Watch Conor McGregor promise to 'slap the head off' Jake and Logan Paul in meetup at Trump's inauguration
Yesterday at 06:30 PM
Conor McGregor is still interested in fighting both Jake and Logan Paul.
Earlier this week, McGregor and the Paul brothers made unlikely allies as the trio found themselves together while heading to the Presidential Inauguration of Donald Trump. McGregor has a bit of a history with both brothers and was even rumored to be targeting a boxing match with the elder Paul earlier this month (though UFC CEO Dana White shot that down). Given that history, things could have taken an unfortunate turn between them, however, in a video Logan Paul put out on his YouTube channel, everybody got along quite well.
"It's all sweet here. It's all sweet here," McGregor says when first meeting the Paul brothers, before addressing Logan directly. "You kept your mouth shut, you did. I thought we were going to get the fight going? You're very quiet."
"What did you think the best course of action was for that?" Logan Paul replied.
"You're giving it all this, 'Dana this, Dana that!'" McGregor interjected. "You're f*cking controlled by the WWE as well. Don't be giving all this mega stip. That was in the air for us, brother! Yes, bring it home for me!"
That was just the start of the fun between McGregor and the Paul brothers. The trio rode a bus to the inauguration and after a bit of jawing back and forth, McGregor issued a warning and a promise to the Pauls.
"Listen, here's the deal: I'm going to slap the head off the two of you and KSI," McGregor said. "All three of you. You are nixers to me, you understand that? Side jobs. A little side job."
"You can't even do your main job, how are you going to do a side job?" Logan replied, which cause McGregor to smile and dismiss it, telling Logan to "Stay tuned."
McGregor still has two fights left on his UFC contract so a boxing match of any sort is highly unlikely. The former two-division UFC champion was supposed to make his long-awaited return to the cage this past summer at UFC 303, but withdrew from the bout with a toe injury. Dana White suggested McGregor will not make his return to the cage in late 2025, however, it's unclear if McGregor's ongoing legal troubles will influence that decision.
