Video: UFC middleweight Paulo Costa KO’s Logan Paul in sparring?

YouTube star Logan Paul recently headed to the UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas to spar with top middleweight contender Paulo Costa, and it didn’t end well for the 24-year-old.

Costa flattened Paul with a huge overhand right, and the American seemingly had no problem uploading the footage to his 20.7 million YouTube subscribers.

But here’s the thing: The knockout looks completely staged. Paul crumpled to the canvas as if he was performing in a professional wrestling ring, and Costa walked off without a care in the world — just like a WWE villain.

Check out the video below — where you’ll also get to see footage of Costa grappling with Paul on the mats — and decide for yourself.
