After teasing an announcement with the UFC president Dana White, Logan Paul finally unveiled the buzz-creating partnership. While the fans expected a potential fighting contract with the promotion given the nature of the teaser, the true announcement turned out to be a sponsorship deal. The announcement by the elder of the Paul brothers, who recently made his return to WWE, left the fans with a bitter-sweet taste. Also, the deal might not suit the younger half of the pair who recently signed with UFC’s rival PFL.

Markedly, the internet phenomenon took to his social media handles as he declared the upcoming sponsorship deal. The deal makes ‘Prime’, the brand co-founded by him and another famed YouTuber KSI, the official sports drink of the UFC.
