In a recent interview, former UFC lightweight Artem Lobov, McGregor’s friend and training partner, gave his opinion about the potential bout. Lobov believes the fight is not realistic and his friend would defeat Jake Paul with no hassle.
The Russian fighter, who last year fought at Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship and was part of McGregor’s team at The Ultimate Fighter 22, admits that Paul has the right intuition on calling out McGregor.
Lobov is sure that his friend McGregor, once a holder of two different UFC titles, is not at all worried about fighting Jake Paul. He is aware that ‘The Notorious’ McGregor is maybe the most famous name in the fighting world and is the right name to mention if what you want is media coverage.
Jake Paul’s call out to UFC legend Conor McGregor
Jake Paul is a YouTuber who initially rose to fame on the now-defunct video application Vine. He also acter on a Disney Channel series called Bizaardvark for two seasons. Since this year, Paul is also interested in boxing.
Paul is still unbeaten after winning his only two bouts. Although he never faced a professional fighter, he believes he can defeat a number of MMA athletes besides Conor McGregor. He is constantly exchanging threats with other mixed martial arts names such as Bellator’s Ben Askren and Dillon Danis. Danis is another McGregor team partner.
