Conor McGregor backed to be tougher opponent for Jake Paul than Nate Diaz

UFC legend Michael Bisping believes Conor McGregor's striking makes him a tougher opponent for Jake Paul than Nate Diaz.

YouTube star Paul has made a successful start to his professional boxing career having defeated the likes of former UFC stars Tyron Woodley and Ben Askren in his first five victories. Throughout his time in the sport, Paul has expressed his desire to face both Diaz and McGregor providing they are able to negotiate deals outside of the UFC.

McGregor has already fought in the boxing ring once having been defeated in a mega-fight with Floyd Mayweather in 2017. And UFC legend Michael Bisping believes McGregor is now superior to Diaz in terms of boxing technique and power.
