Conor McGregor finally ran into the Paul brothers as the pair were seated together heading to Donald Trump’s inauguration.
The trio are in Washington, DC to witness Donald Trump being sworn in for his second Presidency at the United States Capitol. And for some reason they were placed right beside each other in a bus on the way to the event.
McGregor sat beside Jake and Logan Paul’s mother Pam Stepnick during the bus journey and even posed for photos with the duo. All the while, there are reportedly behind the scenes talks for a fight between the elder sibling and the UFC legend for later this year in India.

Conor McGregor comes face-to-face with Logan and Jake Paul
The internet exploded this afternoon when Jake Paul shared a series of photos of himself with his brother Logan and Conor McGregor to social media. The pair took a selfie and one posed photo, all while boarding a bus to head to Donald Trump’s inauguration.
Jake and McGregor are outspoken supporters of President Trump, while Logan keeps his political views closer to his chest. However, the elder Paul brother has had the 45th President on his podcast Impaulsive during the election run.
McGregor and the younger Paul brother have been on a collision course for years, although the Irishman tends to be dismissive of his callouts. But they seemed friendly as they posed for photos, albeit with Logan making a cheeky dig.
Logan tweeted that there had been a “Major plot twist,” while Jake joked that the “Inauguration is going great”.

After the initial photos were posted, Nelk Boys frontman Kyle Forgeard posted a video to his Instagram story showing the comical situation going down next to him. He noted that it may be an ‘interesting’ journey given the trio’s history.
Forgeard asked them if they were ‘best friends’, to which they laughed and McGregor appeared to be receptive. “Alright we’ve got an interesting bus ride to the inauguration here,” the social media star told fans, before turning the camera around.
He then asked if they were ‘a couple best friends?’, and McGregor replied “That’s how we do it.” However, Logan then leaned in towards the camera and appeared to say “I’m gonna kill him,” alluding to a proposed fight between the duo.
Conor McGregor claims to have made ‘preliminary agreement’ to fight Logan Paul
What made the pictures so interesting to fans was the news last month that McGregor seems to be interested in a fight between he and Paul. He told followers on X last month that he has even made an agreement to face the elder brother in India next year with the bout funded by the Ambani family.
“The rumors of a bout with Topurio [Ilia Topuria] are false. I am in preliminary agreements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India. I have agreed. I will then seek my return to the Octagon,” McGregor announced in a tweet.
He has since reposted a number of reports that the pair are in talks for a split of a $500million purse offering.
