Paul challenges McGregor to an MMA fight

After his win over Mike Tyson, it looks like Jake Paul has his next move in mind.

Paul went to X to challenge former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion Conor McGregor to an MMA fight.

“Dear Conor, I know you told my team you would fight me at 170 pounds,” Paul wrote. ‘That never happens. But let’s run it in MMA. No weight class. Just like it was done in the old days. But that won’t happen again.’

Paul and McGregor have been talking about a possible fight for years, but have been unable to reach an agreement.

McGregor has been inactive since suffering a leg injury during a fight against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021. The 36-year-old has one professional boxing fight under his belt, falling via 10th round TKO to Floyd Mayweather in 2017.
