Logan Paul explains why he would \u201cdestroy\u201d UFC\u2019s CM Punk YouTube star Logan Paul is more than an internet celeb: the entertainer joined the world of professional boxing for his grudge match against fellow content creator KSI, and now, it looks like his sights are set even higher. Following his first match with KSI in August 2018, Paul pleaded with UFC president Dana White for a chance at stepping in the octagon \u2013 a proposal that White claimed would get the YouTuber \u201cmurdered.\u201d It\u2019s not just Paul who feels he\u2019d stand a fighting chance in professional MMA, though: KSI likewise encouraged his opponent to take on former wrestling pro and MMA fighter CM Punk after his win at their 2019 boxing rematch. TMZ Sports caught up with Paul to get his thoughts on this possibility, asking him how he felt about his chances against the pro. \u201cI think I would destroy CM Punk if I\u2019m being honest\u201d the YouTuber confidently answered. \u201cI don\u2019t know if anyone would disagree with that. \u2026not think [I could beat him]. I know I could.\u201d CM Punk isn\u2019t the only MMA fighter who\u2019s had beef with the Paul brothers, either: Dillon Danis, known for his history with Team 10 founder Jake Paul, was also brought up in TMZ Sports\u2019 interview, to which Paul had a scathing reply. \u201cTo be honest, I\u2019d fight Dillon any day,\u201d he continued. \u201cI mean, Dillon, you\u2019re a f***ing p***y. You\u2019re a lot of talk. No one in the MMA community likes you. You\u2019ve got a few Twitter followers who are on your d***, but that\u2019s it. I can guarantee you that if you came over to the YouTube space, we\u2019d f*** you up.\u201d While Danis has yet to respond directly to Paul\u2019s callout, the fighter retweeted TMZ\u2019s interview on the subject, as well as several memes regarding the YouTuber\u2019s split-decision loss against KSI. Despite Paul\u2019s loss, it doesn\u2019t look like \u201cThe Maverick\u201d is giving up his dreams of professional fighting anytime soon: and considering his knack at picking a fight, there\u2019s no telling who he\u2019ll face off with next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
