Logan Paul Fuels Conor McGregor Boxing Speculation in Bold WWE Championship Speech

Logan Paul fueled speculation that he’s on a collision course with UFC star Conor McGregor.

Earlier this week, the Irish megastar sent fight fans into a frenzy after revealing that he would continue to delay his long-awaited return to the Octagon in favor of an exhibition boxing bout with Paul in India.

“The rumors of a bout with [Ilia Topuria] are false,” McGregor wrote in a post on X on Tuesday. “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.

While many wrote off McGregor’s comments as just another troll job by the former champ-champ, Paul added some fuel to the fire during his appearance at the WWE’s RAW on Netflix kickoff event.

Paul used the classic Conor McGregor line, “I’m not here to take part. I’m here to take over” during the announcement that he would be a regular on the WWE’s flagship show once the program moves from cable TV to the streaming giant on January 6.

“Your approval means nothing to me,” he continued. “You are looking at the future WWE world champion and his name is Logan Paul.”

Could Conor McGregor vs. Logan Paul really happen?

Considering McGregor’s claim that the two would be fighting in 2025, Paul’s recycling of McGregor quotes from the past certainly came at a curious time, leading many to believe that there could be some truth to the Irishman’s statement.

It’s been well over three years since McGregor has stepped foot inside the Octagon. Despite the lengthy layoff, ‘Mystic Mac’ has continued to dominate headlines, usually for all the wrong reasons.

UFC vs WWE: Conor McGregor Challenges Logan Paul to a Cross-Combat Showdown

Conor McGregor has once again turned the spotlight on himself, this time calling out Logan Paul for a potential WWE clash. The UFC star wants Logan Paul in both boxing and WWE.

In a fiery tweet on X, the Irish MMA superstar wrote: “TKO Group! UFC vs WWE. There is levels to this, a big sloppy novice is going to find out! TKO KING TITLE ? #BiggestGenerator #KingofNumbers #Streams #PPV I hold every record and I am coming back to KO this novice and rack in more numbers for the company. #StockMarketIndia #MyHighestPayPacketYet #Thanksforthecheese”

Conor McGregor Calls Out Logan Paul for WWE Showdown Amid Boxing Match Rumors

This comes on the heels of McGregor’s earlier announcement of a rumored boxing exhibition against Logan Paul in India, where he hinted at collaborating with the Ambani family. While no official confirmation has surfaced for either the boxing or WWE match, McGregor’s tweet has ignited conversations about a potential crossover bout that blends MMA, boxing, and professional wrestling.

Conor McGregor is widely regarded as one of MMA’s biggest stars has never shied away from expanding his horizons. The former double-champ is a record-breaking pay-per-view generator, having shared the ring with Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2017 in one of the highest-grossing boxing matches of all time. Now, it seems McGregor’s ambitions are aimed at conquering WWE, a ring where Logan Paul has made waves since transitioning from YouTube stardom.

Logan Paul has become a polarizing figure in combat sports, blending athleticism with entertainment. After an exhibition boxing match with Mayweather and a stint in influencer boxing, Paul shifted his focus to WWE, where he captured the United States Championship in 2023 by defeating Rey Mysterio. Paul’s performances have drawn widespread praise, especially given his relatively short tenure in wrestling.

UFC vs. WWE

The potential match between Conor McGregor and Logan Paul would be a bridge between UFC and WWE under their new parent company, TKO Group Holdings. The merger in 2023 brought together two of the biggest brands in combat sports and entertainment, opening the door to high-profile crossovers.

McGregor’s tweet teases his return to the spotlight, whether inside the ring or the Octagon. As he continues to leverage his star power and showmanship, fans are left wondering: Will McGregor step into WWE’s squared circle to face Logan Paul, or will they settle their rivalry in the boxing ring first?

