UFC fighter Conor McGregor and YouTuber Jake Paul recently got involved in a war of words in a now-partially deleted Twitter exchange following Paul’s most recent boxing victory.
On Saturday night in Dallas, Paul picked up the win over Nate Diaz, who has shared the UFC’s octagon with McGregor on two separate occasions via unanimous decision. It all began with a criticism of Nate Diaz’s performance and turned into a stated attack on Paul before the exchange really took a turn for the worse.
Paul had seen enough, and responded to the former two-division champion.
“Peoples champ I gonna say this now, them antics when its time2move ain’t hitting for me no more. I’ve seen him point, I’ve seen him turn/walk away etcetc. it’s stale now. Fkn Do somthing cos you’re doing nothing! Could’ve been the 170lb ufc champion. Wasted it. Ur doing f*** all.” – Conor McGregor in since deleted tweet.
“I gonna serve up your liver on a sandwich in the trilogy m8. Out straight. I won’t even hit your face. That was abysmal last night. Paul is a r*****. Absolute garbage he is. Moving backwards like I was watching a fight in rewind. Holy garbage. Embarrassing stuff all around IMO. #piss” – Conor McGregor in since deleted tweet.
McGregor would continue to take shots at Paul with more deleted tweets, including calling Paul derogatory names. Paul is no stranger to social media battles, and decided to keep it going by taking shots at McGregor’s recent troubles with the law, including the accusations against McGregor stemming from Game 4 of the NBA Finals in Miami.
I see people bent out of shape bc McGregor called me a “wigger”. It’s the fight game. I don’t give a fuck about what a coked out, juiced up, shitty cheap whisky drinking fool says & then deletes. He’s a selfish, self-centered, salty drug addict who hasn’t done anything for other… pic.twitter.com/JeXT4T4Xr3
