While chatting with paparazzi after a physical therapy session, the Irishman was asked by a reporter for his thoughts on the fight.
His answer was short but brilliant.
The person behind the camera asked, “What do you think of Jake Paul? The box mat “
But before he could finish his sentence, McGregor interrupted him.
Shaking his head and looking into the distance, the UFC megastar replied: “I don’t really care.”
Clearly distracted by something behind the paparazzi, he then changed the subject completely and pointed.
“Is that Arnold’s car there, right ?! Wow, ”he said excitedly.
After looking very unimpressed talking about Jake Paul, McGregor’s face immediately brightened when he glanced at Arnold Schwarzenegger’s fancy car.
Limping on his crutches, he then sauntered over to take a closer look at the classic hooded car parked in front of the rehabilitation center.
It turns out that legendary bodybuilder and Hollywood movie star Schwarzenegger’s partner, Heather, is McGregor’s physical therapist, who is helping the Irishman recover from his devastating broken leg, so Arnie often comes over to give his old friend extra support .
McGregor, who is still on a long road to recovery, seemed pretty positive with his progress.
“Today was a good day for me,” added McGregor.
“I carried weight for the first time today since surgery. I ran the treadmill and carried 50 percent of my body weight, so I’m very happy with it.”
Trash-talking YouTuber Paul has spoken openly about wanting to fight McGregor, be it in a ring or a steel cage.
But the former UFC champion doesn’t blink an eyelid when it comes to the Disney kid, and even caused wild confusion over the weekend by tweeting the word “saliva” moments after Paul’s fight with Woodley.
It turned out that McGregor was not referring to Paul at all, but was actually anticipating a delicious pasta dish he was about to dive into.
Thinking it was about him, a very confused Paul got the wrong end of the stick and immediately shot back at McGregor in his press conference after the fight.
“We’re on our way to much bigger fights, I’m also saving because I’m just warming up,” he told reporters.
“Conor McGregor has a lot more to focus on than me right now.
“I’ve got five straight wins and he’s 1-3 in the last four years fucking gym.”
With all the hype surrounding Jake Paul, McGregor is clearly more interested in testing beautiful sports cars – and, of course, repairing his leg.
