Seldom does an article finish on the headline, however not far more must be mentioned, as no one needs to see UFC legend Conor McGregor struggle Logan Paul.
Over the previous few days, rumors have unfold that McGregor can be making his return to the UFC to struggle Featherweight Champion Illia Topuria. Early Tuesday morning, McGregor dismissed these rumors.Â
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, 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 turning into more and more clear that McGregor has little or no curiosity in making an precise return to the Octagon.Â
Calling out Logan Paul simply furthers this intestine feeling that McGregor is finished taking the struggle recreation significantly.
Now don’t get me fallacious. There’s little doubt that in a world the place this really occurs, it could be completely large. Logan has completed an unbelievable job reviving his profession as a creator and has change into 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 attention-grabbing, particularly coming off of the heels of the large occasion with Mike Tyson.
Jake confirmed McGregor’s put up, stating that his promotion firm, Most Beneficial Promotions, can be keen to discover a collaboration with McGregor so long as the UFC was straight concerned or would log off on it.
Logan’s final boxing match was an absolute clown present towards Dillon Danis, who clearly didn’t take the struggle practically as significantly as he took the promotion. The elder Paul then retired from boxing and determined to noticeably pursue the WWE, which he has been superb at.
A boxing match, or MMA match, with McGregor does little or no for anyone moreover make everyone wealthy. Which, on the finish of the day, is basically what this whole influencer combating house is all about.
Once more, there’s no denying that McGregor’s superstar paired with both Paul brother would get large eyeballs. However what’s the purpose?Â
The Pauls are each properly over six toes tall. McGregor is simply 5 toes 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 possible be a lot of the identical.
No person needs to see this. At 36 years outdated, McGregor’s probabilities of taking part in significant fights within the UFC are dwindling rapidly.
