Paul challenges McGregor to MMA fight

Following his victory over Mike Tyson, it appears Jake Paul has his next move in mind.

Paul took 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'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."

Paul and McGregor have gone back and forth about a potential bout for several years but have failed to come to any agreement.

McGregor has been idle 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 to Floyd Mayweather via 10th-round TKO in 2017.
