Logan Paul replies to Dana White’s comments that he would “get murdered” if he ever fought in the UFC.
YouTube personality Logan Paul has fired back at Dana White’s claims that he would “get murdered” if he ever fought in the UFC.
Paul, who has a following of over 18-million people on his YouTube channel, is an internet personality who fought fellow social media star KSI in a white-collar boxing match last month. The 23-year-old has gained attention for his controversial videos, specifically one in which he filmed a corpse in Japan’s “suicide forest.”
After his boxing match against KSI, Paul hinted on social media about the possibility of fighting in the UFC. Speaking to the media after the UFC 229 press conference on Friday, Dana White said Paul would “get murdered” if he fought in the UFC, and the UFC president “should be arrested” if he ever let Paul step foot in the octagon.
The social media star, who has a successful background in high school wrestling, responded to White’s comments on Twitter.

“he would get hurt badly”

Paul took offence to White’s comments, pointing out the UFC president let CM Punk, a former professional wrestler signed to WWE who had no previous martial arts experience, fight in the UFC. Punk has gone 0-2 since signing a UFC contract in December 2014.
Despite White being adamant on not letting Paul fight in the UFC, the YouTube megastar has made his intentions clear, he wants to fight in the octagon.
