Jake Paul says he’ll score a first-round knockout over Conor McGregor
In a recent interview with TMZ Sports, Jake Paul had quite a bit to say about UFC star Conor McGregor.
In the interview, Paul tells TMZ that he is “willing to do a fight in MMA.”
Paul continues to call McGregor “selfish” and says that “Conor is on a downhill spiral, his limbs are all broken.”
He then makes a big statement telling TMZ that in a standup game, he would knock McGregor out in the first round.
In recent months, Jake Paul has been taking shots at the UFC. He has released a ‘diss track’ in which the chorus is “F**k Dana White,” he has called out the UFC brass for fighter pay and has proposed various deals with the organization.
Earlier this year, Paul had this proposition:
Happy new year @danawhite. Here is a real challenge for you…
I will immediately retire from boxing and fight Jorge Masvidal in the UFC if you agree to: pic.twitter.com/bJScDVITvL

Most recently, Paul proposed a fight under the UFC banner against McGregor:
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?

The YouTube sensation turned boxing star has entered the ring five times in his boxing career. With an undefeated record of 5-0, he has finished Ali Eson Gib, Nate Robinson, Ben Askren, and Tyron Woodley in the boxing ring.
After some time off, he has been eyeing an August return to the ring.

As of now, White has made no comment on Paul’s recent statement of knocking out McGregor, and most likely, he won’t make a statement.
Despite the unlikeliness of this bout coming to fruition, how would you see it going down?
