While his sibling Jake Paul is already staged to square off against NBA star Nate Robinson, Logan is also back to relevancy with his social media posts.

Logan Paul challenges everyone for a wrestling match

Although Logan did not take names in the tweet, he threw an open challenge to anyone and everyone. No wonder then, a lot of combat sports sensations have already voiced their opinion over it.

‘The Funky’ Ben Askren did not accept the challenge lightly. The veteran wrestler replied to Logan and offered to pin him in less than a minute.

Now, Askren is clearly one of the best wrestlers in MMA. He was unbeaten and seemed invincible until facing off against Jorge Masvidal at UFC 239.

Masvidal subtly ended Askren’s dominance as he knocked him out within 5 seconds, registering the fastest KO in the promotion. Logan took a nasty dig by pointing at the incident.

In response to Askren, Logan posted a picture of Masvidal knocking him out and wrote, “Chill” to seal the debate.

Well, Askren took it sportingly. The America MMA star stated that “S*** happens”, before asking whether Logan would survive a minute, once again.

Now, Bellator superstar Dillon Danis also jumped into the mix. Since Danis is an A-listed wrestler, he vowed to accept Logan’s challenge.

“I million if you can beat me,” wrote Dillon Danis on Twitter.

However, those social media call-outs would require definite intentions and proper execution to get materialized in real-life. If not, they would remain as mere Twitter banters.

The Paul Brothers and combat sports

Despite being amateurs in the field of combat sports, Logan and Jake Paul have already been two of the biggest names in the field.

Thanks to their social media popularity, whenever the duo step in, huge PPV sales are garnered. Both the brothers have competed in professional boxing contests already.
