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

The UFC doesn't seem interested in Conor McGregor boxing in India. Last month, McGregor revealed that he was currently in negotiations to box against WWE

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 made an appearance at a Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship press conference this week and gave an update on his fighting future.

YouTube star Logan Paul shares a piece of his conversation with UFC star Conor McGregor regarding a potential boxing match.

Conor McGregor claims he had every intention of squaring off against WWE star and social media influencer, Logan Paul, in a exhibition boxing match this year but that the idea was shut down by the UFC.

If there's one thing the Paul brothers know how to do, it's how to draw interest in fights. While the world is still obsessed with Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson and the legitimacy of that fight, even Floyd Mayweather has forgotten his brother Logan was the first to do it.
