Rey Mysterio on Logan Paul

A few weeks ago, in an interview with "The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani", Rey had only words of praise for Logan Paul and the progress he made in a short period of time. "The buzz was a little standoffish and cold [toward Paul at first].

I think slowly … the more he was around, and the more we saw him taking this to heart, then we started to give that respect. And that’s how it is — you embrace, you know? People that walk in from another world into our sport … that happens in any sport.

But he has gained the respect of all of us. We see how much he appreciates [this industry] and the work he puts in to go out there and perform”. - Mysterio said. Dillon Danis' boxing victory was an opportunity for Logan Paul to call out Rey Mysterio.

“He had just won a fight, his octane level was at a peak, and he felt very comfortable. Now, the question is, will he be comfortable whenever we decide to make this match?”- Rey concluded.
