Getty Conor McGregor & Jake Paul
Irish superstar Conor McGregor’s trip back down to the UFC’s lightweight division did not pan out for the fighter, losing by second-round TKO to No. 2 ranked lightweight Dustin Poirier at UFC 257 on Saturday night.
Unsurprisingly, the loss has sparked many reactions from McGregor’s detractors. YouTuber and boxer Jake Paul, who recently challenged McGregor to a $50 million boxing match, shared a video and wrote, “AYE @thenotoriousmma INSTEAD OF $50 MILLION I GOT $10,000 for you now. CASH THO!! ALL CASH.”
AYE @thenotoriousmma INSTEAD OF $50 MILLION I GOT $10,000 for you now😂😂😂 CASH THO!! ALL CASH😂😂
He shared his full reaction via video, writing, “Aye Conor @TheNotoriousMMA since you’re a “fighter” and I’m a “YouTube Kid” I left you a message on YouTube.” Watch below:
In the video, Paul said he would now only offer McGregor $10,000 to box. Paul recently announced that he is boxing on April 17 but has not named the opponent. In the video, Paul said it was “supposed to be Conor McGregor but we’ll see what happens.” It’s unclear if McGregor actually signed a contract to box Paul.
UFC 257, Conor McGregor just got knocked the f*** out. Worst stream of all time, Dana White, worst stream ever. We want refunds. Conor McGregor got paid $5 million to fight a bum and he got knocked out by the bum. Bro, the memes right now all over Twitter is trending. This is hilarious. He got Nate Robinson’d. Conor, dude.
