Jake Paul warned Conor McGregor Islam Makhachev will do exactly what Khabib Nurmagomedov did in 2018.
Khabib was the inspiration for Makhachev The UFC lightweight title was wonSaturday night, Charles Oliveira was defeated.
After Nurmagomedov retired at a perfect 29,0, he brought the title back home to Russia.
McGregor was one of those wins. He has never looked better since.
“Nice fight, nice performance,” McGregor wrote in a messages directed at Makhachev, that have since been deleted. “I have built all the tools to beat this style now vs before. Experience vs s***. Baby brain batter shots from the bottom and clinch shots that can break your face. You’ll also be familiar with the rest of my repertoire. Steel left leg. Cannon back hand. Wrist control.
“The thought of shutting down this system of fighting with my own developed system is quite intriguing to me. Whichever one of them is against. It’s not personal. It’s a skill evaluation and a fight. It can be passed down through the generations. The IMAAFs, amateurs. A war of attrition. To the box.”
McGregor has fought only three times since his loss to Khabib four-years ago. McGregor won the first fight against Donald Cerrone. Then, he lost back-to-back to Dustin Poirier.
The 34-year old suffered a severe fractured tibia. He is still trying to return to the Octagon. Dana White effectively confirmed that he was not in the USADA drug pool. He will need to be there for six months before he can compete again.
Writing on Twitter, Jake Paul said: “Only tools he has built are twitter fingers. Islam would Khabib him in a single round. Hence why he deleted his tweets.”
