JAKE PAUL snapped back at Conor McGregor with a trollsome social media video after the UFC superstar branded him a 'jackass'.

The YouTuber turned boxer incurred the wrath of McGregor by claiming he had no 'head movement' after seeing a video of the MMA mogul hitting a heavy pad.

But Paul has hit back with a video of himself imitating the Irishman's insult, in which he wrestled in the sand, performed a bear crawl and did some clapping incline push-ups in the rain before teeing off on the golf course.

His accompanying caption read: "While I’m training MMA, the @TheNotoriousMMA is drinking Jack Daniels in Dubai putting up sloppy boxing videos. Jackass."

Problem Child Paul has been chasing a blockbuster showdown with McGregor for the last 15 months – regularly taunting the UFC's poster boy on social media.

And he's sent yet another plea to fight the Irishman to UFC president Dana White on Twitter.

On Saturday, the former Disney star wrote: "Dana – Since you like me now, how about a 1 fight UFC deal to fight Conor.

"If I win, you agree to my UFC fighter pay and healthcare proposal.

"If I lose I donate my entire purse to all UFC fighters who make less than $50K a fight and never mention UFC again Deal?"

Paul, 25, scored a viral sixth-round KO victory over ex-UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley in their rematch last December.

And the multi-millionaire is confident he'd do a number on the out-of-form Notorious, saying: "I would KO Conor in boxing or MMA. "Right hand of God."

Paul hasn't set foot inside the ring since his demolition of Woodley but is seemingly eyeing a September return.

McGregor, meanwhile, is in the final stages of recovering from the horrific broken leg he suffered last July but is eyeing a summer return.

He recently told SecondsOut: "I would like [to return at] International Fight Week. But we'll see, though. I've got to take it day by day.

"April they said I'd be back sparring, back twisting and turning.

"I was told I could box a couple of months back and then all of sudden, I couldn't box.

"So I'm just taking it day by day, there's no rush. I'm in a great place mentally.