8-0 MMA Prospect To Make Pro Wrestling Debut Against Former WWE Star Matt Riddle

With an undefeated record of 8-0, flyweight talent Phumi Nkuta is someone that fight fans have had their eyes on for some time. The CFFC and Peak Fighting champion is a name that has been tipped for big things but it looks like his MMA career is being put on hold. If there’s one thing […]

With an undefeated record of 8-0, flyweight talent Phumi Nkuta is someone that fight fans have had their eyes on for some time. The CFFC and Peak Fighting champion is a name that has been tipped for big things but it looks like his MMA career is being put on hold.

If there’s one thing that has held Nkuta back in his MMA career, it’s his activity after he had nearly two years out from 2021-2023 due to an injury. Now, he’s looking to progress in a new field by making his professional wrestling debut as House Of Glory’s upcoming event in New York.

On December 20, HOG “Live For The Moment” will take place at the NYC Arena with a card that boasts the HOG return of one of the most iconic teams in all of wrestling, The Hardy Boyz. Nkuta will also feature on the card against a name and face that will be familiar to both wrestling and MMA fans.

Matt Riddle came into the UFC via the seventh season of The Ultimate Fighter and would go on to fight inside the Octagon 12 times before being released from the promotion in 2013. Aside from one comeback fight earlier this year in Titan FC, Riddle then left MMA behind to pursue pro wrestling where he would go on to become a major star in the WWE.

Following several suspensions and controversies, he left the WWE in 2023 and has been working for several other promotions on the independent circuit ever since. He recently made his debut for TNA at their “Turning Point” event on November 29. Now, it will be him that is welcoming an MMA fighter through the ropes on December 20.

Logan Paul Faces Allegations of Crypto Misconduct Amid Ongoing Legal Battles

Despite already facing a multi-million dollar lawsuit, Logan Paul is facing some new questions regarding his sketchy history with cryptocurrency and whether or not he misled his fans to rake in profits.

Paul is currently in the midst of a lawsuit over a failed crypto project called CryptoZoo. However, according to a report from the BBC, new evidence suggests that the YouTube star promoted multiple investments without revealing he had a financial interest in them. Per the report, the BBC claims to have uncovered that shortly before Paul tweeted about a particular crypto coin in 2021, an anonymous crypto wallet with close connections to his public wallet had traded in the coin.

That anonymous wallet went on to make $120,000.

In 2021, Paul also promoted a series of extremely high-risk crypto tokens called meme coins — tokens that are typically inspired by internet jokes or memes and are supported by online communities.

Recently, the BBC attempted to interview Paul and get his side of the story as part of a documentary titled ‘Logan Paul: Bad Influence?’ by filmmaker Matt Shea.

After refusing to share his side of the story for the last several months, Paul finally gave the BBC the go-ahead to fly out to Puerto Rico for a sit-down interview. When the crew arrived, they were met by a Logan Paul lookalike who turned up in the WWE Superstar’s place. Shortly after, a crowd shouting abuse about the BBC arrived, including a man with a megaphone who led chants of “BBC is vile. They hire pedophiles.”

The BBC also received a letter from Paul’s lawyers advising them that publishing their findings could bring about potential consequences for the British Broadcasting Corporation.

“Rather than defend himself about the allegations we’ve been investigating, Logan decided to troll us,” Shea says in a recently released clip from the documentary.

Logan Paul’s cryptocurrency woes are far from over

In 2021, Paul announced CryptoZoo — a cryptocurrency made up of eggs they could purchase in a digital game. Players were then supposed to be able to hatch those eggs, raising animals that would act as NFTs, or non-fungible tokens. Those animals could be bred to create hybrid creatures, offering holders an opportunity to sell off their more unique animals for crypto.

Paul made big promises and hyped it on his various social media channels. As it turns out, the game didn’t even exist.

“Defendants promoted CryptoZoo’s products using Mr. Paul’s online platforms to consumers unfamiliar with digital currency products, leading to tens of thousands of people purchasing said products,” a class-action lawsuit filing from February 2023 read. “Unbeknownst to the customers, the game did not work or never existed, and the Defendants manipulated the digital currency market for Zoo Tokens to their advantage.”

