Logan Paul recently said that he would want to compete in MMA since he has experience in both boxing and wrestling. Also due to his good relationship with Dana White, he recently said that he would like to compete against Paddy Pimblett inside the Octagon.
Paul stated that he would love to make his UFC debut in the Zuckerberg vs Musk undercard. He even went on to say that he’d compete against Paddy Pimblett free for charity.
Logan Paul said on his podcast: “If Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg fight, I will do my UFC debut on the undercard for free. I’ll fight for free, for charity… [I’ll fight] Anyone. You know [who] I want to fight actually? Because b**ch a*s Andrew Tate won’t fight me, give me Paddy Pimblett! Give me ‘Paddy the Baddy’.”
“In the offseason, that boy looks like a blimp and he’ll come to my weight class and I’ll wallop him. He’s too small when he cuts weight, when he doesn’t cut weight he’s a f**king horseshoe.”
Although Logan Paul is eager to square off against Paddy Pimblett in the UFC, it’s unclear if the organization would be interested in the matchup. But Octagon announcer Bruce Buffer thinks Logan Paul competing in the UFC would be huge. He also really hopes that Paul faces off against Paddy Pimblett.
While talking to The Schmo regarding a matchup between Paul vs Pimblett, he said: “I’d love to see that fight. First off, I’d love to see Logan Paul just walk in no matter who he fights, and I’ll tell you why. When you have an influencer like him that has such a far reach, he will bring eyeballs to the UFC that have not even gone onto the UFC. So, he’s a wrestler, he has a wrestling base, he’s a fantastic athlete.”
“Match him up properly with an opponent. Paddy Pimblett would be a huge fight. Who would not wanna tune in and watch that fight? It’s great ratings, it’s not Musk and Zuckerberg, but it’s pretty darn close. It would really bring a lot of eyeballs. So, if Logan wants to train, go in and be a warrior, and do it, more power to him. Why not?”
There is currently no information on whether Logan Paul will compete in the UFC. However, Bruce Buffer seems to be quite curious to see it.
