Conor McGregor and Logan Paul are taking their war of words to new heights, building the hype for a potential boxing showdown. McGregor took to social media today, claiming he's in preliminary talks for a fight against Paul in India -- a matchup that has fans buzzing.
Paul, fresh off his return to WWE during the Raw on Netflix kickoff event, didn't hold back. He announced his move to the Raw roster while mocking McGregor by stealing one of his iconic catchphrases. McGregor wasted no time firing back on Twitter, calling out Paul's in-ring skills and throwing shade at his novice status.
"TKO Group! UFC vs WWE. There are levels to this, a big sloppy novice is going to find out!" McGregor tweeted. He also touted his dominance in the fight game, adding, "TKO KING TITLE #BiggestGenerator #KingofNumbers #Streams #PPV I hold every record and I am coming back to KO this novice and rack in more numbers for the company. #StockMarketIndia #MyHighestPayPacketYet #Thanksforthecheese."
The UFC megastar's fiery tweet underscores the connection between the two stars, as both are under the TKO Group, the parent company of WWE and UFC. McGregor seems ready to cash in on what could be his biggest payday yet, promising to knock out Paul while delivering record-breaking numbers for the company.
Paul, who hasn't boxed since his controversial disqualification win over McGregor's former teammate Dillon Danis, has yet to respond. Meanwhile, fans are left wondering when -- or if -- this bout will actually go down.
