Paulo Costa Believes Logan Paul Can Become a Professional Fighter

YouTube celebrity Logan Paul and UFC fighter Paulo Costa were recently involved in a fight.

Costa was attending the UFC 248 in Las Vegas that featured a fight between Israel Adesanya and Yoel Romero. Prior to the event, Paul visited the UFC Performance Institute where he fought Costa.

Paul, who has some wrestling experience with him, showed decent fighting skills. But against a top fighter, they were never going to be enough.

After his knockout in the ring, Paul had a practice session with Costa.

Paulo Costa believes Logan Paul can come to MMA

Logan is currently a YouTube star with over 20 million subscribers on the video sharing platform. But before becoming a YouTube sensation,  Paul was a young wrestler. The skills certainly showed up during his short fight against Costa. The UFC fighter was also impressed by the Logan’s performance.

“I did boxing sparring last morning with Logan Paul,” Costa said. “Logan Paul is a tough guy. He make my lip a little hurt. I’m a tough guy but he [is] also. We did a boxing spar without mouthpieces, mouth guards. We are tough guys. We’re not afraid to take some hits like Adesanya [is]. He’s scared. He avoided the fight [with Romero]. Me, no. Logan Paul not avoid fight.”

Costa also believed that Logan has the ability to become a professional Mixed Martial Artist.

“I think he can if he wants,” he said. “If he starts training and he’s serious about doing this, he can, because he’s talented.”
