Logan Paul could be the first WWE star to cross over to UFC since the merger of the two companies was announced earlier in 2023.
During the latest edition of his Impaulsive podcast, the star discussed the possibility of Twitter owner Elon Musk taking on Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg in an MMA fight. Paul says he has internally pitched being on the undercard for the potential bout. Not only that, but he would do it for free, with his fee going to charity instead.
“I’m curious if Elon Musk and Zuck are fighting because that’s what I’m interested in. I’ll be honest, I pitched it internally.
“I pitched it to the execs that be… If Elon Musk and [Mark] Zuckerberg fight, I will do my UFC debut on the undercard for free. I’ll fight for free for charity.”
When it comes to who he would face, the YouTube star said his first pick of Andrew Tate was a “b***h a**”, so instead named UFC star Paddy Pimblett, aka ‘Paddy the Baddy’, joking he would be able to beat him in the off-season.
“Anyone. You know who I want to fight actually, because that b***h a** Andrew Tate won’t fight me? Give me Paddy Pimblett. Give me Paddy the Baddy.
“In the off-season, that boy looks like a blimp, and he’ll come up to my weight class and I’ll wallop him.”
Ricochet will confront Logan Paul on Raw
Before he gets to any MMA fights, though, Paul will first have to face Ricochet. The pair have clashed in the ring twice so far, first flying into each other at the Royal Rumble, and then at Money In The Bank when Ricochet took Paul crashing through two tables with a Spanish Fly.
On the July 3rd edition of Raw, footage aired of the two brawling backstage, and the former Intercontinental Champion demanded that Paul show up on July 10th.
It’s believed the pair will settle their differences at SummerSlam in Detroit.
