“I did boxing sparring last morning with Logan Paul,” Costa said. “Logan Paul is a tough guy. He make my lip a little hurt. I’m a tough guy but he [is] also. We did a boxing spar without mouthpieces, mouth guards. We are tough guys. We’re not afraid to take some hits like Adesanya [is]. He’s scared. He avoided the fight [with Romero]. Me, no. Logan Paul not avoid fight.”
Put aside all the ridiculous social media stuff, Logan Paul finished fifth at states in wrestling in Ohio his senior year. Ohio is a powerhouse state for wrestling.
Doesn’t mean he’d be a great MMA fighter but he actually does have a legit wrestling pedigree. https://t.co/WqQIFwxdxh
