Sleepy mcgregor chain3/17/2023 ![]() UFC 229 (10/6/18) McGregor was submitted by Khabib Nurmagomedov via neck crank at 3:03 of the fourth round in a bout for the UFC lightweight title UFC 246 (1/18/20) McGregor stopped Donald Cerrone via strikes at :40 of the first round UFC 257 (1/24/21) McGregor was stopped by Dustin Poirier via strikes at 2:32 of the second round UFC 264 (7/10/21) McGregor lost to Dustin Poirier via TKO (doctor's stoppage) at 5:00 of the first round Had 2017 boxing match with future Hall of Famer Floyd Mayweather.First fighter to hold two UFC titles simultaneously and third to win titles in two weight classes.Both Diaz fights and Cerrone fight were at welterweight.Has won 18 of his last 21 and three of his last five.McGregor has a long history of saying really aggressive things about his opponents. I mean can you imagine what these two would get up to if they started directly engaging each other? Paul would get even wilder. That’s a lot of ifs, but it’s fun to think about and it would certainly be the most lucrative next step for both men. It’ll only happen if the details can be worked out with his contract, and it’ll only happen if he’s able to rehab and get himself back in fighting shape. That’ll only happen of course if Conor McGregor is actually interested in taking the fight, which is a huge unknown. A win over Woodley would really cement his reputation as someone with real skill and not just a sideshow, which could potentially set the groundwork for a fight with McGregor that would generate a lot of interest. He’s scheduled to face former UFC champion Tyron Woodley in a boxing match at the end of August. Paul has his own hill to climb of a different variety. We don’t know the full extent of McGregor’s injuries (opens in new tab) at this point, but it seems likely he has a lot of rehab ahead of him. I have no idea what’s going to happen or not happen moving forward. Now many are wondering just how high his ceiling might be. He then turned to former MMA fighter Ben Askren, and surprised pretty much everyone by making relatively easy work of him. He later fought former NBA player Nate Robinson on the undercard of the Mike Tyson/ Roy Jones Jr fight and scored a knockout pretty easily. The popular YouTuber turned to boxing on the undercard of an exhibition fight his brother Logan Paul put together, and he looked really good. Jake Paul, is, of course, a major star in his own right. Perhaps more importantly for McGregor, being the person to finally knock Jake Paul out would be an opportunity to build even more good will with fans. If both he and McGregor went all-out with promotions prior to the fight, it’s not hard to think they could put up 2M buys or more which would represent a gigantic payday for both men. Jake Paul, of course, has been putting up some huge numbers on his own. In fact, last night’s fight is expected to get to 1.7 or 1.8M buys. He’s a phenomenon who has put up huge pay per view numbers. With another loss under his belt, however, I honestly think he should entertain the Jake Paul stuff.Ĭonor McGregor is, without question, the most popular fighter in UFC history. McGregor didn’t really acknowledge the insults, except to call him a “ dingbat” and made it clear his intentions were to get back on top of the UFC mountain. Prior to last night’s fight, his efforts didn’t seem to be working. He’s been very open about his desire in the past, and he clearly thinks the best way to make that happen is to piss the fighter off. Obviously, all of this boasting is because Jake Paul wants to fight Conor McGregor. Lastly, he sent out a tweet with an edited video that started with McGregor boasting about people being carried out on stretchers before cutting to footage of McGregor being carried out on a stretcher. Afterwards, he taunted McGregor and said he was lowering the purse for a proposed fight to $23 before offering to ship Dustin Poirier NyQuil to celebrate putting his opponent to sleep. In a series of four tweets, Jake Paul referred to the Irishman as “sleepy” after the knockout. Given all that, it wasn’t a surprise at all to see Paul dancing on Twitter after his foe’s defeat. It’s one of the most outrageous uses of money I’ve ever seen, and it was an expert level insult only Jake Paul would consider. ![]() Most recently, he spent $100,000 on a custom made chain that included a miniature version of McGregor knocked out. He took very direct shots at his wife and her attractiveness. ![]() He brought up the UFC fighter’s most famous losses. The YouTube star and influencer has been trying to get Conor McGregor to step in the ring with him, and as part of that campaign, he’s turned to every manner of insult. The trash talk from Jake Paul started months prior to the fight. ![]()
