McGregor confronted his potential opponent Logan and his brother Jake Paul earlier this week while on their way to the United States presidential inauguration. McGregor’s energy was off the charts, but he kept things professional enough while talking trash to the Paul Brothers as they rode on the same bus to the event.

McGregor was referring to UFC president Dana White – who publicly dismissed the boxing match – and the fact that Logan has starred in WWE since 2021. Now, the former MMA champion has gone into more depth on why the fight collapsed, despite UFC and WWE having the same owners: TKO Group Holdings.

Conor McGregor said the UFC would not grant him permission to face Logan Paul in an exhibition boxing match in India this year.
