5 potential opponents for Logan Paul if he joins the UFC

#4. Logan Paul vs. Edmen Shahbazyan

UFC 244 Tavares v Shahbazyan

Paul vs Shahbazyan would see 'The Maverick' fight as the older athlete in this equation. 'The Golden Boy' has accumulated an 11-3 record at the age of 24.

While the Glendale Fighting Club athlete and training partner of Ronda Rousey looked incredibly promising on the way up, his blueprint was figured out and he's currently on the 3 fight losing streak. Regardless of this unfortunate slump, he's still young and improving.

If Logan Paul were to step inside the octagon, this fight could very well be a betting "pick 'em". Shahbazyan is the more well-rounded fighter, but Paul has the wrestling, a weapon that halted the rise of 'The Golden Boy'.

#3. Logan Paul vs. Sam Alvey

UFC Fight Night Vettori v Holland: Weigh-Ins

Sam Alvey is a company man through and through. Constantly taking replacement fights and short notice opponents, Alvey always makes the walk. The UFC has noticed this and kept him around, despite a recent string of losses.

Alvey has competed at both middleweight and light heavyweight, so even if a catchweight bout was necessary for Paul, this would make sense. 'Smile'n' would be happy to welcome the YouTuber into the UFC and entertain a stand-up battle against the boxer.

Despite these recent losses, Alvey has shown that he can still stand and trade with the younger fighters that are making their way up. Stylistically, this fight plays into both fighters' games, and it makes sense for the MMA newcomer to take on a fighter on a losing skid.
