Jake Paul seems to have rubbed the MMA community the wrong way after claiming that he can beat Conor McGregor without using both hands.
McGregor recently replied to a fan's tweet speculating on the Irishman's future involvement in boxing and jokingly asked if there would be belts for him to win.
Paul then brutally slammed 'The Notorious' in a subsequent quote tweet, saying:
"...Last time you fought for a belt was 4 years ago. Lost 3 of your last 4 fights. I would knock you out in the squared circle with one hand tied behind my back..."
