Logan Paul begs Dana White not to confuse him with brother Jake after UFC promoter slams brothers as ‘gimmick’

LOGAN PAUL has begged UFC president Dana White to stop confusing him with his younger brother Jake.

YouTube superstar Jake has been gunning for a boxing match with former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor, who he called out multiple times last month.

Jake’s attempts to land a fight with The Notorious irked White, who recently accused the 23-year-old and his brother of creating a gimmick.

Logan is gutted to have been blasted by the UFC chief, saying on his podcast: “He [Jake] pissed off Dana White.

“Now Dana has grouped us together which sucks. I love Dana White, I love the UFC. Now Dana thinks we’re the same person. We’re so different.”

Logan, who is gearing up to box Floyd Mayweather next month, insists he’s a big fan of the UFC and admits he has ambitions of one day fighting in the promotion.

He added: “I love the UFC fights. I want to do a UFC fight one day. I’m not saying now, let me get my skills up.

“Dana, take me back. I’m not Jake! Please.

“Bro, he’s given me tickets to go to UFC fights before. F**k! F**k! I love Conor McGregor, dude.”

Logan may very well dream of competing in the UFC, but it’s unlikely White will ever let him set foot inside the cage.

White said of the Paul brothers: “Neither one of those guys can fight. It’s all a big gimmick.

“Like I said in a press conference, there’s a market for that. If people are dumb enough to spend their money watching that s**t, I don’t know what to tell you.

“Good luck to them. I care less what that guy (does). I get it. He’s trying to make some money and is doing his thing.

“There are people who want to spend money on that. I’m not that guy.”
