In the world of combat sports, Logan Paul, a renowned influencer, has recently been seen showcasing his grappling skills during training sessions with UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya in his Puerto Rican camp. Despite not clinching a victory in his previous boxing matches, Paul has gained significant attention and respect for his performances, successfully making the transition from influencer to fighter over the past five years.

With a desire to venture into mixed martial arts (MMA), Paul has engaged in discussions with Bellator president Scott Coker and even expressed interest in securing a UFC fight during a podcast appearance with Dana White. Both Logan and his brother Jake Paul have a solid wrestling foundation, having honed their skills in the renowned wrestling state of Ohio during their high school days. Logan, in fact, briefly competed in college.

Recently, footage has surfaced showing the social media star training alongside Adesanya on the mats, accompanied by Alexander Volkanovski and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt Craig Jones. The respected trio joined Paul in Dorado, where a snippet of their training session was shared on Instagram.

Volkanovski posted a picture of the four men after training, captioning it, "Good session in the books." In a lighthearted response, Paul jokingly added, "'good session'? Yeah right, they murdered me!" Later, he shared his own pictures and videos, humorously stating, "they tired me out" alongside a photo of him and Adesanya.

As a prominent sponsor of the UFC, Paul co-owns the energy drink Prime, along with fellow YouTube boxer KSI. He has consistently expressed his desire to step into the octagon and has discussed the possibility with UFC president Dana White during an episode of Impaulsive. White, acknowledging Paul's background in wrestling and boxing, inquired about his jiu-jitsu experience. Upon hearing that Paul indeed has some jiu-jitsu training, White responded, "I'm not saying no."

During his high school years, Paul excelled as a high-level wrestler but chose to drop out of college to pursue a career in Hollywood's entertainment industry. Alongside his brother, he gained a massive following and made his boxing debut in 2018. Although Jake has primarily focused on boxing, Logan has ventured into various entertainment avenues. Most recently, he has found success in professional wrestling as part of the WWE, a path that has proven more fruitful than his boxing endeavors, where he faced a draw and a loss against KSI, followed by an unscored exhibition bout against Floyd Mayweather, which went the distance.
