Seldom does an article finish on the headline, however not rather more must be mentioned, as no one desires to see UFC legend Conor McGregor struggle Logan Paul.
Over the previous couple of days, rumors have unfold that McGregor could be making his return to the UFC to struggle Featherweight Champion Illia Topuria. Early Tuesday morning, McGregor dismissed these rumors.
Topuria dismissed them as properly.
As a substitute of creating his long-awaited return to the UFC, which was most lately nixed after his June twenty ninth struggle with Michael Chandler fell by means of, McGregor is now calling out Logan Paul.
Regardless of UFC boss Dana White persevering with to hype up one thing large on the horizon in 2025, it’s changing into more and more clear that McGregor has little or no curiosity in making an precise return to the Octagon.
Calling out Logan Paul simply furthers this intestine feeling that McGregor is completed taking the struggle recreation critically.
Now don’t get me incorrect. There’s little doubt that in a world the place this truly occurs, it could be completely large. Logan has executed an unbelievable job reviving his profession as a creator and has grow to be one of many WWE’s brightest stars.
However right here’s the factor. He’s not a fighter. If something, a struggle between Jake Paul and McGregor would at the least be a smidge extra fascinating, particularly coming off of the heels of the huge occasion with Mike Tyson.
Jake confirmed McGregor’s submit, stating that his promotion firm, Most Precious Promotions, could be prepared to discover a collaboration with McGregor so long as the UFC was immediately concerned or would log out on it.
Logan’s final boxing match was an absolute clown present in opposition to Dillon Danis, who clearly didn’t take the struggle practically as critically as he took the promotion. The elder Paul then retired from boxing and determined to significantly pursue the WWE, which he has been superb at.
A boxing match, or MMA match, with McGregor does little or no for anyone apart from make everyone wealthy. Which, on the finish of the day, is absolutely what this complete influencer combating area is all about.
Once more, there’s no denying that McGregor’s movie star paired with both Paul brother would get large eyeballs. However what’s the purpose?
The Pauls are each properly over six ft tall. McGregor is simply 5 ft 9 inches. The Pauls each weigh over 200 kilos. McGregor was UFC Champion within the featherweight and light-weight divisions.
Logan did an exhibition boxing match with Floyd Mayweather in 2021. It was an enormous occasion that was in the end very boring. A struggle with McGregor (who had his personal exhibition with Mayweather in 2017) would probably be a lot of the identical.
No one desires to see this. At 36 years previous, McGregor’s possibilities of collaborating in significant fights within the UFC are dwindling rapidly.
