Fans recently went into a frenzy after Logan Paul ripped up an audience member's Conor McGregor poster during one of his WWE appearances. Paul's actions came as a surprise to many after his seemingly cordial interaction with McGregor at Donald Trump's inauguration.
McGregor and Paul have been linked to a potential boxing match for a while. Last December, McGregor revealed that he's signed on for a fight against Paul in India in an event sponsored by the Ambani family. While Paul remained lukewarm on the notion, the initial hype fizzled out after UFC CEO Dana White completely dismissed the possibility.
Nevertheless, many believed McGregor and Paul had buried the hatchet after their friendly encounter at Trump's victory rally. However, Paul recently tore a kid's pro-McGregor poster during his recent WWE Raw entrance.
After @HappyPunch shared a clip of the incident in an X post, many flocked to the post's comments section to express their thoughts.

Conor McGregor explains UFC's stance on potential Logan Paul boxing match
Conor McGregor recently opened up about the UFC's reaction to him potentially facing Logan Paul in a boxing match. The Irishman explained that while he was down to fight the WWE superstar, his contracting promotion wasn't happy about it.
Speaking to The Schmo during an interview, the Irishman revealed that despite the financial prospects of such a fight for the UFC and its parent company, TKO, they were unwilling to sign off on the bout. He said:
"It is what it is. The UFC is just not into it. The offer was there on the table, in writing... Both athletes under the TKO banner. UFC [and] WWE both rising up. The stock price of TKO Holding Group through the roof. New market in India opened up and booming... The UFC weren't into it."
