Logan Paul eagerly jumps into the mix to secure a spot on the undercard of the highly anticipated showdown between tech tycoons Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. The YouTube sensation, who has long expressed his interest in venturing into the realm of MMA, sees this event as a potential stepping stone towards fulfilling his ambitions.
Having already dabbled in celebrity boxing and professional wrestling, Paul views this as the logical progression in his combat sports journey. During a recent episode of his popular podcast, Impaulsive, he fueled speculation by sparking discussions around the likelihood of the monumental showdown and wasted no time in publicly challenging a notable opponent of his own.

The individual in question happened to be none other than Paddy Pimblett, a prominent figure in the UFC lightweight division. To provide context for those unfamiliar, during Logan Paul’s highly publicized boxing match against Floyd Mayweather, Jr., Paul weighed in at 189 pounds. However, it is worth noting that Pimblett competes in the 155-pound weight class.
Despite the noticeable difference in weight divisions, Paul believes that the proposed matchup remains viable due to Paddy’s tendency to gain weight between fights. Pimblett has been known to share pictures of himself in a heavier state during his off-training periods, mentioning that he can reach as high as 200 pounds when he’s not actively preparing for a fight.
Nevertheless, weight classes serve a purpose, and it is highly improbable that Logan Paul could safely make the required weight cut to reach the lightweight limit. However, this obstacle won’t deter him from causing a stir within the community, as evidenced by his provocative statement:
“If Elon Musk and Eric Zuckerberg fight (yes he said ERIC), I will do my UFC debut on the undercard for free. I’ll fight for free for charity.”
This remark was clearly made in a lighthearted manner, yet when it comes to the Paul brothers, these types of challenges often serve as a gauge to test fan reactions. If the responses are positive, it’s only a matter of time before a genuine campaign emerges to arrange a bout, perhaps even one resembling this scenario. We are well aware of the Paul brothers’ immense following, and it would require minimal effort to transform this situation into a compelling call to action.
