Conor McGregor claims Jake Paul is intimidated
Meanwhile, McGregor is preparing for his exhibition bout against Gervonta Davis on November 14, a 10-round fight with 355-gram gloves that will officially declare a winner, though it won’t count toward their professional records.
The taunts aimed at Paul come as McGregor also pressures the UFC to secure a fight against Michael Chandler on next year’s White House event card, although the organization has not yet confirmed the lineup. Meanwhile, the former two-division champion deals with the consequences of his anti-doping violations.

Suspension and uncertain future: McGregor battle outside the octagon
The Combat Sports Anti-Doping (CSAD) announced that Conor McGregor received an 18-month suspension for missing three drug test location attempts in 2024.
The retroactive sanction will run from September 20, 2024, to March 20, 2026, allowing the Irishman to return in time for the June 2026 fight card.
Despite the restriction, McGregor has fully cooperated with the investigation and continues training while maintaining his trademark humor and provocative attitude.
Throughout this period, Conor McGregor has used every opportunity to mock Jake Paul, highlighting that the influencer’s refusal to fight in BKFC demonstrates fear and intimidation. Between suspensions, exhibitions, and media provocations, McGregor continues to cement his image as “The Notorious,” an athlete who dominates headlines both inside and outside the ring.
His mix of humor, strategy, and high-profile rivalries keeps Conor McGregor at the center of attention, proving that even outside the octagon, his presence always sparks anticipation and controversy.
