an excuse because if I did, I wouldn’t be here,” he said.
