Conor McGregor confronted Logan Paul over the rumoured $250 million fight in an awkward encounter.
Whilst the Irish MMA star hasn’t fought in a while, his sharp, banterous tongue is still going strong.
During a bus ride to Donald Trump’s inauguration in Washington DC, the Paul brothers - Jake and Logan - had an unexpected run-in with McGregor.

At first, things seemed friendly enough. Photos of the three surfaced on social media, showing smiles all around.
However, Logan’s vlog from the day titled 'Face to Face with Conor McGregor' tells a different story.
The video posted on Logan's YouTube channel shows the former UFC champion confronting him and his brother over the fight - which McGregor previously agreed to do in India.

“You kept your mouth shut, you did. I thought we were going to get the fight going?” McGregor said as all three crossed paths.
He also claimed that Logan is being 'controlled' by the WWE and remarked: "Bring it home for me."
McGregor also floated the idea of the fight being at 190 or 195 pounds which is either a Super Middleweight or Cruiserweight fight.
“Here’s the deal, I’m going to slap the head off the two of yous and KSI,” McGregor threatened. “Yous are mixers to me, side jobs. A little side job, yeah?”

But Logan fired back with a witty response: “You can’t even do your main job, how you gonna do a side job?”
McGregor was the one who initiated the bout between him and Logan. 2025 would make a good year for a comeback as it's been almost four years since the UFC superstar's last competitive match.
His last fight was at UFC 264 in July 2021 when he broke his leg during a trilogy bout against Dustin Poirier.

This news follows a civil lawsuit that was filed against McGregor last week where a woman accused him of sexual assault during the 2023 NBA Finals in Miami.
The 49-year-old claims McGregor assaulted her in a bathroom at the Kaseya Center in Miami during Game 4 of the Heat vs. Nuggets series on June 9, 2023.
Filed Tuesday in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida, the lawsuit alleges that McGregor 'intentionally engaged in unlawful sexual contact' without the woman's 'consent or permission.'
The lawsuit also alleges that the staff and security of the arena committed gross negligence and is seeking 'medical treatment costs and compensatory damages' from the venue and McGregor.
