Paddy Pimblett accepts Logan Paul\u2019s challenge to fight him in UFC EA SPORTS\/Instagram\/theufcbaddy\/loganpaulUFC star Paddy Pimblett is down to fight YouTuber Logan Paul in the octagon after the influencer called him out earlier this month. Both Logan and brother Jake Paul have been looking to get involved in UFC since their boxing careers took off. Jake has notably gone 5-0, while Logan Paul went the distance against legendary champ Floyd Mayweather last year. In April, Logan explained to Ariel Helwani that if he were to get involved in the UFC, his go-to opponent would be up-and-comer Paddy \u2018The Baddy\u2019 Pimblett, praising the fighter as \u201cthe next Conor McGregor.\u201d Despite concerns from fellow UFC fighters Sean O\u2019Malley and Jorge Masvidal that Logan would beat him due to a major size difference, Pimblett is still convinced he\u2019d make The Maverick tap out. (Segment begins at 1:18 for mobile users.) Paddy Pimblett vows to submit Logan Paul in UFC During an interview with The Schmo, Paddy was asked about Logan Paul\u2019s fight challenge \u2013 and he didn\u2019t back down from the opportunity. \u201cHe knows who the boy is, doesn\u2019t he? He knows who will put bums on seats, lad. I can\u2019t see him mentioning anyone else,\u201d the Liverpool native said, before admitting the YouTuber had a size advantage. \u201cI know he\u2019s a lot bigger than me, but I don\u2019t think it really matters, to be honest.\u201d According to Pimblett, despite Logan having an edge with his size, his technical skills would suffice and be enough to earn the win. \u201cI think I\u2019d submit him quite easily and quite quickly but you never know, anything can happen in a fight. If Logan Paul ever does want the fight, lad, I\u2019m open to hearing what numbers he\u2019s coming at us with,\u201d he added. So far, Logan has responded to Paddy accepting the fight\u2026 but with UFC boss Dana White open to having the elder Paul brother in the octagon, it will be fun to see if the two end up touching gloves in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
