The hugely popular American content creator is gearing up for his highly-anticipated rematch with KSI on November 9, where he believes he\u2019s going to win convincingly and also pretty early too. While his pre-fight talk has mostly been about his injuries, especially in terms of brain damage, he\u2019s now opened up about what he wants to do after the fight \u2013 provided he wins, that is. The YouTuber appeared on the True Geordie Podcast alongside his brother Jake and podcast co-host Mike Majlak, discussing everything from his fights, his YouTube career, and his aspiration to become the biggest entertainer in the world. To make that happen, however, he wants to continue in the fighting game but swap the sweet science of boxing for the UFC \u2013 for at least one bout. \u201cI\u2019ve played this scenario out in my head a hundred times,\u201d Logan said after being asked if it was a serious possibility. \u201cImma beat JJ, imma do my first fight in the UFC, imma win, imma smoke this f**king dude whoever it is and then I\u2019m going to be like yo, I think I\u2019m good, that was fun, and then I\u2019m going to get a huge bag placed in front of me and be like, f**k bro, I could use another Rolex.\u201d As for potential opponents after that, well, Majlak said that the Paul brother would be eyeing up Irish superstar Conor McGregor despite the fact that there\u2019s a huge weight difference \u2013 not to mention a huge gulf in skill. The YouTuber was also quizzed on why he\u2019d want to want to continue fighting, be it boxing or mixed martial arts, and he stated that he wasn\u2019t scared either way and that he\u2019s also become fond of being hit and throwing strikes back at opponents. Whether or not it\u2019s a possibility that Logan steps inside of the octagon following his November 9 rematch is unclear, especially as he\u2019s previously called out Dana White for not signing him up already. It would obviously be a huge shift for the entertainment world, and a major talking point in the YouTube sphere, so it probably won\u2019t go away anytime soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Logan Paul eyeing Conor McGregor UFC fight and he\u2019s actually serious YouTube sensation Logan Paul has explained what he plans to do after his boxing rematch with KSI and if you think he wants to step away from fighting, you\u2019d be wrong, as he\u2019s eyeing up a huge prize in Conor McGregor.
