Logan Paul calls out Conor McGregor for MMA fight after KSI rematch

Logan Paul has claimed that he wants to fight Conor McGregor in a mixed martial arts bout.

Paul fights KSI in his first professional boxing match on 9 November after the pair fought to a majority draw in the amateur ranks last year.

Having come face to face at Saturday's press conference for the first time since that draw in front of 18,000 people last year, Paul believes he has already beaten KSI, saying at the press conference: "This will be a first round knockout. You don't stand a chance. After November 9, your life will be miserable."

And he's so confident in himself that he is already looking to his next sport - MMA.

With McGregor arguably the biggest sports star in the world, and almost certainly in combat sports, the question was posed to Paul who he thinks should fight next against the former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion.

"Me. I swear to God," he told Fight Hub TV.

"Yeah, I’ll fight Conor. He’s f***ing punching old men in the face.

“He did take it [the punch] though! He took the punch and then just drank his whiskey. Those Irishmen dude, those Irishmen. Wild.

“No offence to Eddie [Hearn], I’m an MMA fan. I want to do MMA after this. I wrestled in high school.”

Fighting KSI is one thing, Logan. Fighting McGregor is another.
