Jake Paul: You might think I’m ‘crazy,’ but I know I’d KO Conor McGregor in MMA

5-0 boxer Jake Paul is serious about making the transition to MMA and fighting UFC superstar Conor McGregor.

Paul, who holds knockout victories over Tyron Woodley and Ben Askren, wants to add another former UFC champion to his highlight-reel.

The 25-year-old YouTuber believes McGregor, who turns 34 this summer, is on a ‘downhill spiral’ and would struggle to keep up with him inside the cage.

Paul is confident he would KO McGregor in the first round despite having no experience in MMA.

“I know I can beat Conor and people think, ‘Oh, this kid’s crazy’ and yeah, I am like no, that’s why I’ve gotten this far,” Paul told TMZ Sports in a recent interview (h/t Sportskeeda).
