has praised Jake and Logan Paul’s mother, Pam Stepnick, after they shared a journey to ‘s inauguration.
The fighting world was taken aback when Jake Paul posted an image online with McGregor and his elder brother Logan. Despite their ongoing feud, the trio seemed to be quite cordial and respectful towards each other, indicating that they had temporarily set aside their differences. Joining the Paul brothers at the pre-inauguration festivities was their mother.
While the brothers were seated next to each other on the bus trip to Washington DC, there was no space for Stepnick – who sat a row behind them along with McGregor. However, she appeared to be in high spirits, and ‘The Notorious’ has now finally given his opinion on the 61 year old. In a story posted to his official page, McGregor shared a selfie with Stepnick and captioned the photo: “Lovely lady Pam.”
The pair seemed to enjoy each other’s company and the caption was accompanied by a heart emoji. McGregor – a former two-division UFC champion – flew out to America from Dublin last weekend with his long-time coach John Kavanagh. On Sunday, the 36 year old was seen smiling and shaking hands with Reform UK leader . However, following the picture, ‘The Notorious’ has faced a lot of criticism online.
The online community has unleashed a torrent of criticism directed at McGregor and the Paul brothers, with users on social media not holding back their opinions. One user exclaimed, “Well, tell your ‘brother’ to stop acting like a stereotypical politician and start acting like himself again.” Another chimed in with, “You were an absolute joke. Now you’re worse. You seem to get worse and worse.”
A third held nothing back: “Ewww. @Nigel_Farage what are you f*****g doing, for f**** sake? ” While another expressed disappointment, saying, “Just, when you thought Conor couldn’t go lower.” With feelings running high, one more described them as “What a pair of horrible w******.” and another simply advised, “Hang your head in shame.”
Speculation over whether McGregor will revive his altercation with the Paul brothers keeps the boxing world on its toes, particularly after revealing potential fight discussions. On X – formerly known as Twitter – McGregor addressed rumours by declaring, “The rumours of a bout with Topuria are false. I am in preliminary agreements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India. I have agreed. I will then seek my return to the Octagon.”
If McGregor does enter the ring with Logan, they’re each slated to bag a cool $250million from the encounter. Despite Logan’s recent focus on WWE — having declared his devotion to wrestling — it seems he is still eager for the match, even approaching UFC and WWE honcho Ari Emanuel to get the green light to fight ‘The Notorious’.
