After Conor McGregor’s tough defeat and injury against Max Holloway at UFC 329, Jake Paul did not miss the opportunity to mock his longtime rival.
The boxer and influencer posted a video on social media imitating the way McGregor fell after getting injured, accompanied by laughing emojis, a provocation that quickly went viral.
Criticism was quick to emerge, as many considered it in poor taste to laugh at a fighter who had just suffered a serious injury. Hours later, Jake Paul toned it down and shared a message wishing him a speedy recovery.
Meanwhile, McGregor confirmed that he will have to undergo surgery and that his goal remains to return to the octagon when he is fully recovered.
