Jake Paul claims he knows why McGregor went after MGK

Jake Paul has given his thoughts on why Conor McGregor decided to go after Machine Gun Kelly at the VMAs.

In one of the strangest altercations of the year thus far, Conor McGregor threw his drink over the aforementioned Machine Gun Kelly whilst the two were walking the red carpet at the VMAs last weekend. There were too many people in the middle of it all for anything to escalate further but even with that being the case, it was still an odd moment with many questioning the motive of McGregor to start a beef with MGK.

What really went down?

The biggest rumour was that Kelly had refused to take a photo with “The Notorious” but as per the man himself in a recent interview with ESPN, “The Problem Child” Jake Paul has a different theory.

“Some people are saying that Conor McGregor mistook him for me because we look the same, like blonde hair, little bit tall,” Paul said.

“That was like the rumour that happened, I think it’s hilarious.

“Conor McGregor is a real fighter, why is he on a celebrity red carpet throwing drinks at Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly? It’s just disrespectful.

“But Kells handled himself like a professional, he didn’t get hot, he didn’t retaliate because I think he knows that Conor just looked like an idiot.

“This guy is falling apart and trying to find any reason to get attention.”

Don’t look now, but it may not be long before Jake Paul actually talks himself into a boxing match against Conor McGregor.
