Logan Paul believes Ultimate Fighting Championship star Conor McGregor's recent injury could pave the way for a clash between the two, as he now considers the Irishman “incapable of fighting.”
McGregor returned to action following a five-year hiatus at UFC 329, headlining opposite former featherweight champion Max Holloway. However, their rematch only lasted 69 seconds after McGregor suffered a knee injury throwing his first kick.
With McGregor far removed from his fighting prime, Paul wants to take him on.
Logan Paul wants WWE to capitalize on Conor McGregor's fighting future
During a recent episode of the "Impaulsive" podcast, Paul discussed the irony of McGregor’s slump after the Irish superstar previously took shots at professional wrestling and its biggest stars.
“Something I find so funny, he definitely has roasted the WWE and WWE superstars in the past,” Paul said. “He put out a tweet dissing Roman Reigns; the Roman Reigns tweet was recently. At the moment, Conor is doing WWE. He is incapable of fighting.”
Paul then claimed that he immediately contacted WWE management after McGregor’s defeat, pitching the idea of a future clash between the two high-profile personalities.
“I don’t think WWE will let me fight anyone,” Paul added. “I’ll be honest, I texted my boss after Conor lost. I was like, ‘Bro, Conor is cooked, do something with it. Make a bag, let me fight him. Big WWE star versus big WWE star, cause that’s what he is now.’ He said that he thinks he’s done.”
McGregor has one fight remaining on his current UFC contract and has reiterated that he intends to return following knee surgery to fight out his contract.
