Jake Paul shuts down Conor McGregor return debate after Michael Chandler saga: "I don't really care"
Jake Paul recently came clean on what he thinks about Conor McGregor's return to fighting. After the failure in the negotiations for McGregor's comeback, 'The Problem Child' seems to have lost interest in the entire thing.
The 31st season of 'The Ultimate Fighter' featured McGregor and Michael Chandler as rival coaches, clarifying that the Irishman would lock horns against Chandler for his return fight. Dana White and co. had also set up the UFC 303 to feature this much-awaited fight. However, in the end, it all fell flat after McGregor pulled out of the fight due to a toe injury.
In one of his recent exchanges with The Schmo, McGregor mentioned that he hasn't given up on the Chandler fight. However, Paul's recent interview had him revealing that he isn't interested in 'The Notorious's' return any more:
"I don't really care, to be honest. Whatever happens will happen."

Conor McGregor more interested in fighting Belal Muhammad than Michael Chandler
Conor McGregor hasn't talked much about settling his unfinished business with Michael Chandler, apart from that one interview with The Schmo. On the other hand, he has already expressed his desire to fight Belal Muhammad more than once.
The initial revelation of McGregor's desire to fight Muhammad came during one of his Duelbits-sponsored live streams on Kick:
"Okay Chandler's matched. Belal-McGregor UFC Welterweight World Title Fight... I do damage at 170, yeah... This man [Belal] hasn't even got a knockdown in UFC history."

A few days back, McGregor fired another shot with a now-deleted tweet. He specified how he would defeat Muhammad if given the chance:
"I'd love to crush my left hook into Belal's temple and take down the triple crown. I'd do it easily. And fast!..."
"To think this bum is now a UFC champion with zero knockdowns on his resume whatsoever is so bad. The UFC's most abysmal zero revenue generating fighter in modern history"
Despite McGregor's revelations, there's nobody except time who can tell whether he will return to fighting and who will he face if he does.
