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.
Shit happens, you think you can last 1 minute or no? https://t.co/Lvsr0mmmYb

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.
1 millon if you can beat me. https://t.co/ECRUAcTqki

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.
