Sean O\u2019Malley explains why Logan Paul \u201cwill never\u201d fight Paddy Pimblett in UFC Instagram\/sugaseanmma\/loganpaul\/YouTube\/UFCLogan Paul wants to fight rising MMA star Pady Pimblett in the UFC, but bantamweight sensation Sean O\u2019Malley doesn\u2019t think Dana White would never let it happen. YouTuber sensation Logan Paul has made quite a name for himself in the fighting world, boxing legendary champion Floyd Mayweather in 2021 and recently making his WWE debut at WrestleMania 38. Now, the influencer has his sights set on the UFC and wants to take on up-and-comer Paddy \u2018The Baddy\u2019 Pimblett in his MMA debut \u2013 something he believes can happen at 185 pounds. However, fellow UFC star Sean O\u2019Malley has explained why the fight has little chance of actually happening despite understanding why Logan made the challenge to begin with. (segment begins at 15:40 f0r mobile users) Sean O\u2019Malley says Dana White won\u2019t let Paul vs Pimblett happen On his podcast, O\u2019Malley addressed Paul\u2019s challenge, explaining how Logan had discussed the possibility with him and how he warned the YouTuber that a fight was unlikely. \u201cHe messaged me that a couple of weeks ago\u2026 but I told him, \u2018Dana [White] will never f**king do that.\u2019 It doesn\u2019t matter how big of a fight that is, if Logan goes in there and beats Paddy, Paddy can\u2019t be a star,\u201d he explained. \u201cHe can\u2019t be, he lost to Logan Paul.\u201d O\u2019Malley also praised Logan as being a good boxer who can wrestle, too \u2013 and with enough training, his size might be too much for Paddy to overcome. (segment begins at 1:55 for mobile users) That all said, \u2018Sugar\u2019 Sean understands why Logan would want to fight Pimblett, saying on The Schmo that, \u201cHe probably looks at him and Paddy\u2019s fat as sh*t and looks like he\u2019s 200 pounds, and Logan\u2019s like, \u2018Yeah, I\u2019m around that weight.\u2019\u201d \u201cPaddy\u2019s a massive prospect right now, blowing up, so it makes sense for Logan to call out someone with a name like that,\u201d he added. Thus far, Dana White hasn\u2019t commented on the possibility of Logan Paul squaring off against Pimblett, but the UFC boss said he\u2019s open to The Maverick fighting in the octagon. Even if Logan doesn\u2019t get to compete against Pimblett, there\u2019s still a chance he ends up making an MMA debut in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
