WWE superstar and social media influencer Logan Paul has hit the mat with two UFC champions.

Paul has actually become a familiar name to MMA fans. While his brother, Jake, has competed against MMA legends inside the boxing ring, Logan has made headlines in the MMA world for different reasons. Back in 2020, Paul had a sparring session with UFC middleweight Paulo Costa. "Borrachinha" told reporters that he was impressed with Paul's wrestling.

The social media star even has his place in the UFC through a partnership. Paul's PRIME Energy drink is the official sports drink of the UFC.

Paul is once again making waves in the MMA scene without having a single bout in the sport. This time, he had a grappling session with UFC Middleweight Champion Israel Adesanya and UFC Featherweight Champion Alexander Volkanovski.
