On episode #322 of the Impaulsive podcast, Jorge Masvidal gave his thoughts on a matchup between Logan Paul and Paddy Pimblett. According to Masvidal, Logan Paul would win against Pimblett in an MMA bout. The YouTuber-turned-boxer has wrestling credentials, along with some boxing experience.
Jorge Masvidal was asked by co-host Mike Majlak for his thoughts on Paddy Pimblett, to which ‘Gamebred’ said that he found the Liverpudlian to be entertaining. Alluding to Pimblett’s current skill set, however, Masvidal said that he doesn’t think that ‘The Baddy’ is on a world championship level.
Here’s what Jorge Masvidal said when asked whether Logan Paul would beat Paddy Pimblett in an MMA bout:
“Yeah [I think Logan Paul beats Paddy Pimblett in MMA]. F**k yeah! He [Logan Paul] has the wrestling, bro. English people can’t wrestle, bro.”
Majlak then asked Masvidal his thoughts on No.1 bantamweight contender Sean O’Malley, to which ‘Gamebred’ answered:
“I think he’s good. [He’s a] great athlete. I did see him when he fought [Marlon] ‘Chito’ Vera, which is another guy I love a lot – a good friend of mine. He got hurt, and then he couldn’t continue, right? So, going forth – is he a little fragile or something? Not like mentally, maybe, but physically – is he not as sturdy as everybody else? That’s something [that] you got to wonder [about] right?”
The podcast aired earlier in April this year. Since then, Paddy Pimblett has beaten Jordan Leavitt at UFC Fight Night 208 and Jared Gordon at UFC 282. Sean O’Malley fought Pedro Munhoz to a draw at UFC 276 and won a split decision against Petr Yan at UFC 280.
Masvidal hasn’t fought since losing to friend-turned-bitter rival Colby Covington at UFC 272.
