It looks like the Paul brothers are taking turns against Conor McGregor; and after a rather strange connection at Donald Trump's inauguration, it's The Problem Child's turn to take aim.
The former two-time UFC champion has had a long, long rivalry with both Jake and Logan Paul, although the three initially appeared to 'crush their beef' as they traveled to the inauguration ceremony earlier this week.
Those pleasantries lasted a few hours at most, with videos later showing Conor McGregor snapping at the older brother amid rumors of a $500 million boxing match later this year.

Jake Paul confronts Conor McGregor after a strange 'connection' in DC
On Wednesday, YouTuber turned WWE superstar Logan Paul shared a new VLOG on his social media pages, showing part of his day traveling with McGregor, brother Jake Paul and a slew of other martial arts stars.
“You kept your mouth shut,” McGregor told Logan, teasing that he had been “very quiet” about speculation that the two could face each other in the boxing ring in 2025.
'You give all this, 'Dana this, Dana that' [when] you're fucking controlled by the WWE too, man – don't pass it all on,” the Irishman raged, those comments becoming a sticking point for the younger brother.
On his own social media page earlier today, Jake labeled Paul McGregor a 'total clown' for his comments about his brother being 'controlled' and him not.
“My man…you are a total clown. You have no control over your own career. The conductor checks what you do and what you don't do, and you bow and thank you for payment, sir.'
Back to the VLOG, and as the trio shared a bus ride to the Capitol rotunda, things got heated again: “This is the real deal; You know that brother, we will do it,” McGregor declared about boxing.
“What can we do? 190, 195 pounds? [Jake] was ill. It made him sick! Listen, here's the deal. I'm going to cut your and KSI's heads off. To me you are nixers. Do you understand that? Part-time jobs.”
A nice statement from McGregor, although it was Logan Paul who had the last laugh: “You can't even do your main job, how are you going to do a side job?!”
Conor McGregor Teases Another UFC Comeback Delay in a New Window
McGregor was forced to admit he was defeated by Logan Paul's latest comment before teasing that the social media star should keep an eye on “November, stay tuned.”
While that's far from a confirmation regarding his UFC comeback, November would be in line with Dana White's recent assessment of Notorious' situation.
On a recent episode of Pardon My Take, the UFC CEO laughed off the idea that his biggest superstar could end up boxing one of the Paul brothers, before responding that he would “eventually” return this year, “hopefully Conor McGregor returns . in the fall of this year.”
