Logan Paul’s Fighting Career
Despite attributing a lot of his global fame to his meteoric rise on the YouTube platform, Logan Paul has since gone on to increase his notoriety through a number of other ventures. It is no secret that Paul has an athletic streak, finding success at a young age in wrestling and recently becoming one of the leading names of the influencer boxing scene.
Logan’s two high-profile boxing matches against popularUK YouTuber KSIwere some of the biggest pay-per-view events that the industry has seen. With the star even going on to fight boxing world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr in an exhibition match in June 2021, Logan Paul’s presence within the world of combat sports is a rapidly growing one.

The star has already appeared as a playable character within the recentWWE 2K22, meaning a potential appearance in the upcomingUFC 5is not far-fetched whatsoever.
Logan Paul’s Prime and a UFC 5 Appearance
This comes close to the news that theUFC and WWEwill be merging to form a new company in the near future, re-writing the current face of the combat sport industry. With Logan Paul already having significant ties to both WWE and the UFC, the merging of these two entities is a move that works perfectly in the YouTuber’s favor.

As the two companies merge and Paul becomes even more established within the world of fighting, it seems like a no-brainer that EA would decide to heavily feature Paul in its upcoming title. Paul already has experience as an in-game fighter in the likes ofWWE 2K, and has even stated his desire to fight in MMA-style matches in the near-future. When considering all these factors, the likelihood that Logan Paul appears withinUFC 5seems extremely high.
