Jake Paul predicts he could KO Conor McGregor with six months of training

Jake Paul believes he needs just six months of training in the cage to be able to KO Conor McGregor.

Paul made an offer to UFC president Dana White this weekend which would see him sign a one-fight deal to face McGregor.

If he won, White would have to agree to Paul's previous proposal which would see increased UFC fighter pay, guaranteed the 50 per cent of revenue and provide them with long-term healthcare.

"If he lost, Paul would donate his purse to those fighters who earn less than $50,000 per bout and never mention UFC again."

But the 25-year-old is confident he would have his hand raised, telling ESPN : "Fighting Conor is what I want most, but would fight [Jorge] Masvidal as well.

"I know it might seem impossible to beat these guys in MMA, but when you believe, you can achieve anything. I would ask for six months to train.

"There are no losers in this proposal. UFC has a massive revenue generating event. If I win, Dana will change the future of UFC fighters forever.

"If I lose there will be a one-time bonus to a lot of fighters, MMA doesn't have to hear from me again and Conor [or] Jorge win again and get to shut up Jake Paul.

"If I lose I would donate my earnings from the fight to fighters who make less than $50K per fight, with a higher share going to athletes who make the least but have been in the UFC longer and I will never mention UFC again."

Paul has been chasing a boxing fight with McGregor since he turned professional in 2020.

Paul had commented on McGregor's "embarrassing" training footage as the former two-weight world champion returned to training ahead of his expected summer return.

"A new saying is, I feel bad for stupid people, they're so stupid they don't even realise they're stupid," Paul went on to say.

"It's like people who think Masvidal is a good fighter; it's like the people who think Conor McGregor is still a good fighter.

"These guys haven't won fights in I don't know how the f*** long. They're over the hill, washed-up bozos and I'm going to knock them both the f*** out."
