In combat sports, there’s no denying that fighters jump at the chance to face Conor McGregor. As the sport’s biggest cash cow, everyone wants their slice of the pie, aiming for that infamous “red panty night.” However, Logan Paul recently shut down any chance of fighting Conor McGregor, confirming his commitment to staying in the UFC. Despite this, the $250 million event remains on track, with rumors suggesting KSI could face a UFC star in India.
A reliable KSI news page on X shared a tweet suggesting JJ could replace Logan Paul to fight Conor McGregor. With Logan committed to staying in the WWE, KSI is rumored to fill the void in this potential $250 million event. The post claims negotiations for the fight are underway, sparking excitement among fans to see the YouTuber-turned-boxer square off against the MMA icon in a high-stakes clash.
Notably, KSI and Logan Paul recently attended the Ambani-hosted Vantara event during their visit to India to launch Prime. During their stay, they toured a massive animal park created by the Indian billionaire Ambani, who is now rumored to be organizing the $250 million event.

All in all, if this fight happens, it’s bound to be an unmissable spectacle for fans.
