Logan Paul, the United States Champion, has expressed a strong interest in fighting in the UFC, citing his wrestling background and the recent partnership between WWE and UFC as potential catalysts for such a crossover. In a series of statements, Paul mentioned that wrestling Kevin Owens was more challenging than his bout with Floyd Mayweather, highlighting the physical demands of wrestling. He also conveyed his respect for the sport, stating it's the hardest thing he's ever done. Paul's interest in a UFC fight was reiterated during conversations with WWE's Triple H and through various media outlets, suggesting a serious consideration for a future in mixed martial arts. Meanwhile, in the wrestling world, Paul is involved in a storyline leading up to WrestleMania, where he will defend his title in a Triple Threat Match against Randy Orton and Kevin Owens. This storyline saw Paul sending Austin Theory and Grayson Waller to ambush Orton and Owens, a plan that ultimately backfired, setting the stage for an intense showdown at the upcoming #WrestleMania event.
