Logan Paul calls out Conor McGregor as he prepares for KSI rematch
LOGAN PAUL called out Conor McGregor as the internet star prepares to rematch YouTube rival KSI.
The American, who drew in a boxing exhibition against KSI last year, has turned professional ahead of the second fight against his social media rival.
However, Paul – who wrestled while at college – admits he prefers MMA, and aims to switch the ring for the cage after his November 9 rematch.
And “The Maverick” wants to face ex-UFC champion McGregor – who allegedly assaulted a man in a Dublin pub in April.
He said: “I swear to God. Yeah, I’ll fight Conor. He’s f***ing punching old men in the face.
“He did take it [the punch] though! He took the punch and then just drank his whiskey. Those Irishmen dude, those Irishmen. Wild.
“No offence to Eddie [Hearn], I’m an MMA fan. I want to do MMA after this. I wrestled in high school.”
McGregor has not fought since a loss to lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 in October.
But Russian Nurmagomedov returned to action in Abu Dhabi this month stopping Dustin Poirier in three rounds.
And Paul threw further shade at The Notorious by claiming his arch rival is “unbeatable”.

He added: “I don’t think Khabib’s a human being.
“I don’t know where he came from, but in my eyes he’s unbeatable.
“Like no offence to Dustin, but I didn’t think Dustin would win and look what happened, it was pure domination.”
