When Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson was officially announced, Conor McGregor, who had earlier branded Jake a “jackass,” was extremely critical of ‘The Problem Child’ vs. ‘Kid Dynamite.’ Besides finding the contest “strange,” the Irish mixed martial artist publicly claimed there was low interest in Paul fighting an aged ‘Iron Mike.’ So, now that Paul is fighting Mike Perry, a fighter from the BKFC in his prime, will McGregor attend the fight?

Well, should the former UFC champion desire, ‘The Problem Child’ is ready to help on one foot! Ahead of the bout scheduled for July 20th, Jake Paul and Mike Perry appeared on The MMA Hour where Ariel Helwani hoped for McGregor’s potential presence at Paul vs. Perry. Helwani asked Perry if there was a chance of McGregor attending the fight, especially as a representative of the BKFC.

But, before Mike could answer, Jake Paul interrupted and said, “He [McGregor] needs to attend rehab.” Immediately, Paul burst into laughter as Helwani and Perry shared an awkward silence. However, after Helwani repeated himself, Jake Paul looked forward to sending Conor McGregor special tickets although people hardly care about ‘The Notorious’ in Paul’s opinion.

“Look, we could get him a fourth or fifth-row ticket. But, he’s kind of lost his celebrity or star power. I don’t think people really care about him,” said Jake Paul. “He hasn’t won a fight in six/seven years. I don’t know how long it has been,” he added.

Along these lines, Jake Paul brutally patronized Conor McGregor.

Jake Paul feels Conor McGregor has embarrassed himself

Jake Paul was not happy when Conor McGregor publicly disapproved of his upcoming fight against Mike Tyson. So, in his response to McGregor, Paul took a stand for himself and bragged about the views and articles Mike’s and Paul’s Instagram reels generated. And now that Paul had a chance to jab McGregor following Helwani’s invitation, the YouTuber-turned-boxer-turned-promoter was not going to miss it at all. So, Paul continued, being as blunt as he could be, “He’s embarrassing himself, he’s running his legacy with all the drugs and the way he looks online.”

“He’s lost, his mind is a maniac. I feel bad for the guy,” ‘The Problem Child’ brutally added. “So, you could say all these things about him but he hasn’t proven it and he hasn’t backed anything up. That’s the way I look at it, it’s from the facts and the numbers,” he firmly concluded.
