Viral wrestling sensation Georgio Poullas<\/a> has set his sights on a major target, calling out\u00a0WWE star Logan Paul<\/a>\u00a0for an Ohio vs. Ohio wrestling showdown.<\/p>\n

Speaking to MMA Junkie following his dominant tech fall victory over Mugzy at RAF 5 in Sunrise, Florida, the undefeated content creator made his intentions clear. Poullas believes he’s uniquely positioned among RAF competitors to face the former United States Champion.<\/p>\n

“Not necessarily MMA, but you know, my series, I always verse the bigger guys,” Poullas explained to MMA Junkie. “Logan Paul<\/a>, he’s a lot bigger than me. He’s an Ohio wrestler. I think if me and him were to go at it with the size difference and his wrestling experience, you know, I think that would be exciting. I think it’d be very interesting and I think me more so than any other RAF wrestler makes sense for that match.”<\/p>\n

The callout carries weight given Poullas’s proven track record against larger opponents. The viral star built his following through his signature “$1,000 Takedown Challenge” at Venice Beach, where he remains undefeated against challengers who frequently outweigh him by significant margins.<\/p>\n

Both competitors share Ohio wrestling roots, adding a compelling home-state rivalry element to the potential matchup. While Paul has\u00a0transitioned from amateur wrestling to WWE<\/a>, Poullas has taken his grappling skills in a different direction, becoming a viral sensation through his street challenges.<\/p>\n

When asked about his future plans following the RAF 5 victory, Poullas remained open to possibilities. “You know, I really don’t know yet. I’m just kind of going with the flow. We’ll see,” he said. “I did enjoy wrestling here. The opportunities there if I want to take it. I got a few other opportunities as well. So, I’m just kind of playing by ear and we’ll see what happens.”<\/p>\n

The size difference between the two Ohioans would create the classic underdog narrative that has fueled Poullas’s viral success. For Paul, who recently committed to a full-time WWE schedule, an exhibition wrestling match against a proven grappler could offer a unique crossover opportunity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Viral wrestling sensation Georgio Poullas has set his sights on a major target, calling out\u00a0WWE star Logan Paul\u00a0for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":407511,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[570],"tags":[64,63,786,216018,15406,785,85],"class_list":["post-407510","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-fighting","tag-georgio-poullas","tag-logan-paul","tag-mma","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/407510","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=407510"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/407510\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/407511"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=407510"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=407510"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=407510"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
