Paul believes
Ultimate Fighting Championship star Conor
McGregor’s recent injury could pave the way for a clash between
the two, as he now considers the Irishman “incapable of
fighting.”
McGregor returned to action following a five-year hiatus at
UFC 329, headlining opposite former featherweight champion
Max
Holloway. However, their rematch only lasted 69 seconds after
McGregor suffered a knee injury throwing his first kick.

With McGregor far removed from his fighting prime, Paul wants to
take him on.
Logan Paul wants WWE to capitalize on Conor McGregor’s fighting
future
During a recent episode of the „Impaulsive“ podcast, Paul discussed
the irony of McGregor’s slump after the Irish superstar previously
took shots at professional wrestling and its biggest stars.
“Something I find so funny, he definitely has roasted the WWE and WWE superstars in
the past,” Paul said. “He put out a tweet dissing Roman Reigns;
the Roman Reigns tweet was recently. At the moment, Conor is doing
WWE. He is incapable of fighting.”
Paul then claimed that he immediately contacted WWE management
after McGregor’s defeat, pitching the idea of a future clash
between the two high-profile personalities.
“I don’t think WWE will let me fight anyone,” Paul added. “I’ll be
honest, I texted my boss after Conor lost. I was like, ‘Bro, Conor
is cooked, do something with it. Make a bag, let me fight him. Big
WWE star versus big WWE star, cause that’s what he is now.’ He said
that he thinks he’s done.”
McGregor has one fight remaining on his current UFC contract and
has reiterated that he intends to return following knee surgery to
fight out his contract.