After finishing the sale of all the CryptoZoo NFTs, the defendants and others “transferred millions of dollars’ worth of purchasers’ cryptocurrency to, among other places, wallets controlled by Defendants,” according to the filing (h/t Variety).

From Octagon to the Squared Circle? Tom Aspinall Considers Post-UFC WWE Career: "It’s a buzz."

Paddy Pimblett might not be the only UFC fighter attempting to kickstart a career in the WWE.

Earlier this week, ‘The Baddy’ revealed that he had dreams of one day testing his mettle in the world of sports entertainment in hopes of one day becoming the next ‘Heartbreak Kid’ Shawn Michaels. Now, it sounds like the Liverpudlian will have some company as current interim UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall also likes the idea of jumping into the WWE ring once his MMA career is over.

Tom Aspinall

“Absolutely, mate. That’s what I want to do in my post-fighting career,” Aspinall said in a recent interview. “I’ve got my show on TNT Sports now, so I like the punditry side as well. I’m very passionate about MMA, it’s been my life for as long as I can remember. I like to think that I know more about MMA than most and I can offer some kind of knowledge and breakdown to people who don’t understand MMA as well as I do. I think I’ve definitely got that to offer and I think I do that well, it’s something I enjoy and something that I want to continue to do.

“But WWE is something new and exciting for me as well. I really enjoyed it, it’s a buzz. It’s another way to get out there in front of an audience and do something not quite as dangerous, but still get the thrill. I don’t know, I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it. I’ve still got a lot that I want to do in my MMA career. I’m not saying that I want to hang up the gloves just yet, but I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t enjoy it. I enjoyed the whole thing” (h/t MMA News).

WWE and UFC have seen its fair share of crossover talent in recent years

Last year, the UFC’s parent company purchased World Wrestling Entertainment in a blockbuster deal that saw the two entities merged under the TKO Group Holdings banner. Thus far, there have been few crossover appearances between the two organization’s stars, but speculation continues to run rampant that before long, we’ll see UFC stars step on the WWE stage and vice versa.

The WWE has already seen its fair share of UFC fighters jump into the world of pro wrestling. Brock Lesnar, Ronda Rousey, Cain Velasquez, and Matt Riddle are just a few former fighters who became industry stars under the WWE banner.

We’ve also seen a few WWE Superstars test out their skills in four-ounce gloves. CM Punk fought twice inside the Octagon while Dave Bautista and Jake Hager, also known as Jack Swagger, briefly fought in mixed martial arts after wrapping up their WWE careers.

Interim UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall has said in the past that he doesn’t intend on sticking around in the sport to achieve a long-lasting run and legacy. The Brit wants to make as much money possible in the fastest time before leaving with his health.

This means that he’s going to need something to occupy his time once his fighting days are over and though he’s in no rush to walk away right now, an opportunity did recently arise. At the WWE’s recent live tour of the UK, one half of TKO Group Holdings collided with the other.

Aspinall was brought into the ring in Manchester, in the same venue where he stopped Curtis Blaydes in July, to step through the ropes and stand side-by-side with WWE champions Cody Rhodes and Gunther.

In a recent interview with SafestCasinoSites, Aspinall reflected on the experience and whether stepping inside a WWE ring would be something that appeals to him once he’s finishing with his fighting career.

The champion started by talking about other areas that he would like to explore once he retires, including punditry and analyst work which he currently does for TNT Sports in the UK. However, pro wrestling helps to give him the same adrenaline rush that competing inside the Octagon satisfies.

“Absolutely, mate. That’s what I want to do in my post-fighting career. I’ve got my show on TNT Sports now, so I like the punditry side as well. I’m very passionate about MMA, it’s been my life for as long as I can remember. I like to think that I know more about MMA than most and I can offer some kind of knowledge and breakdown to people who don’t understand MMA as well as I do.
