Jake Paul blasts Conor McGregor's antics on social media amid UFC 303 pull out: "He's embarrassing himself"
Jake Paul recently sounded off on Conor McGregor's antics on social media amid his withdrawal from UFC 303, where he was scheduled to fight Michael Chandler in the main event. The YouTuber-turned-boxer took aim at him as he believes he isn't taking his career seriously and tarnishing his legacy as a result.
It's not the first time that 'The Problem Child' has taken jibes at the former two-division UFC champion as he has expressed interest in fighting him in a boxing match in the past. He recently amplified his criticism of McGregor by taking aim at his recent performances inside the octagon.
During his appearance on today's episode of The MMA Hour to promote his boxing match against Mike Perry, the 27-year-old shared his thoughts on 'The Notorious'. Paul mentioned that McGregor is tarnishing his image with his lifestyle choices and not competing to back up his trash talk anymore. He said:
"He's [McGregor] embarrassing himself. He's ruining his legacy with all the drugs and the way he looks online. He's lost his mind, he's a maniac and like, I feel bad for the guy now. And so, you could say all these things about him but he hasn't proven it, he hasn't backed anything up, and that's the way I look at it is from the facts and the numbers."

Jake Paul offers Conor McGregor tickets to his boxing match against Mike Perry
Jake Paul continued his tirade on Conor McGregor by even issuing a personal invitation for him to attend his next boxing bout against Mike Perry.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer will be fighting the BKFC star on July 20, which is the same night he was originally scheduled to fight former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson. During the aforementioned clip, Paul took a jibe at McGregor, who is a minority owner of BKFC, by offering him a complimentary ticket to support his fighter at the event. He said:
"Yeah, look, we can get him a fourth or a fifth row ticket but he's kind of lost his celebrity and star power. I don't think people really care about him, but I'm sure I could compliment him a fourth or fifth row [ticket]."
