- He claimed a sparring session the pair agreed to during an Adin Ross livestream never happened and accused Topuria of ducking.
- Paul said he offered Paddy Pimblett $1 million and a private jet for a spar and reported getting radio silence in return.
- He floated MMA fights with Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov yet acknowledged UFC contracts make such matchups unlikely.
- Topuria is preparing to unify the UFC lightweight title against interim champion Justin Gaethje on the White House card, and no Paul–Topuria bout is scheduled as Paul’s record includes wins over ex‑UFC fighters and a 2025 TKO loss to Anthony Joshua.
