The YouTuber-turned-pro-boxer Jake Paul never fails to take shot at UFC and President Dana White. This time around he posted a picture on his Instagram account and he was standing inside of what looked like a mockery of UFC octagon with ring girls having written ‘F**** you Dana White.’ He revealed that he would be dropping a diss track and alongside White, he tagged Conor McGregor, Jorge Masvidal, and Nate Diaz in the post. Jake’s girlfriend Julia Rose, who is in the photo also commented:
“Stock up on the tissues Dana.”

Dana White opens up on Jake Paul
The Paul Brothers and White share a contentious relationship. The duo have grabbed headlines for bashing White over low paychecks being offered in UFC. In an interview with BoxingScene.com, when White was asked if Paul has been too pesky for his liking, he talked down the severity of the feud.
“He really hasn’t been a thorn in my side,” said White. “I really don’t hate him like people think I hate him. He’s out there doing his thing. He’s a young guy. He’s got a fanbase and he’s trying to make some money. So I don’t ever fault anybody for that.”
After beating former UFC fighters like Tyron Woodley and Ben Askren in 2021, Paul has also pushed for crossover fights with active UFC stars like Conor McGregor and Jorge Masvidal but those fights has not been materialized yet.
When White was asked if his much-discussed Zuffa Boxing was still a priority to get off the grounds, especially since his MMA fighter are increasingly seeking boxing matches to satisfy their careers, and wallets, White said “it’s a tough one.”
He said:
“Obviously when there is this underground swell from the fans and from the media and the event builds up into something like Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor was, you saw how that worked out. I ended up doing it,” said White. “But I haven’t seen anything that big and that crazy since. I’m doing fights every Saturday, and I have a ton of up-and-coming talent. That’s what the UFC does. If there is a fight that can be made, that’s big, that my fans really want to see, I usually do it.”
