Popular influencer and boxer Logan Paul has threatened to sue UFC star Paddy Pimblett over Prime Hydration, an energy drink owned by Paul and KSI. The energy drink has become very popular recently and it has even partnered with Arsenal Football Club.
Pimblett recently launched his own energy drink brand alongside Applied Nutrition. Ahead of UFC 282, the UFC star was seen promoting a new energy drink, ‘Body Fuel’. He made a video where he attempted to show that Prime Hydration contains a lot of sugar while his own energy drink has zero.

Paul took offense when he saw that video and in a recent podcast on his channel, threatened to sue Pimblett for spreading lies about Prime Hydration. Paul said:
“It makes Paddy look like a cheap sellout. It’s a pretty fu**ing embarrassing video. You are now associated with a cheap, copycat beverage brand, it looks almost identical to Prime.”
“And he lied in the video, he poured out sugar at one part to show Prime’s two grams of sugar and he poured a f*** load of it. I could technically sue the f*** out of you for that misinformation and that’s a fact. You fu**ing lied.”
Pimblett compared his own energy drink with Prime Hydration and concluded that Paul’s energy drink contains about two grams of sugar. At one point he poured out a certain amount of sugar which looked like more than two grams but claimed that Paul’s energy drink contains that amount of sugar.
Paul claims that Pimblett is spreading false information about Prime Hydration and he can take legal action against him. ‘Maverick’ also said that Pimblett has now become “a cheap sellout” and his energy drink is a copycat version of Prime Hydration.
Paddy Pimblett responds to Logan Paul’s threat over Prime energy drink
Shortly after the threat, Paddy Pimblett responded to Paul with a video he posted on Instagram. Pimblett tagged Applied Nutrition and proved with a scale that he took exactly two grams of sugar.
Pimblett launched his new energy drink brand Body Fuel with Applied Nutrition but Paul claims that Pimblett’s drink is a rip-off of Prime Hydration. ‘The Baddy’ did not respond to that allegation, but he clarified his previous comparison about Prime’s sugar content.
Pimblett wrote: “Just wanted to clarify a few things for you Logan Paul,” and tagged Logan Paul, and Prime Drink. He added: “Body Fuel is the best hydration drink going, get yours at Applied Nutrition.”

‘The Baddy’ claims that Body Fuel is the best energy drink available and it is tested for athletes. Paul has yet to respond to this video by Pimblett but the feud between him and the Paul brother is nothing new. They often go back-on-forth on social media and recently the UFC star accepted Jake Paul’s $1 million offer for a sparring session.
