Paddy Pimblett makes Logan Paul promise ahead of potential UFC fight

Liverpool's Paddy Pimblett has told Logan Paul that he would have no chance against him if he ever stepped into the UFC octagon to face him. The American sensation Paul has called out Pimblett on multiple occasions and even asked UFC president Dana White to make the fight happen, which was not ruled out.

Paul began plans to make an appearance in the octagon following talks whit White on his Impaulsive podcast. The YouTube star identified Pimblett as the man he'd want to challenge. Paul was a collegiate wrestler in Ohio, but has never fought in Mixed Martial Arts - with Pimblett, of course, being a seasoned veteran.

And Paul doubled down on his take on defeating Pimblett when speaking on the True Geordie Podcast last week.

And now, Pimblett has responded. He told Seconds Out: "I’ve told you all, he knows who the boy is, he knows who the face of the UFC is now and it’s me. I’d f****** snap his leg for him or knock him clean out. I don’t care what weight he wants to fight at. I’d fight him at 185. I’d probably get him down to 175 or something and I’d fight him at that but I’d fight him at 185lb."

Due to Pimblett's involvement with the UFC, Paul said that he would require Dana White's permission to fight, something the UFC boss admitted was a possibility on the Impaulsive podcast.

Paul has only fought professionally once, a loss to fellow YouTuber KSI in the boxing ring, and currently holds a 0-1 record but is believed to be keen to re-enter the ring. His brother Jake has enjoyed a successful 5-0 record in the boxing ring so far and has beaten former UFC star Tyron Woodley twice.
