Conor McGregor’s tried to get in Logan Paul’s head with old-school trash talk and failed spectacularly
Conor McGregor and Logan Paul came face-to-face at Donald Trump’s inauguration.
Conor McGregor unleashed a whole lot of trash talk on Logan and Jake Paul when they came face-to-face but many feel as though the UFC star has lost it a bit.
McGregor and elder brother Logan have been rumoured to be squaring off in a huge $250 million boxing exhibition fight in India, while the Irishman has regularly got into it with the younger Paul sibling in heated social media spats over the years.
Earlier this week, McGregor and the Paul brothers were in the same vicinity after they were invited to be in attendance for Donald Trump’s inauguration as President of the United States.

On Monday, Jake shared a snap of he and his brother on the bus to the ceremony, with McGregor sat behind with their mother, Pam.
He captioned it, “Inauguration going great,” – with WWE star Logan quoting his post by writing, “Major plot twist”.
It looked like things had been nice and civil between the fighters but a recent vlog from Logan shows that while they behaved themselves at the big event, there was a bit of beef.
When they greeted one another, McGregor started off by saying, “It’s all sweet here” and telling Paul he “kept his mouth shut” when he “though the was gonna get the fight going”.
He then proceeded to tell Paul he is “controlled by the WWE” and later, when on the bus, claimed that he is going “slap the head off the two of yous and KSI”.
Continuing his early morning rant, the former two-weight UFC champion branded the Pauls as “nixers and side jobs” – though that prompted a sharp response from Logan, who said, “You can’t even do your main job!” and even joked about McGregor’s previous antics on a bus.
Although he’s been vocal online, Jake surprisingly remained quiet the whole time – but fans found McGregor to be “washed” with his insults.
One fan on X said: “Alright kinda cooked him there tbh.”
A second said: “You have to give it to Logan for that line ‘You can’t even do you main job!’ That was a good comeback!”
Another added: “That was a pretty quick cook.”
A fourth posted: “They legitimately couldn’t believe how ridiculous he was in person.”
A fifth wrote: “Damn Logan kind of owned with that last jab unfortunately.”
A final user stated: “10-8 from Logan Paul for the first time in his life.”
