Jake Paul has put UFC president Dana White on blast.
Paul’s war of words with White dates back to before his fight with Ben Askren earlier this month. White said he would bet $1 million on Askren to beat Paul, which didn’t sit well with the Internet celebrity turned professional boxer.
“Dana, you claimed you would be $1 million on me losing,” Paul wrote. “Set up Askren to train with Freddie Roach. Gave him full access to the UFC [Performance Institute] and he still got his ass handed to him.”

Jake Paul himself may not realize this, but he just stood up for UFC fighters, including Jon Jones, in his attempt to clap back at UFC President Dana White.
At the UFC 261 post-fight press conference, Dana White made one thing perfectly clear regarding Jake Paul. He is not interested in ever doing business with him, and he classified Paul’s boxing career thus far as a “freak show.” Paul took to social media to issue a response to White, and the post was every bit as thought-provoking as it was venomous.
