Conor McGregor hasn’t stepped into a ring or Octagon in over two years, but his ability to light up the headlines hasn’t lost a step. The former two-divisionUFCchampion turned his attention to Logan and Jake Paul-and even KSI-during a fiery exchange on a shared bus ride to the U.S. presidential inauguration earlier this week. Naturally, McGregor’s signature trash talk was on full display.
The encounter comes amid growing rumors of a potential $250 million showdown between McGregor and Logan Paul in India. While nothing is set in stone, McGregor’s confrontation with the Paul brothers gave fans plenty to speculate about. And, in typical McGregor fashion, the interaction was as entertaining as it was intense.
It all started outside the bus when McGregor approached Logan, calling out his silence about their rumored fight. “You kept your mouth shut, you did,”McGregor said, leaning into his trademark bravado. “You’re giving all this Dana this, Dana that-you’re f*cking controlled by the WWE as well, bro.”Logan, ever the quick-witted showman, fired back, “You can’t even do your main job, how you gonna do a side job?”
Once inside the bus, McGregor turned up the heat. Standing just inches from Jake and Logan, he boldly declared, “Here’s the deal, I’m gonna slap the head off the two of yous, and KSI. All three … side jobs.” Logan didn’t miss the chance to poke fun, referencing McGregor’s infamous UFC 223 bus incident:“It’s crazy being on a bus with you. If there’s a dolly, it would be going through a window.”
McGregor’s comeback buzz: Building hype for a blockbuster return?
Despite the fiery words, the exchange was more about building hype than real hostility. McGregor hasn’t fought since breaking his leg during a trilogy bout against Dustin Poirier in July 2021, and this kind of buzz could set the stage for a lucrative comeback. A fight with Logan Paul, who’s juggling his WWE stardom and a recent chaotic win over Dillon Danis, would be a major spectacle in combat sports.
While no official fight has been confirmed, McGregor’s antics suggest he’s eager for a return to the spotlight. Whether it’s Logan Paul, Jake Paul, or even KSI, McGregor seems determined to remind the world why he’s one of the most entertaining figures in sports.
If this clash happens, the lead-up will certainly be as explosive as the fight itself.
