UNCOVERED: Ufc champion backs logan paul to be successful in potential mma switch - The Untold Story

UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski believes YouTube star Logan Paul will eventually compete in MMA.

Paul, 28, competed at the highest level of intercollegiate athletics in wrestling and his skills to the test in a training session with Volkanovski and fellow UFC champion Israel Adesanya. Paul announced the pair had become the first two fighters to be signed to his immensely Prime Energy drink, which he owns along with fellow YouTuber KSI.

Prime is also the official sports drink sponsor of the UFC, meaning Paul has a good relationship with the organisation's president Dana White. Paul's combat sports experience and business ventures have linked him to a UFC move and he vowed to make his debut in the promotion for free if a heavily-discussed fight between tech bosses Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg does come to fruition.
