“I’m not saying no”- Dana White refuses to rule out the possibility of signing Logan Paul to the UFC

Dana White recently was on the ‘Number one‘ podcast hosted by Logan Paul and Mike Majlak, where they talk about a myriad of topics including Boxing, MMA, and much more. “The world’s greatest, most thought-provoking, mentally stimulating podcast in the history of mankind… hosted by a bunch of idiots.” says all we need to know about the segment.

Logan was clearly joking when he said that they were the #1 Podcast, which forced a blank stare out of Dana. He wasn’t in on that joke. Dana White was asked by Logan if Jake Paul could get in the Octagon with Conor after ‘Twitter fingers’ McGregor and Joke Paul engaged in a tweet off about fighting each other.

“Probably not, no …He shouldn’t be fighting Conor McGregor, the guy is huge. What is he? 6’1, 210 lbs? Conor McGregor fights at 145, 155. There’s weight classes for a reason. It’s a stretch for Conor to even fight at 170, he fought Nate there, but it’s not his weight class, not even close.”

Logan then moves on to him fighting at the UFC and asks if he could fight someone in an MMA fight, says it doesn’t need to be McGregor but just someone who also had the interest to fight him[Logan]. Dana white the questions Logan if he had practiced Jiujitsu, says that he had the wrestling and the striking covered already.

“Well, who would you want to fight? You have wrestling and boxing. You’ve done jiu-jitsu, right? I’m not saying no. I’m not saying no.”
