Jake Paul took a swipe at Conor McGregor by asserting that Nate Diaz, whom he defeated in a boxing match in August 2023, was the “weakest puncher” he has faced. Diaz notably handed McGregor his first UFC defeat in March 2016 before losing to him in a rematch later that year.
On his podcast, Paul criticized Diaz’s punching power and questioned how McGregor could have been defeated by him years ago. He remarked, “He’s the weakest puncher I’ve ever fought. When he was hitting me, I almost started laughing. I’m not even saying this to talk s***.”
Paul’s comments reflect his ongoing rivalry and outspoken nature in the combat sports world, aiming to provoke reactions and maintain his controversial persona.
