Conor McGregor has admitted that he prefers a fight with KSI rather than Jake Paul due to the former’s popularity in England.
The UFC legend, one of the most recognisable fighters on the planet, has competed in both high-profile MMA and boxing bouts, and he says he has no issue fighting either influencer.
McGregor’s next move in UFC is still unconfirmed and he’s currently without a fight date as he looks to end nearly three years of inactivity.
In that time, KSI and Paul have competed in numerous major events and McGregor has provided an update on going up against the pair.
“Yeah, you know, the YouTube nerds could be like, I would consider that a nixer,” said McGregor when speaking to SneakPeek.
“Your uncle’s friend needs a f-----g radiator fitted in his house, so you’ll do a side job, and get side pay.
“I would consider them guys to be 'nixers'. If I was to pick one out of them, I would say KSI, he has a big name in the U.K.”
