UFC CEO Dana White completely ignored Logan Paul’s offer to fight at UFC 300.
The WWE superstar and YouTuber-turned-boxer revealed on his Impaulsive podcast that he reached out to White about competing on the historic card, but never received a response.
Logan Paul’s Attempt to UFC 300
Paul, who has previously fought in high-profile boxing matches against KSI, Floyd Mayweather, and Dillon Danis, has long expressed interest in trying his luck in MMA.
Speaking with interim Tom Aspinall, Paul shared that he texted White offering to fight on the undercard at UFC 300, held at the Las Vegas Sphere in April 2024.
“I told Dana for UFC 300, I texted him, ‘Hey man, consider me available to fight on the undercard in The Sphere.’ Yeah, they basically completely ignored me, which I think spoke volumes.”

Despite the cold shoulder, Paul remains open to the idea of stepping into the octagon under the right conditions.
“I haven’t bothered him about it since. But I think for the right fight, the right amount of money, man, I’m an entertainer at the end of the day.”
Logan Paul Blames CM Punk
Paul believes CM Punk’s failed MMA career.
The former WWE Champion made a much-hyped transition to the UFC but suffered two one-sided losses, leading many to question whether pro wrestlers belong in MMA’s premier promotion.
“He f—– it up,” Paul said about Punk. “He f—– it up, and after that Dana was like, ‘I’m never doing this again.’”
However, Paul believes that his skill set is far more suited for MMA than Punk’s.
“But dude, I’m not CM Punk. He’s a great wrestler, not a UFC fighter. I think I would be a much better UFC fighter than I would just a boxer. My skill is wrestling. I’m a wrestler.”
What’s Next for Logan Paul?
Despite the UFC snub, Logan Paul remains firmly in the picture in WWE, where he is currently being set up to face AJ Styles at WrestleMania 41.
He is set to appear on the March 31st episode of Monday Night Raw from London, England.
