YouTube personality Logan Paul’s foray into MMA continues to gain momentum. Earlier in 2023, his beverage company, Prime Hydration, secured a major deal with the UFC as their official sports drink. This partnership was followed by a surprising turn of events. Training footage surfaced online showing Paul working out alongside UFC champions Israel Adesanya and Alexander Volkanovski. Fans speculated that Paul might be prepping for his own MMA debut. However, Paul had a different strategy in mind.
He announced that Prime had secured sponsorship deals with both Adesanya and Volkanovski, a move that solidified Prime’s presence in the MMA world. Since that time, he’s usually seen in major fights held by the UFC. Moreover, at this event, another famous YouTuber who has the most subscribers as an individual content creator, Mr. Beast was also present alongside Paul.
Paul had his jaw dropped, literally, while all Mr. Beast could do was nod his head in disbelief when Della Maddalena knocked out his opponent. Well, the reaction of Logan Paul was what got the fans’ attention, since they thought that he was being extra dramatic for no reason.
