On November 12, the UFC President appeared at the Dana White Power Slap press conference. With this event, White insisted on the promotion of slap fighting. While discussing the rules, he talked about Logan Paul’s involvement.
Notably, ‘The Maverick’ has shown interest in Slap fighting prior. This made the media personnel ask White, “I know Logan has expressed an interest in fighting under your banner. He’s also expressed an interest in competing overseas in tournaments like this. Is there a chance maybe you get Logan Paul involved?”
The UFC Boss did not deny Paul’s involvement in the future. He diplomatically talked about his healthy relationship with the WWE sensation.
He said, “I like Logan uh you know and he and I have a good relationship uh so who knows thank you I wouldn’t say no.”

Logan Paul and the slap fighting
The 27-year-old is fond of this sport. He, along with the bodybuilding legend, Arnold Schwarzenegger, launched the Slap Fighting Championship. The event took place in Paul’s home state of Ohio. Though Paul did not take part as a contestant, he cheered fighters and enjoyed the entire showdown.
Paul had once decided to compete in slap fighting earlier, but it did not work out. During preparation, he dropped a legit slap fighting champion, which created a buzz. But the impact of it resisted Paul from taking part in this sport.
