McGregor was referring to UFC president Dana White – who publicly dismissed the boxing match – and the fact that Logan has starred in WWE since 2021. Now, the former MMA champion has gone into more depth on why the fight collapsed, despite UFC and WWE having the same owners: TKO Group Holdings.

In December, reports circulated that former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor was in negotiations to box WWE star Logan Paul in India for a massive payday. According to McGregor, UFC shut down the potential boxing match.

It was business savvy and business sense to make the fight happen, or should I say, the glorified spar happen, and in between this wait, this waiting period that we find ourselves in before I can get back to the octagon.
