JAKE PAUL offered Dustin Poirier his $100,000 ‘sleepy’ Conor McGregor chain and said: ‘I think you deserve it’.
After McGregor was knocked out in January by Poirier – the man he initially beat in 2014 – Paul got a custom made necklace of the beaten Irishman.
The YouTuber attended their trilogy fight at UFC 264 in Las Vegas, which ended in chaos.
McGregor suffered a suspected broken ankle just before the end of the round and was unable to fight on.
Following the doctor’s stoppage, Poirier was declared the winner, giving him two consecutive wins over his rival.
And Paul was quick to congratulate the American, while rubbing salt into the wounds of McGregor.
He tweeted: “aye @DustinPoirier want me to ship this to you? $100k gift from me I think you deserve it.”
Paul, who is 3-0 as a boxer all by knockout, has continuously chased a mega-money boxing match against McGregor.
But the former two-weight UFC champion, who called the social media star and his brother Logan ‘dingbats’, promised to commit his immediate future to MMA.
And Paul now has a longer wait to face McGregor, who wants a FOURTH fight with Poirier.

He said: “I was boxing the bleeding head off him, kicking the bleeding leg off him.
“Usual s***e, dive to close the distance. This is not over. I have to take this outside with him, it’s all outside.”
Poirier also confirmed his interest in another rematch, and would even be willing to do it on the street.
He said: “We are going to fight again whether it’s in the octagon or on the sidewalk.”
