Sharing his reaction to the fight on his YouTube channel, Chael Sonnen revealed that this fight is something that would’ve taken place, if not today, then surely in the future. Why? Well, that’s because Jake Paul is a fighter who does not believe in family hierarchy.

The UFC pundit revealed that while most fighters submit to family hierarchy like legends like Jon Jones would claim to be inferior to their elder brother, the situation isn’t the same for Jake Paul.

He said, “So when I was with these guys, I could just tell this was what Jake was going to do, and it was going to make him different. This is where Jake was going to shine. This is where Jake was going to stand out. This is where Jake was not going to be in a shadow. Jake has never swerved us; this is another area where Jake has been very consistent in saying, I will fight my brother. And in this area, I’m better than my brother. And here we are.

Well, it looks like Chael Sonnen has decoded it all in the video. Logan Paul confirmed the fight on his social media, where he shared what appeared to be the official poster of the boxing match on March 27. In the poster, Logan and Jake Paul can be seen face to face, ready for action. The fight will be broadcast by Max, the current television home of All Elite Wrestling, the rival company of the WWE, where Logan Paul stays as an active superstar on the roster. However, this isn’t the only fight in the making that will excite fans.

After Logan Paul, Conor McGregor asks BKFC to announce a fight against Stephens

After an alleged failure in negotiations to face influencer Logan Paul in boxing and even without a new scheduled commitment in the UFC, where he has not fought since 2021, Conor McGregor seems to have turned his attention to Bare Knuckle FC. In fact, the Irish star, an owner in the bare-knuckle boxing league, had already defined his goal. A few days ago, ‘The Notorious’ made his presence known at the ‘KnuckleMania 5’ edition of BKFC in Philadelphia.

But while his presence was expected, what surprised everyone was the fact that McGregor stepped into the ring to challenge and face former UFC fighter Jeremy Stephens, who had just knocked out Eddie Alvarez at the event. Some fans believed that it was all a stunt to draw some hype, but apparently, the episode wasn’t just a promotional scene. At the post-show press conference, David Feldman, president of Bare Knuckle, revealed that Conor McGregor made a special request to him moments before the manager met with the journalists present.

He revealed, “As I was walking out of the arena, Conor actually tapped me on the shoulder and told me to make sure that I tell everybody that he’s fighting Jeremy Stephens in BKFC. That’s what he said. I don’t know if it’s happening, but Conor McGregor told me he’s fighting Jeremy Stephens in bare-knuckle.” It is worth noting that right before the event, Conor McGregor told the press that it wouldn’t be surprising for them to see him get into the ring for a fight in the promotion. But what do you think? Will the fight be a real thing like the Logan Paul vs. Jake Paul fight? Let us know in the comments.
