Adam Catterall of BT Sport sat down with Conor McGregor to talk ahead of his return in the UFC after a year. During the interview, Catterall mentioned that YouTubers had been calling McGregor out, a direct reference to Jake Paul calling the Irishman out for a boxing bout. To this, McGregor shrugged him off as “a confused liitle kid”.
Check out what The Notorious has got to say about Jake Paul calling him out:
“We’ll see what happens. He seems like a confused little kid to me to be honest. Now we know he’s willing to get in so I don’t know what will happen. It’s not on the radar at the moment with the young lad. I’ve a teammate [Dylan Moran], him and Dylan have been back and forth, so you never know. Fair play to the Logan guys getting him on the Floyd.. Floyd looks a bit fat to me. But I’m not against it. Any man who is willing to make that walk all the best to them.”
