Jake Paul and Logan Paul have carved their places in the fighting world and sports entertainment, but that credibility from fellow fighters and owners hasn’t stopped them from occasionally stirring up the pot with their commentary. As such, the younger Paul is in the news again after making a shady comment about the UFC shortly after his brother Logan signed a major sponsorship deal with the organization.
Logan Paul still works at WWE, but even the electrifying reaction from fans following his appearance on Royal Rumble can’t stop him from doing business with the UFC as well. He accepted Twitter to announce that its Prime branded drink is now the company’s official sports drink. As the news spread, some UFC fans decided to try and troll Jake Paul, a well-known critic of UFC President Dana White, and Jake decided to respond with a response that could have angered the company and his brother:
Hey Anton…I always enjoy my brother’s achievements and while I have no part in his drink, I hope UFC will share the proceeds it receives with the fighters. https://t.co/mknMZYVHMkFebruary 1, 2023
It’s not the wildest thing Jake Paul has said about Dana White or the UFC, and he could have taken a much tougher approach by pointing out White’s more recent controversies. At the same time, it’s shocking to see the aspiring boxer comment on a massive sponsorship deal for his brother’s company, pointing to the often-criticized pay gap between the UFC and its fighters.
Logan Paul responded to his brother’s statement, but not with a warning or an angry tone. Instead, it seems Paul might be hinting that the Prime partnership could benefit UFC fighters in some way, though he didn’t elaborate further:
Who knows what Logan Paul has planned? It’s possible that UFC stars will be tapped for future Prime commercials or be eligible for endorsement deals. Per the UFC sponsorship statement, fans can expect a lot more Prime branding and merchandise starting with UFC 284, which is scheduled for Saturday, February 11. In addition to other changes, the UFC’s “red” and “blue” corners will be known as “Prime Hydration Recovery Zones.”
This massive partnership between Logan Paul and the UFC obviously opens the door to questions about whether he or his brother Jake Paul will ever step into the octagon to fight. As it stands right now, Logan Paul is a rising star in WWE and his brother Jake is establishing himself as a professional boxer.
However, that hasn’t stopped him from calling out UFC greats like Conor McGregor and even fighting other UFC stars outside of the confines of the fight organization. The Paul brothers appear to have a knack for navigating the martial arts world, so it wouldn’t be too surprising to hear that both are working on a future deal with Dana White for a fight in the UFC in the years to come. For now, both parties seem happy with the marriage of the Paul brand and the UFC via Prime.
Logan Paul is unlikely to join the UFC octagon as a fighter anytime soon, but he is expected to make an appearance at the upcoming WWE event WrestleMania 39. As for Jake Paul, he’s finally ready to take on Tommy Fury in a fight that was supposed to take place on Sunday 26th February.
