UFC star Paddy Pimblett thinks Logan Paul would switch up his energy if the pair met in person after butting heads online.
Social media sensation Paul has called out Pimblett on multiple occasions for a UFC fight despite their massive weight difference. Paul named 'The Baddy' as a potential opponent for his debut in the promotion and wanted the fight to take place on the undercard of Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk's fight that has since fizzled out.
"If he saw me in person, he’d probably lick my a*** wouldn’t he? I reckon if he saw me in person, he’d lick my a***. He’d want a picture and that, I’d fight him tomorrow he’s only a mushroom. He’s never had a fight in his life. People think Logan can wrestle just because he wrestled in high school," Pimblett told Happy Endings about Paul's callouts.

Paul 'retired' from boxing after picking up his first win in the ring last October against Conor McGregor's training partner Dillon Danis. Paul and his fiancee Nina Agdal were relentlessly trolled by Danis in the lead-up to the fight, but it was Paul who had the last laugh when Danis was disqualified for trying to choke him unconscious.

Although he doesn't fight in the UFC, Paul is linked to the promotion as the immensely popular Prime Energy drink that he co-owns with KSI is one of the promotion's main sponsors. Pimblett would have to fight 30lb above his natural weight class in order to fight Paul, who admitted the Scouser is a good fighter.
"Paddy the Baddy. They say he is the next Conor McGregor," Paul said on The MMA Hour. "He is super charismatic and entertaining as hell. He is on the come-up and young like me and has a real loudmouth. I like the way he can perform. "I think I might have him on my podcast and say to him straight up 'I would like to fight you in the UFC'."
"He could get up to 185lbs and I could get down to 185lbs for a UFC match. It's the only thing I don't know if I would win, he is a good a** fighter and I have never had an MMA fight. If I am doing it obviously I think I am going to win. He is still relatively new and he is young and entertaining so I think the fans will eat that s*** up. There is too much going on at the moment but yeah."
