Dana White is finally reacting to the rumors of a potential Logan Paul-Conor McGregor fight in India. Two weeks ago, McGregor revealed that he was currently negotiating to fight in India.
“The rumors of a bout with topurio (sp) 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 wrote on X.
MMA website Fightbook MMA followed up with a report claiming that Paul and McGregor had agreed to a $500 million fight that would be split between the two fighters.

Conor McGregor is preparing for a monumental return to combat sports in 2025, stepping outside the UFC for what could be one of the biggest boxing events in history. McGregor, 36, has been confirmed to face WWE star and social media influencer Logan Paul in a mega-money showdown hosted by India’s royal Ambani family. Both fighters are reportedly set to earn an unprecedented $250 million each. The fight will take place at Mumbai’s iconic Wankhede Stadium as part of India’s “Visit India” tourism campaign.
Ahead of UFC 311, White was asked about a potential Paul vs. McGregor fight and immediately shot down by saying that he expects the Irish MMA star to fight in the UFC later this fall.
