Sean O’Malley says Logan Paul can give Conor McGregor a tough test

With Conor McGregor and Logan Paul reportedly in negotiations for a mega showdown in India, the combat sports community has started discussing who would win a potential boxing bout.

And with the pair, both having fought Floyd Mayweather, Sean O’Malley is using their mutual opponent to give his stance on how he thinks the fight might go.

During an episode of The Suga Show, he said: “Wasn’t Logan and Floyd pretty close? Logan is a big motherf***er. Floyd is the best boxer in the world. And it was somewhat close. And, Floyd pieced up Conor a little bit.”

His co-host, Tim Welch, pointed out that while many may view the content creator as the bigger man, ‘The Notorious’ has increased in size since the last time he saw him compete.

“The MMA coach said: “We always remember the old Conor, but Conor is a solid 185 pounds, possibly 190. When we saw Logan at Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson, he said he weighed 190 pounds. He wasn’t nearly as stacked as you’re used to seeing him in the WWE. He is tall. Ithink that’s a competitive fight.”

O’Malley agreed: “I do too. I would love to see Conor come back and starch someone in the UFC. If I could pick anything, I want Conor to come back, f***ing walk out, hit someone with a left-hand, and then jump on the cage.”

Jake Paul gives Logan Paul extravagant Christmas present as famous brothers forget about Conor McGregor drama

While ‘The Maverick’ could be on the cusp of a huge clash with Ireland’s greatest ever mixed martial artist, on Christmas day, he forgot about fighting, and instead, enjoyed some quality time with family.

Enjoying the festivities, the social media star danced the night away with his loved ones, while Christmas lights glistened in the background.

He also posted a picture of the present Jake Paul bought him. And it looks like it cost ‘The Problem Child’ a fortune.
