McGregor's Manager Doesn't Rule It Out
Conor McGregor's manager, Audi Attar, has left the door open for a potential MMA super-fight against Jake Paul. Despite Paul's continuous call-outs and taunts towards McGregor, Attar has not dismissed the possibility of the matchup.
Paul's Eager Challenge
Jake Paul has been extremely eager to fight McGregor and has even offered to face him in the MMA cage. Since making his professional debut in 2020, Paul has been relentless in his pursuit of a fight with the Irishman.
McGregor's Return to UFC
Conor McGregor is currently preparing for his return to the UFC after being sidelined since July 2021 due to a leg injury. As he builds towards his comeback, his manager is open to exploring the possibility of a blockbuster showdown with Paul.
Attar's Comments
Audi Attar spoke to Fox about the potential fight, saying, "I think anything's always possible. You never say never. It's all about how things line up. Getting back into the octagon is step one, going in and handling business there. Then, not looking past that, but then, obviously, when you get past that, look at your options and see what's next."

Paul's Next Steps
Before any potential fight with McGregor, Jake Paul is set to make his MMA debut in the Professional Fighters League. On December 15, he will face boxer Andre August in Florida. This comes after his loss to Tommy Fury in February and a subsequent victory over Nate Diaz in August.
McGregor's Reaction to Paul's Win
After Paul's win against Nate Diaz, McGregor criticized his performance, calling it "abysmal" and "embarrassing." However, Paul has made it clear that he is not interested in fighting McGregor next and has expressed a desire to compete against more professional boxers, including Canelo Alvarez.
Will Conor McGregor and Jake Paul face off in the octagon? Only time will tell, but the possibility remains open as McGregor prepares for his UFC return.
