Logan Paul was almost "split in half" by UFC champion during training session

Logan Paul felt like his body was almost "split in half" whilst grappling with UFC champion Alexander Volkanovski.

The YouTube star spent time on the mats with featherweight king Volkanovski and middleweight champion Israel Adesanya at his base in Puerto Rico. Volkanovski and Adesanya recently became the first two UFC fighters to officially receive a sponsorship from Prime Energy, the immensely popular hydration drink owned by Paul and his business partner KSI.

Paul admitted Volkanovski got the better of him in the grappling session despite the UFC champion being considerably smaller than him. The YouTuber said of Volkanovski on his Impaulsive podcast: "You're the best in the world at what you do, I got to experience it. You are so strong and dominant, it's like I knew it going into it. You put me in a body lock and I felt like you could have tightened your legs so much and literally split me in half, I'm not doing BJJ again."
