Over the last few days, there has been ample discussion about YouTube star Logan Paul potentially trying his hand at MMA, perhaps even in the UFC’s Octagon. Paul, to remind, recently competed in a high-profile boxing match with fellow YouTuber KSI, and apparently also has a respectable background in wrestling.<\/p>\n
Paul himself discussed the possibility on Twitter, explaining that he found the idea exciting.<\/p>\n

“The thought of securing a fight in the [UFC] is exciting,” Paul said. “Could finally use my wrestling background… but i hear some other celebrities\/athletes want to catch these hands first?<\/p>\n
Logan Paul’s flirtation with the UFC has been met with mixed reactions. Some fighters, such as Sage Northcutt<\/a> and Daniel Cormier, seem to welcome the idea.<\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/sagenorthcutt\/status\/1035327107700686848<\/p>\n “Let me know when you wanna catch these hands,” the typically polite Northcutt said on Twitter.<\/p>\n Yo @LoganPaul<\/a> , I know a guy and he\u2019s barely getting started. @KyleCrutchmer<\/a> what you say? pic.twitter.com\/ddZaw3MHAh<\/a><\/p>\n — Daniel Cormier (@dc_mma) August 31, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
