Conor McGregor's sparring partner expresses mock fear after watching Jake Paul train

Conor McGregor's sparring partner Dylan Moran has joked he "doesn't want it" from Jake Paul after watching his latest training footage.

The Irish welterweight is a close friend of McGregor's having been drafted into his camp for UFC 257 when he faced Dustin Poirier in their rematch. At the time, the UFC legend was eyeing up a boxing return against Manny Pacquiao, and coach Philip Sutcliffe brought in a few boxers to mix up sparring with MMA fighters.

Ultimately, this led to Paul showing interest in Moran's career, mocking the Waterford native for his sole professional loss to Dennis Okoth in the summer of 2019. The pair went back-and-forth on social media, but nothing came of the feud.
