UFC Blocks Conor McGregor’s Attempt to Face Logan Paul in India

Summary

– McGregor teased a fight with Logan Paul for the “TKO King” title, but UFC refused

– The bout was planned for India, tapping into a growing market

– Logan Paul remains inactive in boxing while McGregor waits for his return fight

Conor McGregor’s proposed fight against Logan Paul is officially off after the UFC shut down the idea. McGregor initially hyped up the match on social media, branding it as a “TKO King” battle between UFC and WWE under the TKO Group banner.

McGregor saw the fight as a business-savvy move, especially with TKO’s stock soaring and the UFC expanding into India. However, speaking with The Schmo, he admitted that while he had an offer in writing, the UFC wasn’t interested, effectively canceling the bout before it could be finalized.

Logan Paul, who hasn’t boxed since his controversial win over Dillon Danis, never publicly responded to McGregor’s challenge. While a crossover clash between the two TKO powerhouses would have been a massive draw, UFC’s firm control over McGregor’s career left no path forward.
