McGregor Claims UFC Was Not Interested in His Fight with Logan Paul

Former two-weight UFC champion Conor McGregor announced that the world’s top league has vetoed his boxing match against blogger Logan Paul.

Conor McGregor for The Schmo
It is what it is. The UFC just aren't into it. The offer was there on the table, in writing. Both athletes will say, 'He's not fighting,' but both athletes are under the TKO banner. UFC, WWE both rising up. The stock price of TKO Holding Ground (is) through the roof. New market in India opened up and booming. It was business savvy, and business sense to make the fight happen. The UFC weren't into it.

McGregor last fought against American Dustin Poirier in July 2021 at UFC 264, where he suffered a technical knockout due to a broken leg. His MMA record stands at 22 wins and six losses.

In October 2023, Paul fought against former Bellator fighter Dillon Danis, winning by disqualification after Danis attempted a choke and attacked the guards.
