Logan Paul isn’t shying away from a potential blockbuster showdown with Conor McGregor, especially with a reported $250 million payday on the table. The YouTuber-turned-WWE superstar addressed the rumors on his vlog, making it clear that he’s ready to step into the ring if McGregor wants the smoke.
“If Conor McGregor wants to fight, we’re running it. It’s an epic fight. I would step away from WWE for a second to go do (the fight),” Paul said. But there’s a catch—if WWE President Nick Khan matches that $250 million, Logan says he’ll stay right where he is.
Paul didn’t stop there, throwing some shade at McGregor’s contractual situation with the UFC. “I think he’s trying to pressure Dana (White) into making it happen. He’s owned by the UFC. He can’t f*ing sh, let alone fight, without them knowing.”
Logan Paul remains part of WWE’s Raw roster, where he has pledged to be full-time. However, his last match was at SummerSlam when he lost the WWE United States Championship to LA Knight. No official word on when he’ll return to the ring.
McGregor, on the other hand, hasn’t fought since July 2021, when he suffered a brutal leg break against Dustin Poirier. His outside-the-cage controversies continue to pile up, including a civil lawsuit where he was found civilly liable for sexual assault in a case filed by Nikita Hand.
