UFC announcer Bruce Buffer reveals that he is very keen to see Paddy Pimblett and Logan Paul lock horns in the Octagon.
Paul, who has been doing exhibition boxing fights and has even squared off against Floyd Mayweather, has revealed his interest in making his MMA debut. The YouTuber and older brother of Jake Paul, Logan has also background in wrestling.
Aside from getting along with UFC prez Dana White, Paul recently expressed his wish to fight Paddy Pimblett, the rising UFC lightweight star, in the Octagon, and said he would even do it for free if UFC actually makes the Mark Zuckerberg vs. Elon Musk fight.
“If Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg fight, I will do my UFC debut on the undercard for free,” Paul recently said on his podcast. “I’ll fight for free, for charity… [I’ll fight] Anyone. You know [who] I want to fight actually? Because b*tch a*s Andrew Tate won’t fight me, give me Paddy Pimblett! Give me ‘Paddy the Baddy’. In the offseason, that boy looks like a blimp and he’ll come to my weight class and I’ll wallop him. He’s too small when he cuts weight, when he doesn’t cut weight he’s a f*cking horseshoe.”
While it is not known yet whether the UFC would show interest in doing Paul vs. Pimblett, Bruce Buffer has said that its a fight he wishes to see, believing that it would be a massively popular showdown.
“I’d love to see that fight. First off, I’d love to see Logan Paul just walk in no matter who he fights, and I’ll tell you why. When you have an influencer like him that has such a far reach, he will bring eyeballs to the UFC that have not even gone onto the UFC. So, he’s a wrestler, he has a wrestling base, he’s a fantastic athlete,” Buffer told The Schmo.
“Match him up properly with an opponent. Paddy Pimblett would be a huge fight. Who would not wanna tune in and watch that fight? It’s great ratings, it’s not Musk and Zuckerberg, but it’s pretty darn close. It would really bring a lot of eyeballs. So, if Logan wants to train, go in and be a warrior, and do it, more power to him. Why not?” he added. [H/T BJPenn.com]
