McGregor says the billionaire Ambani family has offered him a fight with Logan Paul in India, and he has accepted.

Conor McGregor may be headed to India to participate in a boxing match against none other than YouTuber turned WWE star Logan Paul.

McGregor himself is the one making that claim on social media, which has us wondering whether it’s the crazy fight UFC CEO Dana White recently teased we’d ‘never see coming.’

“The rumors of a bout with Topuria are false,” McGregor wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “I am in preliminary agreements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India. I have agreed. I will then seek my return to the Octagon.”

Mukesh Ambani is an Indian billionaire and the 9th richest man in the world. His family is worth over $200 billion, so they definitely have the money to make things happen. They’re cash-splashers too, having recently dropped $600 million on the most expensive wedding in modern history.

As for McGregor, he’s a toxic commodity right now after being found guilty of sexual assault in an Irish civil court earlier this year. The UFC has shown no interest in putting him back in the cage any time soon, so allowing him to make them a big wad of money in an Indian exhibition boxing match sounds like a pretty good deal.

And unlike Jake Paul — who is one of Dana White’s biggest rivals in combat sports — Logan Paul is White’s friend and already works with WWE, who exist with UFC under the TKO corporate umbrella.

On the other hand, Conor McGregor has been flailing wildly trying to force a fight to happen. For the past two years he’s shared dates that have never materialized. Most recently, he claimed he would be fighting in Saudi Arabia for the UFC’s return on February 1st. That card is expected to be headlined by Israel Adesanya.

So is this a serious situation or just another one of Conor’s attempts to force a fight booking into reality? Maybe it’s both — he says he’s agreed to the Ambani family’s offer to fight Paul in India. Now he just needs the UFC and Paul to agree too. Making it public puts more pressure on the other parties to make things happen, especially if the announcement creates waves online.
