Nurmagomedov and McGregor participated in one of the most fierce and unforgettable rivalries in UFC history. The provocative comments before the bout and the subsequent actions by 'The Eagle' solidified it as one of the most infamous feuds in the UFC.

Right now, the YouTuber is gearing up for a sparring match against fellow YouTuber, KSI scheduled for December 15 in London.


Jake Paul weighs in on KSI vs. IShowSpeed

Jake Paul seems unfazed by the overlap in timing between the KSI vs. IShowSpeed sparring match and his boxing showdown against Andre August.

During a recent interview with ESPN, 'The Problem Child' expressed his dissatisfaction with their alleged attempt to divert viewership from his fight, noting that it ultimately worked in his favor by generating increased interest in the Paul vs. August bout:

"I feel like the whole entire thing has backfired, because it's just brought more conversation to my fight. People have two screens, you know. They can watch two things at once. A 30-year-old guy is just out there with me on his mind all the time, trying to take things away from me, or mess up my business. It's funny that I live rent free in this kid's head."
