Conor McGregor, Jake Paul, and Logan Paul shared the same bus ride while being escorted to Donald Trump’s swearing-in ceremony. The trio appeared to have a great time together, sharing photos with the world. However, things may have soured between them despite the earlier friendly exchange. Why, you ask? Well, that’s because McGregor has promised to slap Logan Paul. Amidst the chaotic smear of the MMA world, ‘Mystic Mac’ has come forward to emphasize the status of his comeback.

While conversing with ‘The Schmo’, Conor McGregor emphasized that his clash against Logan Paul in India would have been a lucrative business deal for the TKO group as it would have opened a new market for the MMA and the Boxing world. Nevertheless, he emphasized that the UFC is not in the mood to negotiate. “You know, it is what it is. The UFC just isn’t into it. I had the offer; it was there on the table in writing. Both athletes will say, “He’s not a fighter,” but whatever. Both athletes are under the TKO banner—UFC and WWE—both rising up. You know, the stock price of TKO Holding Group is through the roof.”

He further added, “A new market in India has opened up and is booming. It was business-savvy and made business sense to make the fight happen—or should I say, the glorified spar happen. And in between this wait, this waiting period, the UFC is not into it. I’m not sure about WWE, what their interest is in it. I just know the UFC weren’t into it.”

For the unreserved, Dana White may not be inclined to let Conor McGregor venture outside the UFC as he is still under contract with the promotion and has two fights remaining. The UFC CEO had earlier announced that ‘Mystic Mac’ will be returning to the Octagon this year. All of this just indicates that the UFC head honcho is not in the mood to let his cash cow graze elsewhere.

Interestingly, Dana White’s reluctance might have worked in his favor once again as Conor McGregor might not clash against the Paul brothers.

Conor McGregor clarifies his next move after failed dealings with Logan Paul

The friendly interaction between the Paul brothers and Conor McGregor appears to be a facade as the former dual-weight champion recently had a very heated confrontation with Logan Paul amidst his denial of taking the India fight. In their heated conversation, McGregor appeared to have taken shots at the brothers as well as KSI and stated, “I’m going to slap the head off the two of you and KSI. You are nixers to me. Do you understand that? You’re side jobs.”

This statement by the former UFC champ got a brutal counter as Logan Paul asserted that Conor McGregor is bound by the UFC contracts, “You can’t even do your main job. How can you do your side job?” The altercation between the fighters was fierce but it might have ended every score of their clash due to the fact that ‘Notorious’ might be done chasing ‘The Maverick’

When renowned journalist Jake Noecker asked McGregor if he was going to fight Logan Paul next, or if the fighting community could see him in BKFC or UFC next, McGregor replied, “BKFC, Saturday night, baby, live from Wells Fargo Center.” Well, the former UFC champ is not fighting in that even as he was just promoting it but he continued, “For me in a competitive standpoint, UFC.”

Logan Paul fight is done for and UFC is his next target. Regardless, what’s your take on the hubbub? State your thoughts in the comments below.
