Conor McGregor picks Nate Diaz to defeat Jake Paul in boxing match: ‘He slaps the head off him’

While in Las Vegas for the big Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia boxing bout that went down on Saturday, Conor McGregor was approached outside of a casino to give his take on the upcoming Nate Diaz vs. Jake Paul fight.

After Garcia was defeated in the seventh round due to a nasty body shot from Davis, McGregor went backstage to give a motivational speech to the young boxer.

McGregor knows a thing or two about losing major battles in his career. He got redemption for the defeat he suffered at the hands of Nate Diaz back in 2016 but has also lost two straight fights to his biggest rival: Dustin Poirier.
