Logan Paul makes damning claim about Conor McGregor after meeting him at Donald Trump's inauguration party
Logan Paul has claimed he could beat Conor McGregor in a street fight in a scathing assessment of the UFC star following their meeting at Donald Trump's inauguration party.
McGregor linked up with Paul and his younger brother Jake at last month's party to celebrate Trump's US presidential election victory.
Footage circulated on social media of the trio travelling to the party together on a bus along with Paul's parents.
In the clip, McGregor challenged both Paul brothers to a fight and threatened to slap the pair along with KSI.

It followed reports McGregor was in talks to fight Logan in a $500m (£398m) boxing match in India.
Paul has reflected on his recent meeting with McGregor and held nothing back when commenting on the condition of the former two-weight UFC champion, who has not fought in the octagon since losing to Dustin Poirier in 2021.
"I watched back that footage of Conor talking s*** to us. He said he's going to slap me, Jake and KSI. We're fully laughing at what used to be one of the scariest, baddest men on the planet," Paul said on his IMPAULSIVE podcast.
"I actually felt sad. This is a statement that at one point would have actually made us feel fear and now two YouTubers are laughing at this washed-up fighter, who is unhinged and there's no truth in what he's saying."
After the podcast co-host suggested McGregor would still beat Paul in a street fight despite his current condition, the YouTuber-turned-boxer fired back: "You're actually insane, bro stop.
"He's not working anything. Two YouTubers just laughed in his face and he used to be one of the baddest men on the planet."
What has McGregor said?
Speaking last month, McGregor suggested a potential fight with Paul is unlikely to happen in the immediate future due to opposition from the UFC and Dana White.
"It is what it is," McGregor told 'The Schmo'.
"The UFC just aren't into it. The offer was there on the table, in writing. Both athletes will say, 'He's not fighting,' but both athlete are under the TKO banner. UFC, WWE both rising up.
"The stock price of TKO Holding Ground (is) through the roof. New market in India opened up and booming. It was business savvy, and business sense to make the fight happen. Or should I say the glorified spar happen.
"In between this waiting period that we find ourselves in before I can get back to the octagon, it made perfect sense on the calendar to go ahead with it. The UFC weren't into it.
"The WWE, I'm not sure what their interest in it was. I just knew the UFC weren't into it."
