Logan Paul has become a big pop-culture icon with his YouTube vlogs, podcasts, boxing, and pro-wrestling ventures. Famous UFC announcer Bruce Buffer believes that Paul can become a massive success in UFC, similar to Conor McGregor.

Logan Paul has been performing exceptionally well in WWE since 2021. The leader of the ‘Logang’ surprised many people in the industry with his charisma and athleticism. Paul‘s drink company PRIME has also become a success. It was recently announced that PRIME became UFC’s official sports drink.

The 27-year-old shared a video on Instagram teasing a debut in the UFC. He was seen asking Dana White to fight Paddy Pimblett. However, the major announcement regarding this video was about the PRIME and UFC partnership. But legendary UFC announcer Bruce Buffer believes that Logan Paul can become a major success story inside the octagon.

Buffer further added, “He is an amazing athlete, as he is proving with his WWE performances he is doing.”

The legendary announcer believes that Logan Paul can draw Conor McGregor-like viewers. Buffer also mentioned that his teenage fans will love to see him inside the octagon. He said, “Logan Paul, when and if he ever walks in the Octagon it would be huge. It will be Conor McGregor numbers. A lot of his following is young teenagers, but they watch the UFC anyway they would love to see Logan in there.”

However, talking further on the subject, the 65-year-old also pointed out that Paul‘s background in wrestling isn’t enough to be on the top of UFC. “As far as a fighter, his base is wrestling, which is the strongest base in mixed martial arts to come from,” said Buffer.

Bruce Buffer also commended Logan Paul for his physique and believes that he is capable of putting up a good fight. He said, “He is very strong, athletic and still a young man.”

Buffer continued, “He is very capable of having a fight with a good mixed martial artist, not a top 10 fighter.” 

Logan Paul is a multi-pro athlete. He has spoken before about fighting in the UFC. His brother, Jake Paul, has already signed with the PFL.
