He took on former Bellator fighter AJ Agazarm at one of the UFC gyms and got submitted in the second round of their clash.
It was 2017 and Paul wasn’t exposed to combat sports back then. After stuffing Agazarm’s few takedown attempts, the fight eventually went to the mat where the former Bellator star secured the full mount position.
Agazarm unleashed heavy ground and pound as Paul did his best to defend himself. Hoping to scramble out of danger, the YouTuber desperately moved his legs but to no avail.
In the second round, Agazarm shot for a single leg takedown and Paul was immediately on his back. The 31-year-old BJJ specialist successfully locked Paul’s left arm between his legs, which forced him to tap.
