REPORT | UFC involved with Conor McGregor vs. Logan Paul talks, fight targeted for April

According to a recent report, the UFC is on board with booking Conor McGregor vs. Logan Paul.

‘The Notorious’ hasn’t been seen in action for almost four years now. The Irish superstar famously broke his leg in his trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier in 2021 but promised a return to the cage by the end of 2022. Sadly, that return never came. Instead, Conor McGregor has found himself involved in controversy, after controversy, while he’s sat on the sidelines.

However, after being found liable for sexually assaulting Nikita Hand in November, he promised a prompt return to combat sports. Not long afterward, Conor McGregor announced plans to face Logan Paul in a boxing match in 2025. ‘The Maverick’, as well as Jake Paul, have called for the opportunity to box the former UFC champion for years.

Naturally, many fans batted away Conor McGregor’s comments. In the last four years, ‘The Notorious’ has called out many, many, many fighters. The one fight he officially agreed to, against Michael Chandler, he pulled out. While many cast doubt on McGregor actually facing Logan Paul, it seems that talks between the two sides are authentic.
