Logan Paul issues fresh callout to Paddy the Baddy

Logan Paul has previously labelled the UFC fighter a ‘loudmouth’

Logan Paul has issued a fresh call to Paddy Pimblett, a.k.a Paddy The Baddy, to fight him in the Octagon.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer has previously spoken of his desire to fight Pimblett, and now he’s called out the Liverpudlian again.

Appearing on the True Geordie podcast, Paul said still wants to compete in the UFC, despite having no experience in the sport.

He said that if he entered UFC, he would want to fight someone who can sell tickets and that he believes Pimblett would fit the bill.

He told the podcast: “I’m taking out Paddy The Baddy dude, I’m taking him out. Upkick to the jaw!”

Pimblett is next scheduled to fight in the Octagon at UFC London on July 23. ‘The Baddy’ is unbeaten in his two UFC appearances and has not ruled out fighting Paul.

Responding to Paul’s initial callout back in April, the fighter said: “He knows who the boy is, doesn’t he?, He knows who will put bums on seats, lad. I can’t see him mentioning anyone else. I know he’s a lot bigger than me but I don’t think it really matters to be honest.

“I think I’d submit him quite easily and quite quickly but you never know, anything can happen in a fight. If Logan Paul ever does want the fight, lad, I’m open to hearing what numbers he’s coming at us with.”

In the same episode of the True Geordie podcast, Paul also spoke of his fears about turning bald.

But it sounds like he was in no doubt about the solution, saying: “I’m going to Turkey baby, yeah I’m plugging my scalp up, I don’t give a f**k.”
