UFC veteran claims he almost broke Logan Paul's jaw in sparring session

UFC veteran Sam Alvey has told of how he once dropped Logan Paul during a sparring session, and nearly broke the YouTube star's jaw.

Logan and his brother Jake Paul began boxing in 2018 when they were called out for white collar boxing matches by KSI and his younger sibling Deji in Manchester. And in order to get the best preparation for their fight, they drafted in a host of names from the boxing and MMA worlds, including coach Milton Lacroix, boxer Niko Valdes and then highly-rated UFC fighter Alvey.

The fighter was recently released from the promotion after nine fights without a win including eight losses and a draw. And he is now angling for a fight with Logan's brother Jake, almost five years after he claims he wouldn't spar him after watching his older sibling take a beating during a sparring session.
