Influencer, professional wrestler and boxer Logan Paul tried to get on the UFC 300 fight card but UFC CEO Dana White didn’t respond to his messages. The older of the Paul brothers, Logan, wrestled in high school and college.
“Veteran Voice of the Octagon” Bruce Buffer believes “The Maverick” could compete in the octagon if properly trained.
“He’s got a pedigree in wrestling. Not just the WCW, he has a pedigree in colligate wrestling if I’m not mistaken. He’s quite the athlete. One thing about Logan is he’s a supreme athlete,” Buffer told TMZ Sports.
“I think, and I’ve been asked this before, like anybody else, you’re talking about 40 weapons in mixed martial arts, 40 plus weapons versus two weapons in the Marquess of Queensberry Rules of the amazing sport of boxing. He’s boxed. He’s doing the wrestling. If he trains properly for MMA, I think he could compete in the UFC. It’s a matter of who he goes up against,” continued Buffer.
Buffer offered some advice for Paul if he’s serious about fighting in the UFC.
“Logan, if you’re going to train with somebody, train with the best. And I’m sure Logan can definitely afford to train with the best,” Buffer said.
“Just to watch Logan walk into the octagon would bring a lot of eyeballs to the sport from his fanbase. ”
