Conor McGregor has hit out at "wally" Jake Paul after he announced he had signed a deal to make his MMA debut.
The YouTube star has fought six times in the boxing ring without defeat against the likes of former UFC stars Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva, but has always spoken of his desire to compete in the cage. On Thursday, Paul announced that he had signed a deal with MMA promotion PFL to make his debut in the cage, where he will fight in their new pay-per-view 'super-fight' division.
Paul will also receive equity from the promotion as part of the deal and is also taking up a new role as Head of Fighter Advocacy. Despite showing excitement ahead of the commencing of his new contract, UFC superstar McGregor has questioned the partnership, tweeting and deleting: "Numbnuts gave away fifty per cent of his future purse if he does an MMA fight.
