After making his WWE in-ring debut this past weekend, Logan Paul is now talking about a potential UFC fight and he has even outlined who he would like to fight — this and much more on Wednesday's social media roundup.
Logan Paul reveals who he wants to fight in the UFC
Recently, Logan Paul has been expressing his desire of competing in the UFC.
Paul had the UFC president Dana White on his podcast last month and when he asked White to give him a fight in the UFC, White did not decline and seemed to entertain the idea.
After making his WWE in-ring debut this past weekend at Wrestlemania Saturday, you would think that Paul would slow down and focus on one sport, however that is not the case.
Paul did an interview today and he revealed that if he was to fight in the UFC, he would love to fight Paddy 'The Baddy' Pimblett.
Check out the video below to see Paul explain why he wants to fight the Scouser.

Paul explained that Pimblett's talking ability and star power along with his weight gain when he isn't in camp are the reasons why he wants to fight him.
Even though the fight is extremely unlikely to happen, Pimblett responded to Paul on Twitter.
Everyone loves talking about the bad man ---- nice one fella @LoganPaul ---- https://t.co/ATkcW14v4w

Pimblett didn't take the call-out to heart and actually thanked Paul for mentioning him.
Is Paul vs Pimblett a fight you could actually see happening or do you think it is as unlikely as a majority of people think?
