On a recent episode of the Impaulsive podcast, Logan Paul shared his thoughts on UFC 264 and ‘the Notorious’ Conor McGregor. Paul highlighted the Irishman has done a multitude of things that do not reflect well on his overall persona. He cited McGregor’s post-fight behavior inside the octagon at UFC 264, his bitter rivalry with Khabib Nurmagomedov, and more such confrontations inside and outside the octagon.
However, ‘The Maverick’ suggested, despite his antics, Conor McGregor is always entertaining.
