Jake Paul vs Nate Robinson ended in a KO and the YouTube star called out Conor McGregor
Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr featured some other fights on the card with Jake Paul starring in one of them.
The YouTuber had fought once in his career as he won a fight earlier this year. However, he was taking on NBA star Nate Robinson in this clash and no one really gave him a chance to win.
Robinson has several years of NBA experience and has been a professional sportsman for a decade or so. However, it was Paul who picked up the shock win in the second round as he knocked out Robinson.
This caught many out and there was more to come. Paul confirmed he couldn’t spar much after he had broken his nose and that is one reason why he didn’t feature in the pre-fight press conference.
Paul certainly had adrenaline pumping in his veins as after the boxing match, he called out a couple of big names.
Paul was barely out of the ring and called out former UFC two-division champion Conor McGregor. He also claimed that he would knock out McGregor and Bellator star Dillon Danis. Danis is undefeated in his career while McGregor is considered as one of the greatest MMA stars of all time.
Being 2-0 in professional boxing is a great feat, especially for someone who doesn’t have a lot of training in it. However, calling out one of the greats in MMA is a weird decision. McGregor did lose his only professional boxing fight to Floyd Mayweather Jr, but taking on Paul should be easy for him.
Many MMA fans weren’t all that pleased with the call out and laughed hilariously at Paul. Some of them claimed McGregor were defeat him easily while others just couldn’t believe what had just transpired.
