Seldom does an article finish on the headline, however not way more must be mentioned, as no one desires to see UFC legend Conor McGregor struggle Logan Paul.
Over the previous few 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.Â
Topuria dismissed them as effectively.
As an alternative of constructing his long-awaited return to the UFC, which was most just 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 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 sport severely.
Now don’t get me unsuitable. There’s little question that in a world the place this truly occurs, it could be completely large. Logan has carried out an unbelievable job reviving his profession as a creator and has turn out 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 very least be a smidge extra attention-grabbing, particularly coming off of the heels of the large occasion with Mike Tyson.
Jake confirmed McGregor’s submit, stating that his promotion firm, Most Useful Promotions, could be prepared 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 almost as severely 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 in addition to make everyone wealthy. Which, on the finish of the day, is admittedly what this whole influencer preventing house 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?Â
The Pauls are each effectively 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 a large occasion that was in the end very boring. A struggle with McGregor (who had his personal exhibition with Mayweather in 2017) would seemingly be a lot of the identical.
No person desires to see this. At 36 years previous, McGregor’s probabilities of taking part in significant fights within the UFC are dwindling rapidly.
