Logan Paul claims he once would have feared Conor McGregor, but that’s no longer the case. Recalling a recent encounter during Donald Trump’s inauguration, Paul says McGregor, once a feared UFC champion, has become a shadow of his former self.
Speaking on his Impaulsive podcast, Paul revealed that he and his brother, Jake Paul, unexpectedly shared a bus with McGregor before the event. Tensions rose when McGregor threatened to “slap the head off” both Paul brothers and their longtime rival, KSI. However, instead of feeling intimidated, Logan and Jake laughed at the Irishman’s trash talk:
“He said he’s going to slap me, Jake and KSI and then you can see me and Jake like belly laugh. We’re fully laughing at what used to be one of the scariest, baddest men on the planet."

"As a person who used to be a big fan of Conor McGregor, like back in the day he pioneered crossover boxing, all of that stuff, I watched it back and I actually felt sad. I was like this is a statement that at one point would have actually made us feel fear and now two YouTubers are laughing at this washed up, cracked out fighter, who’s unhinged and there’s no truth in what he’s saying.”
