Two of the Biggest Personalities in the UFC Today Have Voiced Their Opinions on Controversial Youtube Star Logan Paul…
Most of you will now be familiar with the Youtube virus star that is Logan Paul. He’s that annoying, blond-haired, blue-eyed, Aryan idiot who attracted the disgust of most of the world when he callously filmed dead bodies in Japan’s Aokigahara Forest, notorious for the high number of suicides that occur there.
Then he had a ‘boxing match’ with fellow Youtuber KSI in Manchester, UK, which was streamed on Youtube on a pay-per-view basis. It was actually a massive success and the likes of Brendan Schaub openly praised the two young men for their ability to promote the fight.
Now both Joe Rogan and Tyron Woodley have backed Paul to make it count in the UFC. Yes, that’s right, soon his supremely punchable face could be getting split open in the world’s biggest MMA promotion. We say bring it on.
Possible
Joe Rogan fully believes that the UFC could do – and have done – worse than sign Logan Paul. He’s seen literally hundreds of different fighters in his time as a commentator for the promotion and believes that Paul is better right now than CM Punk. That’s really not saying much though…
“You had f**king CM Punk fight! This guy’s way better than him,” Rogan said on his podcast.
Dana White has shut the door on Paul fighting in the UFC. However, Dana White also shut the door on Conor McGregor ever fighting Floyd Mayweather and Ben Askren fighting for the promotion. White might close the door, but he never locks it. At the end of the day, money talks.
Guarantee
UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley fully believes that this is going to happen. However, he also he said that he was going to train Floyd Mayweather for his MMA debut, so his words can’t be taken too seriously. Woodley respects Paul’s background in high school wrestling and believes that he is a natural athlete. He said:
“Mark my words, Logan Paul will fight in the UFC.”
We’ve marked your words T-Wood. We’ve no idea where you’re getting your information from or how you can be so certain, but hey, you’re the UFC champion. Imagine Paul eating one of Woodley’s haymakers. That is a beautiful though isn’t it? (We’re not fans of Logan Paul here, you might have guessed.)
Unlikely
Despite what Rogan and Woodley have said, there’s very little chance that Paul fights for the UFC. Realistically he would be fighting as a middleweight or a welterweight. For all the talk of his apparently good wrestling, can you imagine him against an absolute machine like Yoel Romero? It would never be sanctioned in the US. We’d literally have our first octagon death.
Still, though, money is money and all of these guys love the feel of dollar bills in their hands. Since the Fertitta brothers sold the promotion to WME-IMG you can never rule anything out. It’s currently trying to balance that fine line between sports and entertainment. Just give him to Lord Artem.
