According to the well stated comment of @Nilknarf, if $f^2=(f)^2$ then for $I=[0, + \infty)$ and $f(x)=x$ we have the counterxample.

For a proof of this counterexample we can use the sequential property of uniform continuity by taking the sequences: $$x_n=n + \frac{1}{n}$$ $$y_n=n$$

If the O.P wants the case where $f^2=fof$ then we know that the composition of uniformly continuous functions is uniformly continuous.
