Logan Paul reveals his next major career change Logan Paul, YouTube \/ Textbacklinkexchanges.comControversial YouTuber Logan Paul has expressed an earnest desire to move away from the video platform in the past \u2013 and now, it seems that he\u2019s finally settled on an alternative career path. Following his boxing match with YouTuber KSI in August 2018, Paul has disclosed an acute interest in fighting full-time \u2013 most markedly in mixed martial arts. While Paul\u2019s subsequent efforts to join the UFC were promptly dashed, that isn\u2019t stopping the vlogger from chasing his goal, revealing in a Tweet on May 28 that he hopes to \u201cpursue a career in fighting.\u201d Responses to Paul\u2019s Tweet were largely mixed, with some fans wishing the YouTuber the best of luck in his pursuit, while others were markedly less than optimistic. \u201cAnd end your YouTube career while you\u2019re at it?\u201d one critic wrote of his statement. \u201cWould be funny to watch him get absolutely wrecked, yeah?\u201d another said. Even professional mixed martial artist Cris Cyborg got in on the action, asking Paul if he wanted to stop by her gym \u2013 an idea suggested by UFC fighter Michael Chiesa shortly after Paul\u2019s fight with KSI in 2018. While both Jake and Logan Paul have made multiple jabs at UFC president Dana White in an attempt to nab a spot in the octagon, White claimed that he should \u201cbe arrested\u201d if he ever let the two set foot in the org \u2013 despite other industry pros speculating that the YouTuber might stand a solid chance in a real fight. [Timestamp: 0:30 for mobile viewers] UFC champion Tyron Woodley commented on the possibility during an episode of TMZ\u2019s Hollywood Beatdown in October 2018, where he appeared to be confident that Paul was going to get an official fight in the UFC. \u201cHe\u2019s gonna fight in the UFC,\u201d Woodley said. \u201cDana is not a fool. He\u2019s gonna fight. Mark my words \u2013 Logan Paul will fight in the UFC.\u201d [Timestamp: 4:30 for mobile viewers] Popular podcast host and MMA commentator Joe Rogan likewise spoke out on the matter, claiming that Paul was \u201cway better than CM Punk\u201d and stating that the YouTuber \u201cactually knows how to fight\u201d in reference to his match against KSI. Paul is set to face off with KSI once more in a rematch in November 2019, although an exact date and venue have yet to be announced as of this article\u2019s publication.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
