UFC President Dana White has dashed all hopes for Conor McGregor’s biggest fight of his career. The internet was buzzing with rumors about a McGregor vs. Logan Paul boxing match, but the excitement began to fade as the news went unconfirmed by any official sources. Recently, White provided a significant update, denying the speculation about ‘The Notorious’ stepping into the ring for the fight.
McGregor sparked rumors of a potential boxing match with Logan Paul in India, leading fans to speculate that this could be the fight Dana White had previously mentioned. However, White recently shut down those claims, dismissing the idea of McGregor fighting Paul or even KSI. He did, however, confirm that McGregor is expected to return to the Octagon this fall. In an interview, White clarified,
“No (McGregor will not fight Logan Paul). No, no, no. What I was talking about in December. Yeah, I can imagine it’s probably gonna happen and it’s gonna happen in the fall, a fight that I’m working on (and you’ll never see it coming),”
White certainly gave fans something to buzz about with his recent update. While he shut down rumors of McGregor facing Logan Paul or KSI, he confirmed that McGregor’s return to the Octagon is expected this fall. Fans will now have to wait for official confirmation from White himself to learn more about the upcoming fight.
Brendan Schaub Comments on $250M Conor McGregor vs. Logan Paul Fight Rumor
Fans were excited when Conor McGregor announced a potential fight against Logan Paul in India, claiming he would earn $250 million. This bold statement quickly grabbed attention, prompting former UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub to express his doubts. Schaub questioned the claim, comparing McGregor’s reported earnings to those of top boxers like Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, whose combined pay wouldn’t reach $250 million. On his YouTube podcast ExtraThiccc, Schaub stated,
“It will never, ever happen. So even if none of this darkness was going on. Let’s say he was 30-0, triple champ, quadruple champ, even if he was that. He still wouldn’t make $250 million [in the UFC].”

Schaub pointed out that even if McGregor were the top pound-for-pound fighter in the world, no UFC fighter, past or present, could earn $250 million in a single fight. He criticized the idea of McGregor, facing a YouTuber and ongoing controversies, earning more than elite boxers, stressing that no UFC fighter, regardless of their success, could achieve such a sum.
