Will Logan Paul fight in the octagon after WWE-UFC merger? Recent Ariel Helwani interview hints possible future move

Logan Paul continues to put on spectacles that entertain fans by showcasing his athletic ability and using his large following to bring more attention to his events. Also, one has to wonder whether he has his sights set on competing in the octagon.

Paul recently returned to the ring at WrestleMania, where he put in a great performance in a losing effort against Seth Rollins. In the days leading up to the match, he spoke with Ariel Helwani, who interviewed him for BT Sport.

Earlier today, it was announced that WWE and UFC will be merging after Endeavor acquired a majority stake in the sports entertainment leader. Based on 'The Maverick's current status with WWE as well as his Prime energy drink serving as the official sports drink of the UFC, perhaps it could lead to him making his octagon debut.

One name that the social media influencer has been linked to is heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury. Paul told Helwani that he would be open to an MMA fight and believes that he would have a great chance at defeating Fury because of his wrestling background.

"I don't really care how big he [Tyson Fury] is. If you have not wrestled or done any ground work, I don't care how big you are, you better land the first two punches that you throw and they better knock me out."

It would be interesting to see whether Fury would agree to an MMA bout against Paul as he could arguably fight former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou in an MMA bout instead of the social media influencer who hasn't competed in the sport.

Logan Paul's WrestleMania moment goes viral

Logan Paul has done a great job in adapting to pro wrestling in only a year with WWE.

At WrestleMania, his accidental frog splash on his Prime business partner, KSI ended up going viral. During his match with Seth Rollins, KSI, who was dressed as Prime mascot, attempted to capture the moment of 'The Maverick' putting the former WWE champion through the announcer's table.

It backfired as Rollins pulled KSI down and Logan Paul put him through the table with a frog splash instead. The video went viral on WWE's Twitter account as it has over four million views.
