In response to Logan Paul’s offer to fight for free, UFC star Paddy Pimblett confidently stated that he would gladly face him in the UFC and claim his purse. Despite Logan Paul’s three boxing matches without a victory, he seeks to showcase his wrestling skills in MMA under the UFC banner.
Despite the significant weight difference, Logan has persistently called out Paddy Pimblett, recently suggesting he’d be willing to compete for charity on the undercard of Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk’s hypothetical fight.

Pimblett’s last fight was in December, where he narrowly defeated Jared Gordon in a decision win, mired in controversy. A foot injury has kept him sidelined for most of this year, but his eagerness to return to the octagon remains undiminished. He expressed his readiness to take on the elder Paul brother and would gladly accept double the purse for the match.
“I’m sure he said he’d fight for free as well?” Pimblett said during an interview with Sloth Boxx. “I’ll take his wages then. I’ll fight for his wages and my own. Of course, it’s a publicity stunt. But it works well for me because I’m not fighting and people are still talking about me.”
“That shows I’m doing everything right. I haven’t fought in over 6-7 months, and people are still talking about me, I’m not even ranked. But I’m still the name on the tip of everyone’s tongue.”
Regrettably for Paul and Pimblett’s fans, the Scouse fighter harbors concerns about the likelihood of Musk and Zuckerberg ever actually facing off. While the social media moguls have initiated their training for the bout, the significant disparity in weight and age presents a formidable challenge, making it exceedingly difficult for both men to officially arrange the fight.
“I don’t. I don’t think they’ll end up fighting. If they were to do anything, it’ll be a grappling match but I don’t even think they’d do that, to be honest. Both of them are people that wouldn’t want to lose.”
Last month, Elon Musk issued a challenge to Mark Zuckerberg, and both tech moguls have publicly accepted it. Recently, photos have surfaced showing them training alongside renowned fighters such as Georges St-Pierre, Alex Volkanovski, and Israel Adesanya.
