**Jake Paul and Conor McGregor Trade Blows Ahead of Paul's Fight with Tyson**
The tension between Jake Paul and Conor McGregor has escalated once again. On Friday, during a live stream hosted by the online gambling platform Duelbits, McGregor shared his thoughts on various subjects, including his "Top-5 MMA GOATS", UFC champions Belal Muhammad and Ilia Topuria, and Jake Paul's upcoming bout against Mike Tyson. McGregor didn't hold back in his comments about Paul, expressing disdain and hoping that Tyson would teach Paul a lesson. "I hope Mike rattles the little dope! No one gives a f*ck about him!" McGregor exclaimed, which clearly struck a chord with Paul.
The very next day, Paul hit back at McGregor's disparaging remarks. He took to social media to mock McGregor, posting a video where he imitated McGregor's famously erratic behavior while adding an increasing amount of white powder to his own face. Along with the video, Paul tweeted, "Conor McGregor's crash out needs to be studied," making it clear that he was not taking McGregor's insults lightly.
The rivalry between Paul and McGregor has been simmering for years, with Paul frequently challenging the former two-division UFC champion to a fight. This ongoing feud adds another layer of intrigue to Paul's upcoming eight-round boxing match against the legendary Mike Tyson, scheduled for November 15 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX.
While Paul is gearing up for his clash with Tyson, McGregor has been absent from competition since sustaining a severe leg injury against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021. Fans eagerly await McGregor's return, which is expected in early 2025.
