Logan revealed that he has been engaged in discussions with UFC executives regarding the possibility of participating in the undercard of the Elon Musk vs. Mark Zuckerberg matchup during a recent episode of Logan Paul's podcast, IMPULSIVE on July 4, 2023,. Paul stated, "I'm willing to fight for free on the undercard of Elon Musk vs. Mark Zuckerberg. I'm not asking for any money. I just want to make my UFC debut and put on a show for the fans."
Logan Paul acknowledges that he lacks experience in the realm of MMA. However, Paul has been honing his skills by training alongside renowned MMA fighters such as Jorge Masvidal and Tyron Woodley. These training sessions have equipped him with valuable insights into the world of MMA, bolstering his confidence and encouraging him to take on new challenges.
In response to Paul's offer, Paddy Pimblett who is a rising star in the UFC lightweight division has expressed his willingness to face the social media influencer-turned-boxer in the Octagon. Pimblett is known for his aggressive fighting style, has accumulated an impressive 20-3 record throughout his MMA career, and currently holds the No. 12 spot in the UFC lightweight rankings. He boldly declared, "I'm down to fight Logan Paul. I'll knock him out in the first round."
Paul's proposition to make his UFC debut on the Elon Musk vs. Mark Zuckerberg card has undoubtedly captured public attention, but the feasibility of these matchups remains uncertain. Fans and MMA enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting further developments to determine whether Paul's offer will come to fruition.
Paul expressed his enthusiasm for the fight, stating, "I'm down to fight Paddy Pimblett. I think it would be a great fight. He's a rising star in the UFC, and I think it would be a lot of fun." Pimblett, on the other hand, remains confident in his abilities, retorting, "We'll see about that. I'm the real deal in MMA, and I think I would put Logan Paul to sleep."
The combat sports world eagerly awaits potential announcements regarding the matchups. Whether Logan Paul will step into the UFC Octagon on the same card as Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, and if Paddy Pimblett will indeed be his opponent, is yet to be determined. Nevertheless, the potential collision between these high-profile figures promises to generate significant intrigue and anticipation among fans of both combat sports and technology.
