Following Jake Paul’s recent boxing victory against Nate Diaz, there was a heated Twitter feud between Paul and MMA fighter Conor McGregor, with McGregor insulting Paul and Paul responding by highlighting McGregor’s legal troubles and advising him to enter rehab.
Conor McGregor and Jake Paul have recently been engaged in a fiery exchange on Twitter, particularly after Paul’s latest victory in the boxing ring. The drama ignited on a Saturday night in Dallas, where Jake Paul overpowered Nate Diaz in a unanimous decision victory. The battle originally began with harsh critique of Diaz’s performance, which morphed into an assault leveled at Paul before spiraling out of control.
McGregor swiftly reacted to the fight results, hurling a barrage of since-deleted tweets at Paul, some of which read, “Peoples champ I gonna say this now, them antics when its time2move ain’t hitting for me no more… Ur doing f*** all. I gonna serve up your liver on a sandwich in the trilogy m8… Paul is absolute garbage.” Paul, having had enough, retorted to the former two-division champion, asking him to seek rehab, and pointing out his previous failures.
The Twitter tussle continued post the fight, with McGregor further criticizing Paul, amidst allegations of derogatory comments. Not one to back down, Paul engaged in the verbal sparring, drawing attention to McGregor’s recent legal troubles, such as accusations related to an incident at Game 4 of the NBA Finals in Miami. Post some deleted tweets from McGregor, Paul responded, “Good boy deleting your tweets Conny. Hit me once you get out of rehab or jail.”
Paul further went on to react to some of the offensive language used by McGregor in yet another tweet. He remarked, “I see people bent out of shape bc McGregor called me a “wigger”… He’s a selfish, self-centered, salty drug addict.” In between the ongoing spat, Nate Diaz kept it short and simple with his only seven-word response to McGregor and his critics being, “Most people don’t know shit about boxing.” Following Saturday night’s fight, Paul challenged Diaz to an MMA fight. McGregor, meanwhile, is currently appearing on the season of The Ultimate Fighter and is expected to face rival coach Michael Chandler. However, the date for the face-off has not been officially announced yet.
