Logan Paul has revealed his ideal opponent for a proposed UFC fight. The YouTuber would like to face Paddy Pimblett.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old is currently active in both professional wrestling and boxing. However, he’s teased an MMA fight over the years. Paul was previously an accomplished collegiate wrestler before his days as a social media influencer.<\/p>\n

While Scott Coker and Bellator have shown interest<\/a> in bringing him in, Paul seemingly has his eye on the UFC. When he had Dana White on his podcast, he asked if the promotion would bring him in. While the UFC president didn’t say yes, he noted that he’d been open<\/a> to the idea.<\/p>\n

While Paul didn’t have an answer then to White’s question on who he’d like to fight, he does now. ‘The Maverick’ discussed a possible move to the UFC on The MMA Hour<\/em> with Ariel Helwani. There, Paul revealed that his ideal opponent would be UFC lightweight Paddy Pimblett.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re saying he\u2019s possibly the next\u00a0Conor McGregor, right? He\u2019s super charismatic, he\u2019s entertaining as hell, he\u2019s on the come up, he\u2019s young like me, he\u2019s got a real loudmouth. I just like the way he can perform. I think also, in the off-season, he can come up like 25 pounds. The kid blows up in the off-season, I\u2019ve never seen anything like it. It\u2019s like someone put a pump in him and [blows him up]. So he can get up to 185 and I can get down to 185 and possibly do a UFC match.\u201d (h\/t MMAFighting<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Paul continued, “[Dana White] asked me who I\u2019d want to fight and I didn\u2019t have anyone in mind, and now I\u2019m looking at it and I\u2019m like, okay if I were to do a UFC fight, it needs to be with someone who can sell tickets. Paddy can sell, we\u2019ve seen how he can activate crowds, and he\u2019s still relatively new, he\u2019s young, he\u2019s entertaining. I just think the fans would eat that s*** up.\u201d<\/p>\n
