CONOR McGREGOR blanked Jake Paul’s direct message on Instagram after the YouTuber called him a ‘pussy’.
Paul has been campaigning extensively to fight the ex-UFC champion and even claimed he had sent McGregor a $50million fight offer.
Conor McGregor appears to have read Jake Paul’s message
The social media sensation then went one further by private messaging the Irishman online.
He wrote: “Take the fight pussy.”
Paul, 23, later provided a screenshot which appeared to reveal that McGregor, 32, had read the message – but chose to ignore it.
It comes after the 2-0 internet star called The Notorious an ‘Irish c***’ and took a swipe at his fiancee Dee Devlin in an X-rated rant.
Even Paul’s brother Logan – who faces Floyd Mayweather in February – admitted Jake was ‘f***ing dumb’ for going after McGregor.
But the younger of the two is showing no signs of slowing down his pursuit and even went off on UFC boss Dana White.
White responded by saying he is ‘thinking of letting Amanda Nunes knock his ass out’.
But again Paul’s interest lies only with McGregor, despite pelting his training partner Dillon Danis in a drive-by water balloon attack.
He told White: “Alright, Dana, let me try to understand your logic here: So you’re saying you don’t want me to fight Conor McGregor because he’s one of the greatest fighters in the world and I’m just like a YouTuber of whatever.
“But then, in a statement today, you say: ‘Oh, I’m thinking about just having Amanda Nunes knock him out.’ But she’s also one of the greatest.
“Dana, you seem to have this thing where you sort of hate on videogamers or YouTubers and influencers and us boxing and all this stuff.
“But then, you spend half your time hanging out with the Nelk Boys. And I know why.
“It’s because they have hella influence over the male audience and you know that’s gonna promote the UFC.
“And right now, baby, there’s nobody in this f***ing world who is promoting the UFC as much as me.
“Tens of millions of views, number one search result on Google when you type in Conor McGregor, when you type in UFC, when you type in Dana White.
“So, you’re not making sense here.”
