Logan Paul signs with UFC parent company WME

YouTube star and professional boxer Logan Paul has signed with UFC parent company WME, The Hollywood Reporter revealed on Thursday.

Paul signed with WME after a six-year stint with rival American talent and sports agency CAA. WME bought the UFC for $4 billion in 2016, however, the deal was only recently finalized.

Paul has long flirted with a move to MMA and believes he would make a great fit in the UFC given his background in collegiate wrestling. He and his younger brother Jake Paul are two of the hottest commodities in combat sports right now, with both men taking the boxing world by storm despite only having a combined four professional fights.
