Speaking to the media after the KSI vs Logan Paul press conference yesterday, Paul made his post-fight plans very clear, calling on UFC President Dana White to give him a shot at the top level…
Turning Pro
Logan Paul has never been a stranger to controversy. In 2017, he attracted unwanted mainstream attention when he showed a suicide victim in one of his YouTube videos.
It is now the boxing community who are divided over Paul and his antics. Ever since boxing promoter Eddie Hearn offered Paul and KSI the opportunity to turn professional and fight on pay-per-view, there have been vocal dissenters claiming that the pair are not worthy of headlining a top-tier boxing event - over one million PPV buys from their first fight suggests otherwise.
UFC Debut
Logan Paul has campaigned for a shot in the UFC in the past and was largely ignored by Dana White and his team. However, Paul is now officially a professional boxer and a college-level wrestler. Combine this with his rabid fan-base and uncanny ability to self-promote, and all of a sudden, Paul has a resume that should be able to catch Dana White’s eye.
When you consider the UFC’s involvement in Mayweather vs McGregor, the CM Punk debacle, and Dana White’s desire to promote a fight between Justin Beiber and Tom Cruise - you have to say that we may well be hurtling towards a UFC debut for Logan Paul in the near future.
