Conor McGregor discussed a potential boxing match with Logan Paul during an interview with The Schmo, revealing UFC’s decision to prevent the encounter. McGregor viewed the proposed match as a strategic business opportunity during his recovery period.
It was business savvy and business sense to make the fight happen. Or should I say the glorified spar happen. In between this wait… before I can get back to the Octagon, it made perfect sense on the calendar to go ahead with it. The UFC weren’t into it. I’m not sure the WWE, what their interest was. I just knew the UFC weren’t into it.
McGregor has not competed since July 2021, when he suffered a broken leg in his bout against Dustin Poirier. His planned return against Michael Chandler, which received promotion on WWE RAW, faced delays due to a toe injury.
The fighter also mentioned his previous concept of a “TKO KING TITLE,” which he had connected to an unrealized match with Jake Paul.
