McGregor recently returned to training having spent a long time out after his freak leg break against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264.

Jake Paul wants Conor McGregor in the Octagon

His return to training gave Paul a reason to recommence goading ‘the Notorious’.

“This is embarrassing @thenotoriousmma Your chin wide open with no head movement for the PRBLEM CHILD right hand of god,” Paul wrote as reshared the McGregor training video.

“I would KO Conor in boxing or MMA. Right hand of God”.

Henry Cejudo chips in

Paul was not alone in taking shots at McGregor over the clip with UFC two-division champion and Olympic gold medallist Henry Cejudo also getting in on the action.

Cejudo urged McGregor to sack his training team, whom he characterised as ‘yes men’.

“Your hands are down and your distance is off. Stay away from them yes men. Just a tip from the (Goat emoji),” Cejudo wrote in a Twitter reply.

Jake Paul goes to Dana

Paul has consistently sought to antagonise MMA fighters attached to Dana White’s UFC, accusing the promoter of abusive business practices such as underpaying his fighters.

White has cooled the war from his end recently, admitting he would like to chat to Paul.

That softening was referenced by the influencer in a recent message to White, asking him to set up a fight with McGregor in the UFC.

Paul even said he would agree to never mention UFC again if he lost to McGregor in the Octagon.

“Dana – Since you like me now, how about a 1 fight UFC deal to fight Conor.

“If I win, you agree to my UFC fighter pay and healthcare proposal. 

“If I lose I donate my entire purse to all UFC fighters who make less than $50K a fight and never mention UFC again

“Deal?”
