Jake Paul emulated rival Conor McGregor at Friday’s weigh-in ahead of his fight with Anderson Silva.
Paul will be going toe-to-toe with Silva in the ring in his latest tussle with one of the legends of the MMA game.
He’s already knocked out both Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley and will be hoping to do the same with ‘The Spider’.
Paul has made no secret of his desire to fight UFC icon Conor McGregor, should he successfully navigate Silva.
Perhaps that’s what inspired his behaviour at Friday’s weigh-in, with Paul appearing to mimic McGregor on the scales.
They say that imitation is the imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. You can be certain that’s how Conor will be feeling.
Paul and Conor are more alike than they’d like to admit. It’s often a reason why personalities clash in this manner.
We hope that the Jake Paul circus continues long enough to see him tussle with Conor. That’d be quite something.
