Jake Paul and Conor McGregor have always been trash-talking each other for a long time. After Thompson’s fight, McGregor participated in a Q&A session on the internet livestream by the online gambling site Duelbits.
‘The Notorious’ being one of the most famous fighters of all time in UFC, and one of the favorite fighters of Dana White, talked about different aspects of Combat Sports, UFC, and Boxing, including the viral upcoming fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. When it came to the performance and character of the ‘Problem Kid’ Jake Paul, McGregor was not so kind.
Conor McGregor About Boxing Match
Conor McGregor took time to tweet his opinion on the fight that will take place on November 15. The match has been criticized due to the vast difference in age between the two fighters, Tyson is 58 years old, while the YouTuber Paul is only 27.
In addition, he also disapproved of the fight regulations which include a fight length of two rounds and the use of 14oz gloves. In an active live stream, the UFC star passionately expressed his views. Conor McGregor said this about the upcoming boxing match. “Mike Tyson, this is your stock. I don’t give a b*****s. They’re wearing 14oz gloves and it’s two-minute rounds. Who gives a b******s?” McGregor also said this about Jake Paul. “I hope Mike rattles the little dope! No one gives a f*ck about him!”
Jake Paul’s Reply To Conor McGregor
Jake Paul and McGregor have been trading barbs for many years, with Paul attempting to persuade the former UFC champion who was the two-division titleholder into the fight multiple times. The Ohio native Jake Paul will box against the former heavyweight boxing champion Tyson in an eight-round bout on November 15 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
But on the other side of the match, Conor McGregor was terminated because he delayed the fight, and Michael Chandler went forward in his career and challenged Tony Ferguson. Conor McGregor now does not have anyone to trash talk against anyone so, he challenged the new Welterweight Champion Belal Muhammad. Jake Paul reacted to the decline of Conor McGregor and said that Conor McGegor’s crash out needs to be studied”
Final Thoughts
Despite all the assumptions and rumors Conor McGregor is still training and is seen in the gym sometimes when he uploads videos on social media, he still has 2 fights left on his UFC contract. After that he’ll go toward boxing, Bare Knuckle Fighting. There might also be a boxing match between Jake Paul and Conor McGregor because that would be the fight that would sell the most. But for now, we know that their rivalry is one of the most viral topics in combat sports which will also be useful if they schedule a fight in the future. Odds are their war of words will not quiet down any time soon.

Alabama continues to fight off two prominent programs for blue-chip pass rusher who can put Tide's 2026 recruiting class over the top
Anthony "Tank" Jones has long been one of the top priorities for Alabama out on the recruiting trail. According to the Rivals Industry Rankings, the instate five-star is currently rated as the No. 22 player overall and the No. 4 EDGE while also being the top player from the state of Alabama. After struggling with instate recruiting during the 2025 cycle, Alabama's coaching staff has put on a clinic when it comes to closing on the top players from the state. They currently have commitments from the No. 2 (Cederian Morgan), No. 3 (Ezavier Crowell) and No. 4 (Zyan Gibson) players, but adding Jones, especially at such a critical position, would really be the cherry on top for what's turning out to be one of the most impressive classes in the country. Alabama is still having to compete with Oregon and Texas A M for Jones' services though, and they're not going away without a fight. On Thursday, Steve Wiltfong with On3/Rivals shared an update on the St. Paul's Episcopal (Mobile, Ala.) standout. According to Wiltfong, all three schools are confident that they'll be able to land the elite defender, and while many believe Alabama remains the program to beat, Oregon is beginning to push A M as the top challenger. "I think the sentiment is Oregon may be the biggest challenger," Wiltfong mentioned in the article. "I personally have talked more about Alabama and Texas A M during this process, but as a decision draws near I have a keen eye on Oregon as well." This isn't surprising, as A to Z Sports was told by a source that Oregon is the biggest challenger. Jones apparently likes Alabama and Oregon's defensive systems better than Texas A M, and while he has connected with all three coaching staffs, Alabama and Oregon have also separated on that front. Now, this doesn't mean the Aggies are out of it. They've done a nice job making their pitch to Jones, whether it be building a relationship or putting together a strong NIL package. Oregon has a lot to offer too, but Wiltfong says those close to the situation in Tuscaloosa remain confident that the Crimson Tide can earn his commitment in the near future. "Talking to sources that have spent time with him around Alabama there is confidence they keep the blue-chipper home," Wiltfong said. "He remains in regular communication and that has only intensified at the end." No decision date has been officially announced yet, but it wouldn't be a surprise if this is decided prior to the start of the high school football regular season. So we'll find out soon enough.

