In the aftermath of Paul’s pummeling of Robinson, the 23-year-old social media star has been desperate to secure a bout against Conor McGregor.

But UFC president Dana White has confirmed there is “zero chance’’ of the Irishman fighting the internet sensation anytime soon.

Paul then launched the explosive X-rated rant in a video calling out McGregor while labelling his octagon boss “f***ing bald b**** and a “p***y.”

White has since responded to the comments to TMZ Sports by saying: “I’m thinking of letting Amanda Nunes knock his ass out.”

Brazilian Nunes, 32, has since caught wind of the UFC chief’s offer and revealed she’d be more than game to box Paul.

The Lioness simply tweeted: “I’m in!”

Featherweight and bantamweight Nunes last fought in June when she battered Felicia Spencer.

Paul, meanwhile, is awaiting a response from McGregor after offering him $50 million to fight.

Draped in a Republic of Ireland flag while smoking a cigar, he also insulted McGregor’s partner, Dee Devlin, while calling the Irishman a “c***.”

Notorious, whose lone professional boxing bout was a loss to Floyd Mayweather in 2017, is returning to UFC next month for a clash against Dustin Poirier.
