The WWE Universal championship challenger Logan Paul has often talked about making transition to the MMA world. Since turning professional boxer, the social media star has explored several other professions. He did not want to restrict himself. He signed a contract with the company earlier this year. Now, he is going to make a comeback in boxing with the possibility of stepping inside the octagon later.

He is already a subject to the ongoing beef with the English Mixed Martial Artist Paddy Pimblet. Before this he called out the UFC megastar Conor McGregor. Interestingly, Paul is not only one calling out UFC fighters. There are several fighters in the UFC like Khamzat Chimaev who called him out.

With so many storylines behind, Paul becomes an interesting subject to talk in podcasts. Recently when he sat down with Bobby Lee & Khalyla in TigerBelly podcast, Khalyla asked him what would happen if he goes head-to-head with UFC fighters like Nate Diaz, Israel Adesanya, and Francis Ngannou.

The 26-year-old has never been to the MMA fights. However, he had some boxing experience but that did not add much to his resume. In such situation, Paul choose the more safer side. He honestly accepted that these fighters would tear him apart. However he claimed he would defeat them in a boxing match.

“Nate Diaz, honestly, he will killed me. In a backyard brawl with no gloves on yeah he’s just a f**king dog boxing match I would win sanctioned boxing match in the ring with gloves, I would win a backyard bro that’s there’s no f**king idea”,

Paul continued, “Israel Adesanya would f**king kill me…..Francis Ngannou would turn me into a paper bag.”

When will Paul return to the boxing ring?

The Maverick was all set to make his comeback in January. He was most likely to feature on KSI’s fight card. Unfortunately, he suffered an injury. In his WWE title fight, he wounded his knee ligament. His fans would certainly be dissapointed with that.
