Before Logan Paul was fighting Floyd Mayweather in front of a stadium in Miami, he was very seriously considering a move into MMA, with British YouTuber Joel 'JMX' Morris touted as his first opponent.
Paul sat down for a meeting with Bellator boss Scott Coker and his team got in touch with JMX about a possible bout in the days after his brother, Jake Paul, made his professional boxing debut in Miami. The pair even met during the DAZN pre-show for Jake's bout with content creator AnEsonGib, but just weeks later, the world was locked down and talks never resumed.
Instead, Paul moved on to face Mayweather in an exhibition bout, while Morris ended up moving behind the scenes with his business, while also undergoing shoulder surgery and appearing on a reality show called Locked In. But with the world back to normal, the fight could be back on the table given that Paul's keenness for an MMA bout hasn't wavered.
