Jake Paul recently took aim at both Conor McGregor and Dana White, all while mocking a since-deleted tweet from the Irishman. In the tweet, ‘The Notorious’ appeared to be pleading with the UFC CEO for a spot on a Dec. card, even urging fans to echo his sentiments after White claimed that McGregor would not be fighting in 2024.

Check out Conor McGregor’s since-deleted tweet here:

Conor McGregor reacts to Dana White saying he won't fight this year:

"Come on now, what's this? I am off to altitude next month to prepare. DECEMBER! Tell Dana and UFC WE WANT DECEMBER! WE DESERVE DECEMBER!"

Paul took to X/Twitter to poke fun at the entire situation. In a since-deleted tweet, he wrote:

“Coke head Conor is so down he’s asking fans to help him get his fight booked. Not sure what’s sadder, his downfall or that the biggest star in UFC history is controlled by Dana White like an employee & can’t fight when he wants.”

Whether McGregor truly hopes to fight this year is a question with no answer, as there has been little certainty regarding the Irishman’s octagon return. He has flirted with various return dates, before ultimately settling with UFC 303 as the event to host his promised comeback.

Unfortunately, he fractured his toe and was subsequently forced to withdraw from his bout with Michael Chandler, who has grown increasingly frustrated with the lack of clarity over his supposed matchup with McGregor. Now even Chandler, who has waited for McGregor for a considerable amount of time, has started to entertain other options.

Given McGregor’s recent business dealings with the BKFC and his frequent partying, the possibility that he may never fight again grows stronger every time White pushes his return date.
