Logan Paul challenged UFC champions Israel Adesanya and Alexander Volkanovski to a wrestling match

Not too long ago, Logan Paul had a chance to spar with two of the MMA industry’s most decorated fighters. Paul, a popular influencer and boxer, share snippets of his wrestling rounds with UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya and featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski. The footage, which originated from The Mac Life, was a thrilling reminder of Paul’s budding interest in mixed martial arts, even as he remains committed to WWE.

In April, the 28-year-old entertainer faced WWE heavyweight champion Seth Rollins at WrestleMania, sparking renewed speculation about his future plans. Although he’s acknowledged that his wrestling stint is far from over, Paul has hinted at his ambition to explore MMA. His last boxing match took place in June of this year when he fought Floyd Mayweather Jr. in an exhibition bout, which ended in a draw. Meanwhile, his younger sibling Jake Paul is scheduled to go up against Nate Diaz in August.

Volkanovski, on the other hand, is slated to defend his title in a unification bout against interim champion Yair Rodriguez in the main event of UFC 290 next month, while Adesanya is expected to headline UFC 293 in September, a highly anticipated event that will mark the promotion’s return to Sydney, Australia.
