Jake Paul pauses Conor McGregor feud as UFC star and YouTuber link up for Donald Trump’s inauguration
JAKE PAUL and Conor McGregor have put their trash talk on hold ahead of a potential grudge match later this year.
The pair were snapped together on Monday ahead of President Donald Trump's inauguration in Washington DC.
Paul was joined by his brother Logan and his mum Pam Stepnick on their way to the ceremony.
The suited-up trio shared a snap with Jake's 4.7million followers on X - and fans were stunned to see McGregor seated behind the two brothers.
Jake captioned the snap: "Inauguration going great."
One fan gasped in response: "I cannot believe what I’m seeing."

Another said: "Never thought I would see a picture like this, with all the beef over the years."
YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul, 28, and MMA star McGregor, 36, have regularly traded online barbs over the past few years.
Reports emerged last month The Notorious had agreed to fight Jake after originally sounding out a bout with Logan, 29.
But Jake called The Notorious out last month for trying to back out of the showdown, describing McGregor as "washed."
FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS
A fight between the pair has been brewing for the best part of four years.
Jake started his pursuit of what could be a mammoth payday with the former UFC champion in late 2020.
He taunted McGregor in a series of online videos, which included sick jibes at the Irishman's fiancee Dee Devlin.
The pair have traded several other jabs over the years, with McGregor blasting Jake's chaotic bout with boxing legend Mike Tyson last year.
McGregor attended Trump's victory rally on Sunday and rubbed shoulders with Reform UK leader Nigel Farage.
Posting on social media, the UFC star wrote: "Honour to be in Washington, D.C., to support @realDonaldTrump the newly elected leader of the free world, and to stand with the 13 families who lost their loved ones at Abbey Gate."
Inside McGregor's Notorious lifestyle
With more sides to his personality than an Octagon, Conor McGregor's rise has been an enthralling watch.
Going from UFC icon to entrepreneur and Hollywood star, the Irishman has transcended the sport he helped bring to the masses.
He has four children with fiancee Dee Devlin and the family enjoy a lavish lifestyle.
McGregor has not fought in UFC since breaking his leg in a trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier in 2021.
That has not stopped him amassing a net worth of over £150m thanks to his Proper No Twelve whiskey and fashion line.
And he is due to return to the Octagon at UFC 303 in an eagerly-awaited headline clash with Michael Chandler.
McGregor also starred alongside Jake Gyllenhaal in the Amazon Prime remake of classic movie Road House, although he is dreading his mum seeing one X-rated scene.
Notorious turned up to the premiere in a £60,000 suit that was outdone by his £460k watch.
The only thing sharper than his fashion sense is his tongue and the Dubliner has several bitter spats under his belt, including with UFC legend Khabib Nurmagomedov.
That row led to one of his biggest controversies in 2018 as he travelled 3,000 miles to confront Khabib in a vicious attack on his bus.
He pleaded guilty to assault after punching a man in a pub in 2018 and had his £150k Bentley seized by police for driving offences four years later.
Joe Rogan lashed out at McGregor in a four-letter outburst and the Irishman has also fired shots at Jake Paul, KSI and Tommy Fury.
Boxing great Floyd Mayweather also has McGregor on his enemy list after the pair clashed in a cross-sport bout in 2017.

Following the decision, The Notorious wrote on X: "I will be appealing today's decision.
"The judge's instruction and the modest award given was for assault, not for aggravated or exemplary damages.
