Conor McGregor once again finds himself in the crosshairs of YouTube megastar Logan Paul. Speaking to popular UK YouTuber True Geordie, Paul asserted that he and younger brother Jake Paul are both looking to fight McGregor.
During his conversation with Geordie, Paul suggested that heβs confident about his and Jake Paulβs chances of defeating McGregor. Geordie concurred and stated:
βApparently, heβs only got two fights left on his UFC contract. Itβs just too much money for yous not to do that; for him as well.β
He added:

"I do think he would [lose], by the way. Iβm putting this out there right now, and I donβt give a f**k what people think. I think you both beat him. I just donβt think his power translates from 170 [pounds] upwards, and his fitness is clearly a problem. He fades so fast. And I think, especially your gas tank and Jakeβs power, either or, would just be too much for him.β
Watch the discussion regarding possible fights between the Paul brothers and Conor McGregor at the 1:09:30-minute mark in the video below:
The Paul brothers had previously expressed interest in facing McGregor in MMA bouts under the UFC banner. However, the consensus in the combat sports community is that theyβre likelier to face McGregor in the boxing realm than in the sport of MMA.
While Logan Paul holds a 0-1 professional boxing record, Jake Paulβs record stands at 5-0. Neither brother has ever competed in an MMA bout.
Meanwhile, McGregorβs lone pro boxing bout was his iconic βmoney fightβ against boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2017. McGregor lost the fight and sports a 0-1 boxing record. Nevertheless, the Irishman boasts an impressive MMA record of 22 wins and 6 losses.
Conor McGregor hasnβt closed the door on potential fights against "dingbats" Logan Paul and Jake Paul
Speaking to news.com.au last year, former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion Conor McGregor fired back at the Paul brothersβ relentless call-outs. The UFC legend labeled them as "dingbats" but clarified that he wonβt close the door on future fights against them. βThe Notoriousβ said:
"I don't think so. Never say never, if they're going to keep competing and whatnot, who knows? They're dingbats, the two of them."
Jake Paul is scheduled to return to the boxing ring on August 6th, against an opponent whoβs yet to be revealed. Meanwhile, Logan Paulβs next opponent and exact comeback date remains unclear.
Furthermore, Conor McGregor is expected to return from an injury hiatus in February/March 2023 and continue his MMA career in the UFC.
