Shortly after Paul's victory over Woodley, McGregor took to Twitter and posted that he was “salivating”, without naming names. Asked about the hint, the YouTuber stated that the Irishman needs to focus on other things before thinking about facing him.
“We're on the way to a lot of bigger fights, I'm salivating too because I'm just warming up. Conor McGregor There's a lot more to focus on than me right now. I'm on five wins in a row, he's won one and lost three in the last four years. So the guy needs to put down the vodka or whatever he's drinking, get sober and get back to the gym. Then we can fight,” he teased Jake Paul at the post-fight press conference.
Even though he hints that he does not intend to face McGregor at the moment, Jake Paul analyzed a possible fight against his rival. According to the YouTuber, the Irishman would be an easier opponent to beat than Tyron woodley.
“To be honest, there’s no way he hits harder than Woodley. He doesn't weigh as much as Woodley. He's shorter than Woodley. I said this before the fight, I think Woodley is a tougher opponent than him, especially at this stage. Conor is going down, I'm going up.”
Conor McGregor recovers from the serious injury suffered in the trilogy against Dustin poirier, in July this year, when he broke his leg. The former champion is expected to return to the octagon in mid-2022.
