Logan Paul wants Pimblett on conceptual Musk vs. Zuckerberg UFC card
If a battle of the billionaires between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg actually comes to fruition in the UFC, Logan Paul wants to make his MMA debut at the event.
Musk and Zuckerberg have been teasing a potential fight in the octagon, which has caught the eye of UFC president Dana White, who is all-in on promoting the matchup. Paul, who has boxed professionally in the past and is a current WWE Superstar, has shown interest in MMA competition. If the two tech giants do battle in the cage, Paul says he wants to make his debut on the undercard, and won’t look to profit from his fight purse.
“I’ll be honest, I pitched it,” Paul said on his podcast, “IMPAULSIVE.” “I pitched it internally, I pitched it to the executives that be. If Elon Musk and Zuckerberg fight, I will do my UFC debut on the undercard, for free. I’ll fight for free, for charity.”
Beyond just offering his services for charity on what would be one of the biggest fighting spectacles in history, Paul has already done the matchmaking too.
“You know who I want to fight actually, because that b*tch ass Andrew Tate won’t fight me? Give me Paddy Pimblett,” Paul said. “Give me Paddy the Baddy.”
For Paul’s latest pair of boxing bouts, a pro outing against KSI and an exhibition against Floyd Mayweather, he weighed in at 200 and 189.5 pounds respectively – both significantly higher than the 155-pound class in which Pimblett competes. However, Paul is aware of Pimblett’s tendency to gain weight when he’s not preparing for a fight, which he believes justifies the matchup.
“In the offseason, that boy looks like a blimp, and he’ll come up to my weight class and I’ll wallop him,” Paul said. “He’s too small when he cuts weight. When he doesn’t cut weight, he’s a f*cking horseshoe.”
While discussing the billionaire matchup with his podcast co-hosts, Paul agreed that the fight between Musk and Zuckerberg is unlikely to happen. But if the tech giants and the UFC were to see it through, Paul believes there would need to be more than one drawing interest.
“They’re going to need to stack the undercard,” Paul said. “That’s why I’m throwing my at in because being honest with you, no offense to these boys, it’s going to be pathetic. That fight will be pathetic. Highly entertaining, but come on.”
