Jake Paul explains sick taunts at Conor McGregor’s pregnant fiancee and tells UFC star to win more to earn $50m bout

JAKE PAUL verbally attacked Conor McGregor's fiancee, Dee Devlin, because he wanted to 'piss off' the UFC superstar.

The YouTuber, 25, made derogatory comments about The Notorious' long-term partner in 2020 during an X-rated call-out video.

Paul has no remorse for his actions, insisting insulting the mother of McGregor's three children is not off-limits.

He told : "I wanted to piss him off. You know? I wanted to make a lot of noise, and I wanted it to become personal right away because I truly believe I can beat Conor McGregor.

"And people don't want to watch a fight where everyone's going in there being like, 'Hey, buddy, good luck tomorrow!'

"That's not the type of fighter I am. If we're going to go into a fight, no like, I'm going to destroy you, and anyone you're affiliated with is a part of the wrath and can be attacked."

Paul insists his comments were fair game considering McGregor's previous taunts about the wife of bitter rival Khabib Nurmagomedov, who he tweeted a picture of and called a 'towel'.

He added: "McGregor's done it. McGregor has attacked Khabib's wife, Khabib's religion, thrown chairs at people.

"Like, this is the fight business. If people are gonna get offended, then get the f**k over and choose a different sport. Go do gymnastics."

Paul's attempts to land a blockbuster fight with McGregor were unsuccessful and he instead turned his attention to Tyron Woodley, who he beat twice in 2021.

The ex-Disney star - who is 5-0 as a professional boxer - is brimming with confidence and will face Hasim Rahman Jr. on August 6 in New York.

But he hasn't forgotten his long-running feud with McGregor and recently accused the UFC star of stalking him on social media.

Paul said: "Conor’s gonna do everything he can to discredit me, but it’s clear he wants attention.

“If I’m a nobody, then why are you tweeting at me 10 minutes after that interview comes out?

"It’s like he had my notifications on.

"You shouldn't have f*****d with me, Conor. This is my game. There's a new king in town. I'm running s**t now."