Dustin Rhodes Assigns Blame After Hulk Hogan’s Death
Following the shocking news of Hulk Hogan’s passing, wrestling legend Dustin Rhodes, known to millions as Goldust in WWE, took to social media to share a deeply personal and provocative reaction: “Hospitals truly kill people. I really do mean that.” Rhodes’ blunt statement stunned many fans, but those who know his story saw the pain behind the words. His father, the iconic Dusty Rhodes, passed away in 2015, aged 69, after a fall at home led to hospitalization for kidney failure. After his father's passing, Dustin shared a contemplative response on WWE's YouTube channel to discuss the legacy his father left behind. The news of Hogan's death comes just a month after reports suggested he was on his "deathbed" after undergoing a neck procedure back in May. Hogan's reps denied that was the case. In June, US Weekly reported that Hogan had also undergone a "pretty serious heart surgery and was doing well afterward." Dustin’s connection to his brother Cody Rhodes, now a top WWE superstar and face of the company’s next generation, is unbreakable. The Rhodes family legacy is deeply woven into the fabric of pro wrestling history, and seeing another legend like Hogan pass has clearly hit close to home. While Goldust and Hulk Hogan never had a headline-grabbing rivalry, they did share the ring once. It occurred in WCW in 2000 when Dustin Rhodes matched up against Hogan. Although their paths didn’t often cross in the squared circle, Hogan and the Rhodes family were part of the same larger-than-life era that helped define pro wrestling for decades and catapult the sport into society's zeitgeist. Rhodes’ comment about hospitals might not sit well with everyone, but it speaks to a raw and honest pain felt by someone who has seen too many legends, both personal and professional, fade away in similar fashion. The sport of wrestling has endured more than its fair share of lives cut short. As tributes continue to pour in for Hogan, Rhodes’ reaction serves as a powerful, if somber, reminder of the real human emotions behind the wrestling personas.
Yankees Labeled 'Most Aggressive' Suitor for NL All-Star Ahead of Trade Deadline
The MLB trade deadline is set for July 31 at 6 p.m. EST, and one team consistently involved in rumors is the New York Yankees. After falling short in the 2024 World Series, the Yankees are once again in the thick of the playoff race as the second half of the season unfolds. They currently hold a 56–46 record, but after dropping five of their last eight games—and with the Toronto Blue Jays surging—they now trail Toronto by four games in the AL East. With the deadline approaching, this marks their final opportunity to bolster the roster. According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Yankees and the Seattle Mariners are currently viewed as the two "most aggressive" teams in pursuit of Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman and NL All-Star Eugenio Suarez. The Yankees may not be desperate for another elite bat, but adding one certainly wouldn’t hurt—especially given their continued struggles at third base, where Suarez has played the majority of his career. Suarez is currently slashing .252 with 36 home runs—fourth-most in the majors—and a league-leading 86 RBIs. He’s in the final year of the seven-year, $66 million contract he originally signed with the Cincinnati Reds in 2018. Any team acquiring him at the deadline will face a tough decision in the offseason: either re-sign him or risk losing him in free agency. That said, the Yankees still need to assemble a compelling offer. With Suarez being one of the hottest bats in baseball, the Diamondbacks are reportedly asking for "a ton" in return, according to Mark Feinsand of MLB Network—raising the question of which team is willing to gamble on what could ultimately be a short-term rental.
Pelicans' exec makes team's stance on Zion Williamson crystal clear
It’s wild how quickly the NBA narrative can flip. A year ago, Zion Williamson was in every trade rumor possible. People were questioning his health, his work ethic, even his future in New Orleans. And the Pelicans? They didn’t really deny any of it. It felt like both sides were one step away from walking. But things have shifted this offseason — quietly, but clearly. The Pelicans could’ve pulled the plug. Zion’s contract gave them outs, and the trade market might’ve still brought back some real value. Instead, they stuck with him. And based on what one of their own just said, they’re not just keeping him around — they’re still betting big on him. In a recent interview with Spotrac’s Keith Smith, an anonymous Pelicans executive made it crystal clear. “Zion is still our guy. We’re all in on him. We think he’s going to have a huge year. We’ve had some bad injury luck and some things that just haven’t worked out. This partnership hasn’t even come close to reaching our best yet.” That’s not something you say if you’re halfway in. They backed it up with their offseason moves, too. They traded CJ McCollum and brought in Jordan Poole, a high-usage creator who can take pressure off Zion. They drafted Jeremiah Fears with the No. 7 pick, a dynamic young guard. They added Kevon Looney, a reliable veteran who brings playoff experience and toughness. Those aren’t tear-it-down moves — those are “let’s try this another way” moves. Of course, Zion’s health is still the question. That never really goes away. He played just 30 games last season, but in those games he looked solid: 24.6 points, 7.2 rebounds and 5.3 assists per night on 56.7 percent shooting. The explosiveness was there. The playmaking was sharp. And the hope for New Orleans is that this time, he can finally sustain it. What’s interesting is how the front office is trying to create a better environment around him. Joe Dumars has stepped in to lead basketball operations and is reportedly building a closer relationship with Zion — dinners, real conversations, not just surface-level stuff. It feels like, for once, the team is trying to meet him halfway. It’s a risk, sure. But it’s a calculated one. The West is brutal and the margin for error is thin. Still, if Zion can stay healthy for 60 games, and if Poole finds a rhythm and guys like Trey Murphy and Herb Jones keep improving — this team has a shot to be in the mix. The quote from the exec says it all. They could’ve hit reset, moved on, cleaned house. But they didn’t. They’re still in. And now it’s on Zion to hold up his end of the deal. After everything that’s happened, they’re telling the world they still believe. Now it’s time to find out if they’re right.
