“We Don’t Talk About That Kind of Stuff”: Dana White on Logan Paul Potentially Competing in UFC

Published 07/17/2022, 10:40 AM EDT

Dana White has had a good professional relationship with Logan Paul, unlike his brother Jake, with whom White has long been feuding and also called him out several times. However, White has praised Logan for being the sensible out of them and even appeared on his podcast Impaulsive.

And now White has come out and revealed the possibility of The Maverick potentially competing in his promotion.

Dana White reveals the possibility of Paul in the UFC

In the post-fight press conference of UFC’s Long Island event, a reporter asked White if he might be interested in the possibility of Logan Paul competing in the UFC.

“I know you spoke to Logan when you were with him on the podcast and you mentioned a little bit like you might be interested in possibly having him potentially doing a UFC fight one day. Was there any more talk.” He asked White who responded by stating that he liked Logan Paul and that he hasn’t fully ruled out the possibility of him in the UFC.”I like Logan Paul, you know but I would never say never that oh I would never do that.” He told the reporter.

However, he also added that it is unlikely to happen, and that it wasn’t the main focus for the UFC president.”I mean every Tuesday I go into match-making and we don’t talk about that kind of stuff.” He added.

While White has not fully dismissed Paul from fighting in the UFC, he has clarified that it would be very unlikely that Paul would ever compete in the promotion.

Although Logan Paul has competed in boxing matches, he still hasn’t even won a single fight and only has one pro bout against fellow Youtuber KSI. Moreover, the track record of other athletes competing in the UFC has not been very good, except for former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar. So it makes sense that White would be hesitant about the Ohio-based boxer competing in the promotion.

Paul, on the other hand, is also currently more focused on his business ventures, Prime Hydration, and 99 Originals. There is no reason for the Maverick to step foot in the Octagon right now. However, Paul has proven that he can pull off the unexpected several times so it won’t be a surprise if he competes in the UFC one day.
