Jake Paul trolls Conor McGregor with $134k insult before UFC 264

Social media star Jake Paul has trolled Conor McGregor by getting a diamond-encrusted necklace of the UFC superstar’s last loss made by his jeweller.

The YouTuber revealed he’d spent $AUD134,000 ($US100,000) on a chain depicting a knocked out McGregor after his defeat to Dustin Poirier at UFC 257 earlier this year.

In a video on his Instagram, Paul said: “All right, check it. My new $100,000 Nyquil McGregor, Sleepy McGregor chain.

“Thank you Benny Da Jeweller Let’s go.”

After revelling at his latest piece of bling, Paul then urged The Notorious not to lose his UFC 264 trilogy fight with Poirier today.

He continued: “Eh, McGregor, you better win tonight otherwise we’re not going to be able to fight.

“Because if you lose, your career is over and that $50 million I gave you won’t be on the table anymore.”

The Problem Child signed off by stroking the top of the McGregor figurine and saying: “Don’t go sleepy, sleepy.

“Good night, McGregor. F**k you, b***h.”

Paul took trolling to a very expensive level.

Paul, 24, has taken a number of shots at McGregor this week. After seeing the Irishman’s display at the UFC 264 pre-fight press conference, he said: “You can tell Conor has lost ‘it’.

“He no longer speaks from a place of authenticity and you can tell he’s trying to convince himself of his own lies.

“He takes offence to everything now. He’s bathing in his own insecurities.

“When we fight I will further expose him for the fraud he is.”

The outspoken Paul has been trying to land a big-money boxing fight with McGregor for the best part of six months.

McGregor, 32, has in large part ignored the former Disney star but recently admitted he’s open to facing both Paul brothers — Jake and sibling Logan.

The Irishman said: “I couldn’t care about them two dingbats. I don’t see so, but never say never.

“If they’re gonna keep competing, who knows? But, dingbats, the two of them.”
