“He Got Good Act Together…”: Logan Paul Backs Conor McGregor Despite His Brother Jake Paul Taking a Jibe at the Former Champ

In a surprising turn of events, YouTuber and Professional wrestler Logan Paul has come out in defense of MMA fighter Conor McGregor. It comes as a surprise considering the past interactions between the two celebrities haven’t been so nice. The defense was a response to Logan’s younger brother Jake Paul, dismissing ‘The Notorious’ as an alcoholic. The said incident took place on the latest episode of Logan Paul’s podcast, IMPAULSIVE. On the show, Jake joined him to discuss his upcoming boxing match with Nate Diaz. During the conversation, Logan’s co-host, Mike asked Jake’s opinions on being called a ‘donkey’ by the UFC Veteran. To this Jake said that he will beat up Conor if they ever boxed, referring to the UFC lightweight as an alcoholic.

It was at this point Logan interrupted his brother and came out in defense of the former two-division UFC champion. According to him, he finds Conor’s life story of rags to riches inspiring as the fighter had a ‘rise from the gutter’. He further talked about his respect for the Irishman’s choice of still showing up in the sports despite having a choice to not continue. As for his brother’s allegations, the former D1 wrestler defended the MMA fighter by dismissing it as just a bad phase in the Veteran’s life. In Logan’s words:

“oh…no…no.. I think I think you’re mistaken, I think you’re mistaken. I think he was that for a little bit for some time, and then I think he got his act together and just like many humans. He got his ups, he got his downs and this documentary humanizes him, and the one thing regardless of what you think about Conor McGregor or his wife, he made it out of the gutter with hard fu**ing physical.”
