Logan Paul has spent years dipping his toes into every corner of combat sports, boxing KSI, Dillon Danis, and Floyd Mayweather, wrestling in WWE, and even going a few wild rounds with Paulo Costa at the UFC Performance Institute back in 2020. But his latest revelation has added fuel to a feud that’s been simmering since 2022.

While lounging in a pool with Sean O’Malley and brother Jake Paul on Suga’s YouTube channel, ‘The Maverick’ finally revealed the weight class he believes he’d compete in if he ever stepped into MMA for real. And of course, he did it while taking another shot at Paddy Pimblett, a man he hasn’t stopped circling since their rivalry first began!

In the recent clip, Logan Paul didn’t beat around the bush. “I honestly think I’d be so much better at it than boxing just coz like I’m a wrestler first,” he said, floating casually in the pool as if he wasn’t teasing a potential MMA career. O’Malley brought up his scrambles with Paulo Costa, a reference to Logan’s 2020 grappling session with the Brazilian powerhouse, where Costa praised him for having both technique and heart.

Logan laughed as he recalled it. “I hadn’t wrestled since f— high school and he couldn’t take me down. I was like, ‘What the f–?’”. Let’s pause here for a second. Paul’s confidence isn’t just YouTuber bravado.

Before he became ‘The Maverick,’ he was a legitimate high-school standout at Westlake. He qualified for the Ohio state wrestling championships and was even named The Plain Dealer’s All-Star linebacker in 2012. It’s the foundation he always points back to, the reason he believes MMA fits him better than boxing, and the piece of his past he keeps using to argue he’d hold his own against fighters

Then came the big question. O’Malley asked, “What weight would you fight at?” Logan Paul didn’t hesitate as he responded, “Probably 185 bro. There’s some real demons at 205.” His brother, Jake, immediately chimed in, stunned as he stated, “Bro, like you’d be so skinny at 185.”

Logan acknowledged the struggle as he confessed in the YouTube video, “That’s the only thing bro, I don’t have much body fat. So 185 to me is like really hard. I’m 215 right now, 220.” That’s when the conversation veered toward matchmaking, and Logan’s long-running beef with Paddy Pimblett resurfaced. “Yeah, Paddy would be sick. That would be sick. He’d be Fat Paddy,” Logan joked, laughing as O’Malley warned he didn’t want to see him “maul” someone.

This isn’t a new war of words. As mentioned earlier, their feud started in 2022 when Logan Paul suggested he could make his UFC debut against Pimblett. The claim infuriated the Liverpudlian, who fired back with, “He called me a clout-chaser years ago. He’s clout-chasing me all the time, mentioning my name. If he ever wants to fight in UFC, he’s more than welcome. I’ll be there waiting for him, and we’ll fight.”

And as Pimblett’s popularity grows, along with his waistline after each fight, Logan’s jabs about “Fat Paddy” hit right where fans know the jokes usually land. If the UFC ever wants a crossover spectacle with real heat behind it, Logan Paul vs.Paddy Pimblett at 185 might be the circus everyone secretly tunes in for. After all, ‘The Baddy’ also hasn’t let the fire die out!

If Logan Paul thinks the jokes only land one way, he’s mistaken. Because Paddy Pimblett hasn’t let a single spark from this rivalry burn out,  he’s been fanning the flames for years. And now, with a potential lightweight title shot against Ilia Topuria within reach, ‘The Baddy’ is still keeping Logan Paul’s name high on his hit list. Why? Maybe ego. Maybe pride. Or maybe he just wants to settle a score!

In a recent video, the UFC star was asked to rank influencer boxers, and Paul made the list. And not politely, as Pimblett stated, “Number five, he’s a bad mushroom”, a very Liverpudlian way of calling someone rotten. Then came the real venom as he continued, “I wanna punch his head in.”

Pimblett didn’t stop there. He mocked Paul’s size advantage, pointing out the 70-pound gap that separates them between fights, “Lad, he always talks about me in interviews when he’s got about five stone [70lbs] on me. I’ll still snap his leg in half. Yeah, [I’d fight him] and I’d snap his kneecap in half.”

So the real question becomes: is this feud destined to explode inside a cage, or is it just the perfect storm of two loud personalities who can’t resist throwing shots? What do you think? Let us know in the comments below!
