The rivalry between UFC's Conor McGregor and boxing great Floyd Mayweather has flared up again. After Mayweather tweeted a threat toward Logan Paul—suggesting he'd put the YouTuber on a 'muzzle' similar to how he handled McGregor in August 2017—Conor responded by calling him a dog. Along with the insult, McGregor posted a picture from their previous fight, sparking a wave of fan requests for a second showdown between the two.
Mayweather has publicly vowed to face Logan Paul after the YouTuber's recent provocations. Paul, who built his fighting reputation through high-profile matches against fellow creator KSI, recently went viral for calling out the boxing legend. In the video, Paul confidently asserted that he would dominate Mayweather in any setting, whether it be a professional MMA fight or a street brawl, claiming one powerful punch would be enough to finish him.
Mayweather certainly saw the viral clip and didn't hold back on Twitter. He dismissed Paul as one of the 'YouTube girls,' suggesting that he and his peers should find some Barbie dolls to play with instead of trying to engage him in 'kid games.' It's a bold stance from a man who retired as an undefeated champion across five different weight classes.
During his rant, Mayweather brought up Conor McGregor, reminding everyone how he silenced the UFC star. He hinted that he wouldn't mind giving Logan Paul the same treatment before he departs for his upcoming fight in Japan.
McGregor, who is preparing for his own return to the octagon this January, kept his reply short and biting. He responded to Mayweather's tweet with a single 'dog' emoji and a photo showing Mayweather in a defensive posture, with his back turned to McGregor.
The internet exploded after McGregor's response, with fans flooding the comments to demand another fight between the two legends. Seizing the moment, Logan Paul jumped in, tweeting that he is the one who will finally ruin Mayweather's perfect record, jokingly writing '50-1'.
