Logan Paul openly called out the rising UFC phenomenon Paddy Pimblett a few months back. Interestingly, the lightweight contender accepted the challenge and went two steps further to make it happen. However, up till now, the duo is not able to materialize this battle.

The social media star, Paul, recently joined fellow YouTuber, The True Geordie, and had a conservation regarding his combat sports career. Talking to Geordie, Paul admitted the fact that he had a very poor record in the sports.

First, he claimed he had a lot of wins. Later, when Geordie reminded him about his combat sports record, then ‘The Maverick’ admitted the fact and said, “I guess you are right. I don’t have a single win.”

Notably, the Ohio-based YouTube sensation Paul is eager to step back inside the ring after a long layoff. The last he fought was in June 2021 against the former five-weight division champ Floyd Mayweather in a highly anticipated exhibition bout.

The ongoing exchange between Logan Paul and Paddy Pimblett

Like his younger brother Jake Paul, the 26-year-old is also putting efforts to make it to the UFC. He has been to WWE recently as a professional wrestler and delivered an impressive showdown. As of now, his eyes are on debuting in the UFC. Earlier in April, Paul expressed that he wanted to get inside the octagon to face the star British warrior Paddy Pimblett, who is often regarded as the next ‘Conor Mcgregor’.

When Pimblett asked about Paul’s challenge, he accepted and added more to the picture.

He said, “He knows who the boy is, doesn’t he? He knows who will put bums on seats, lad. I can’t see him mentioning anyone else. I know he’s a lot bigger than me, but I don’t think it really matters, to be honest.”

Furthermore, he added, “I think I’d submit him quite easily and quite quickly, but you never know, anything can happen in a fight. If Logan Paul ever does want the fight, lad, I’m open to hearing what numbers he’s coming at us with.” 

Pimblett certainly isn’t one to shy away from a challenge. As such, he seemed more than ready to take on a man bigger than him. The octagon will be a challenge unlike anything Paul has faced before, and to go up against an athlete of Pimblett’s calibre will definitely be an eye opener.

Let’s see what happens between the pair.
