Are you ready for Conor McGregor vs. Logan Paul? No? Well, you might be getting it anyways.
Sources close to the situation have confirmed to MMAmania.com that talks are indeed underway to have McGregor â a former two-division UFC champion â fight Paul â PRIME and Lunchly magnate â in India.
McGregor announced the potential fight on X (formerly Twitter), saying he had âagreedâ to the bout, which he claimed was being arranged by the ultra-wealthy Ambani family. That in and of itself wouldnât be much proof â âThe Notoriousâ has been announcing fight dates that havenât materialized for almost two years now as he struggles to pull off, âthe greatest return in sports history.â
But, we now have confirmation that the fight was proposed to UFC executives on Fri., Dec. 13, 2024. UFC CEO, Dana White , teased the bout following UFC Tampa the day after (details here).
âIâve got something in the works right now, itâll drive you fâers crazy,â he declared. âAll you guys will be running around. I got something in the works that you will never fâing see coming for 2025 that literally started to come together last night. Yeah. We we we got some fun stuff coming up.â
How fun you consider McGregor vs. Paul depends on your opinion of sideshow circus fights. And after nearly five years of the Paul brothers in combat sports, we are quite sick of it.
But, you canât argue against demand: Loganâs brother, Jake Paul, was just involved in the biggest fight of the year (if not decade) against Mike Tyson. The only bigger fight possible would be Paul vs. McGregor, according to Jakeâs promoter.
And now UFC is sliding in and grabbing that fight with Logan instead of Jake.
Screwing over Jake Paul is probably a nice side-component to this deal for White, who has battled with the younger Paul brother for years. Heâs good friends with Logan, though. PRIME is one of UFCâs major sponsors, and Logan is a big attention-generator for WWE, which is now owned by UFC parent company, TKO Group Holdings Inc.
Conor VS some fag in India. I canât wait to not give a fuck about this.
Stephen A has the inside line now
Because he still trains and would choke him out in 2 seconds.
