Few figures have stirred up as much controversy as Jake Paul in the world of combat sports. The YouTube star-turned-boxer has made waves not just in the ring but also in his outspoken criticism of the UFC. At the center of Paul’s crosshairs? None other than UFC CEO Dana White. But in a surprising turn of events, Paul’s recent comments have shed new light on this high-profile feud.
For years, fight fans have watched Paul and White trade barbs through the media. Their verbal sparring matches have become as entertaining as any UFC bout. However, Paul’s latest interview on the Full Send Podcast has revealed there might be more to this story than meets the eye.
“I think he [Dana White] has a great side of him. I’m sure we’d be friends maybe in this life, maybe in a different life. I just want fighters to get paid more, that’s it. $12,000 to fight? Even if they fought four times a year, that’s not enough to support their family,” Paul said.
Paul has been a vocal advocate for increased fighter compensation in recent years. He’s even put his money where his mouth is, once donating $5,000 to UFC fighter Sarah Alpar’s training camp fund. He pointed out that while the UFC is worth billions, new fighters often earn just $12,000 per fight.
This revelation adds a new dimension to the Paul-White saga. It’s not a simple tale of good versus evil but a complex debate about fair compensation in combat sports. Paul is preparing for his upcoming bout against Mike Tyson next. Meanwhile, fans are left to wonder whether White responds to Paul’s olive branch.

In a recent interview with TNT Sports, Dana White dropped a bombshell. The UFC boss declared he has harbored no hatred against Jake Paul anymore. It’s a statement that’s unexpected from the UFC boss. White went on to explain that he has simply stopped paying attention to Paul’s antics after his loss to Tommy Fury.
“I stopped paying attention to Jake Paul when he lost to [Tommy] Fury. When he fought somebody that was his age and actually boxed, he lost…I’m not shitting on the kid…I have no beef with him,” said White.
But don’t mistake White’s indifference for reconciliation. He is not exactly singing Paul’s praises, either. White criticized Paul’s boxing career, pointing out a familiar pattern of older, retired fighters that speaks volumes about his resume.
As this chapter in the Paul-White saga comes to a close, fight fans are left wondering what’s next. Will Paul respond to White’s dismissal? Will White truly stick to his guns and ignore Paul’s future endeavors? Only time will tell.
