Footage of Conor McGregor Confronting Logan & Jake Paul

Recent reports made claims that the YouTuber Logan Paul’s next boxing opponent would be UFC star Conor McGregor. This was seemingly confirmed by a meeting between the two on their way to the inauguration of Donald Trump.

The confrontation appeared cordial enough, but there was an underlying veil of tension due to McGregor’s erratic behaviour. The fighter appeared to discharge any worries by starting with: “It’s all sweet here, it’s all sweet.” But after saying that, he immediately changed gears in typical Conor McGregor fashion.

“You kept your mouth shut, you did,” McGregor said to Logan. “I thought we were gonna get the fight going.” As Logan tried to respond in a timid manner, McGregor made sure to tell him: “You’re very quiet.”

He continued: “You’re giving it all this, Dana this, Dana that. You’re f****** controlled by the WWE as well. Don’t be giving it all this mega stip.”

Logan, accompanied by his brother, Jake, appeared taken aback by McGregor’s hyperactive direct approach, with Logan saying, “It’s 8am, how?” as the fighter walked off. Podcaster and comedian, Theo Von, who was also in attendance, quipped that McGregor had a Zyn in his brain.

The group were all sharing the same bus on their way to Capitol Hill, so their showdown continued. Standing in the aisle, McGregor loudly proclaimed: “This is the real deal in front of you, you know that.” The Paul brothers shared some awkward glances between each other as it was obvious that they were a little intimidated.

“Here’s the deal,” McGregor said. “I’m gonna slap the head off the two of youse and KSI, all day. Youse are nixers to me, a side job.” Referencing McGregor’s absence from the Octagon, Logan responded: “You can’t even do your main job, how are you going to do your side job?”

To his credit, McGregor appeared to take the slight in his stride. Logan ended the meeting by stating how crazy it is to be on a bus with McGregor following him throwing a dolly at one in 2018. His reference to McGregor’s attack on a bus at UFC 223 during his feud with Khabib Nurmagomedov got a strong, maniacal laugh from the fighter.

Conor McGregor’s Interest in Politics & Recent Controversy

It’s been a hectic time for the Irishman, despite his absence from the Octagon

McGregor has always been a controversial figure and his appearance at the Trump inauguration should come as no surprise. In recent years, he has dipped his toes into politics, announcing his ambitions to run for President of Ireland in 2025. Like Trump, McGregor is firmly anti-immigration and would be seeking support from the right wing side of the political spectrum if he does intend on campaigning.

A dent in his political aspirations will come from McGregor being convicted guilty of sexual assault by a Dublin Civil Court last December. The UFC fighter was found guilty and is being forced to pay £208,000 in damages to the victim. His public image has also taken a huge hit, with endorsements and brand deals dropping the athlete.
