Jake Paul is undoubtedly one of the most controversial figures in combat sports. The YouTuber turned boxer has had beef with almost every top individual in the fight business. This is also the case with UFC CEO Dana White, with whom Paul has an ongoing dispute. With recent developments, ‘The Problem Child’ might look forward to changing the relationship in the future.

Paul and White’s beef goes way back to when Paul blamed the UFC head honcho for not paying his fighters adequately. This resulted in a full-fledged dispute extending over several social media exchanges. In a recent interview, Paul was asked whether he’s ready to mend his relationship with Dana White. According to the boxer, there is a possibility of him squashing the beef, but that will come at a price.

Now it’s time for him to pay his UFC fighters more. If he can agree to do that, then I’m more than down to sit down and have a conversation with him and work on our relationship like grown men.

Fighter Pay has always been an issue in the UFC, and Paul has talked about it for a long time now. However, as a businessman himself, Paul also mentioned that he has huge respect for White’s contribution to MMA. Paul is currently one of the biggest draws in boxing and has various other ventures in the fight business.

Over time, Paul has pursued famous UFC superstars like Nate Diaz, Conor McGregor, and Jorge Masvidal to quit the organization. He got the opportunity to fight Diaz in a boxing match last year, which Paul won by a unanimous decision. Regardless, Paul’s displeasure with MMA fighters is quite palpable.

Apart from the boxing bout, both Perry and Paul have talked about having fights in MMA as well as BKFC. However, Paul doesn’t think that will ever happen. During the recent press conference, Paul went on a rant calling out Perry, Conor McGregor, and other MMA fighters.

Shut the f**** up. The words of MMA fighters are f***** meaningless. You guys are all pu***** and you can't box for sh** and even I try to fight y'all in MMA, y'all won't do it. You and McGregor both b**** and won't fight me.

Paul has disagreed with numerous top MMA fighters over fighting inside the octagon. However, none of them materialized. After defeating Diaz, PFL offered the UFC superstar $15 million for an MMA fight versus Paul, which did not take place. Paul appears to have had enough, as evidenced by his recent outburst against MMA fighters.
