The Maverick hosted UFC Champion Tom Aspinall on the latest episode of his IMPAULSIVE podcast. During the conversation, Paul noted he was open to fighting in UFC. The 29-year-old claimed he even texted the promotion's CEO, Dana White, to let him know the same.

The former WWE United States Champion added that Dana White did not respond to his text message. Logan Paul claimed that although he never attempted to contact the 55-year-old again, he was open to entering the octagon for the right fight and money.

"I could get one for the right opponent. But it wouldn’t be a DDP, dude. I’m not fighting for a world title. Or f**k it, let’s get it [laughs]. [...] I did. I told Dana [White] for UFC 300. I texted him. I said, 'Hey man, consider me available to fight on the undercard in The Sphere.' Yeah, they basically completely ignored me [laughs], which I think spoke volumes. Haven’t bothered him about it since. But I think for the right fight, the amount of money, man, I’m an entertainer at the end of the day," he said. [H/T: Fightful]

Speaking on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet, the legendary actor claimed that the social media sensation was built for professional wrestling. He further referred to the latter as a natural heel. Sasso lauded Logan's impressive work while calling him a legitimate professional wrestler.

"He's built for it. He's such a natural heel. But also, you look at him, all the stuff he's ever done, you just remember as a kid on Vine he's jumping out of windows in college. He's already, like a beefy, athletic, acrobatic dude. It's shocking to see the stuff that he can do. He's got that new finisher that looks crazy. To me, that's one of the coolest, weird things. You can't even call it a crossover because he's legit a professional wrestler. He's a guy who's like, 'I'm gonna do this!''' he said. [H/T: CVV]
