Logan Paul Texted His ‘Boss’ Asking To Fight Conor McGregor After UFC 329

Logan Paul says he asked his “boss” for a match with Conor McGregor after the latter’s loss and injury at UFC 329. McGregor returned to the UFC for the first time in five years at the July 13th show to face Max Holloway. However, the fight ended after a minute when McGregor hurt his knee on his opening kick.

Paul spoke on the live episode of Impaulsive from Fanatics Fest about McGregor’s loss. He noted that he had immediately texted his boss without naming which boss he meant, asking for a fight in order to capitalize on it. While Paul said “fight,” he also mixed in some WWE references in there so it’s not clear if he meant a match in the ring or an actual fight. Paul noted that said boss said he thinks McGregor is “done.” You can see the highlights below:

On McGregor’s Loss & Injury:

“Something I find so funny is, he definitely has roasted the WWE and WWE Superstars in the past. He put out a tweet dissing Roman Reigns like — no, the Roman Reigns tweet was recently, yeah.

“But like, bro — at the moment, Conor is doing WWE. Because he is incapable of fighting. Which by the way — dude, also appreciate what Conor McGregor did to the sport, UFC, crossover boxing and MMA. He pioneered in a lot of ways. But he has a lot of people fooled. And he fooled everyone before this fight, just like Mike Tyson fooled everyone before he fought my brother. I went, ‘Bro, y’all are — there’s no way, bro.'”

On Wanting to Fight McGregor:

“I don’t think WWE will let me fight anyone. I mean, I’ll be honest, I texted my boss after Conor lost. I was like, ‘Bro, Conor’s cooked. Like, 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. No, he said that he thinks he’s done.”
