For quite a while now, Jake Paul has been a champion for the rights of UFC fighters when it comes to getting paid a fair wage. Jake Paul had previously blasted Dana White over UFC not paying their fighters properly. He also gave props to Dana White for an interesting reason.
For several months, Jake Paul has taken shots at Dana White and there are no signs of him stopping. Dana White fired back at Jake Paul by stating that Paul is only starting a fight with him to get noticed and that he has a short shelf life. Paul would then clown Dana White in a huge way.
Jake Paul has heavily criticized Dana White over UFC Heavyweight Champion Francis Ngannou’s current contract situation in the UFC. The Problem Child went all out to promote an anti-Dana White hashtag. He even released a diss track earlier this year.
While speaking to Ariel Helwani on the MMA Hour, Jake Paul gave Dana White huge props for conducting his work as the UFC President.
“This is why boxing is dying because these fights aren’t mandatory no one can force them to do these fights like they can in the UFC. So that’s why I give the UFC props, that’s why I give Dana White props”
While there is certainly animosity between the two, there is also some form of mutual respect. Regardless, we’ll have to wait and see whether the two will end up working together or not one day.
