White 'not saying no' to Logan Paul in UFC
Logan Paul in the UFC? According to one of the men in charge, that isn't out of the realm of possibility.
"I'm not saying no," UFC president Dana White said during an appearance on Paul's "Impaulsive" podcast when asked whether he would entertain signing the 26-year-old for a fight.
Paul rose to stardom as a YouTuber, but he - along with his younger brother Jake - has since gained even more fame as a boxer. He was last in action in an exhibition match against all-time great Floyd Mayweather last June.
The elder Paul, who's not as committed to boxing as his brother, has said he hopes to also compete in MMA one day. Paul wrestled in college and high school, and he has also done some jiu-jitsu training.
White's stance on whether he would allow Logan to compete in the UFC is vastly different than what he has said about Jake, who recently proposed that he sign a one-bout deal with the promotion to face off with either Conor McGregor or Jorge Masvidal.
White, who has feuded with Jake in recent months over fighter pay, has said it's unlikely he'll ever work with the 25-year-old in a professional capacity.
For now, Logan is set to make a high-profile appearance in the WWE at WrestleMania 38 in April.
