Logan Paul appeared in a recent episode of the Bobby Lee and Khalyla Kuhn-hosted program ‘TigerBelly’.

The YouTuber was questioned about facing particular fighters as the episode went on. He stated unequivocally that he could not defeat Khabib Nurmagomedov and Kamaru Usman when questioned about them.

However, when asked about Joe Rogan, Paul stated, “I would fu** Joe Rogan up.”

Following that, he was asked about Dustin Poirier, and he went on to say, “Yeah, he just fought. He had a great fight. I don’t know, it’s tough bro, I could do this all day. The point is I’d fu** up, Joe Rogan.”

Paul was in conversation with Andrew Schulz on ‘The Flagrant’ podcast, where he was asked when would he appear on the JRE podcast.

The 27-year-old replied, “It’s no rush. I’ll give him a f**king good a*s reason to have me on proper one day. If he doesn’t feel it’s right yet, it’s not. No rush, I’ll be around. I got some big things coming. I need something, I’m lulling right now, I’m stagnant.”
