Fans have registered their disagreement towards UFC fighter policy and especially the fighter pay debacle. Many believe this is the Jake Paul effect.

UFC President, Dana White, has engrossed himself in a fighter pay debate ever since the contract disputes between him and UFC heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou went public.

Hardly a day goes by when the UFC supremo isn’t held accountable for the alleged poor policies he practices. However, today, UFC fans decided to take it up a notch as they commented away their displeasure on Dana White’s Social Media.

Fans, on a post promoting UFC’s latest event, UFC Fight Night 200, voiced their opinions:

“If you don’t know Dana robbing his fighters now you know 🤣,” a fan modified Dana White‘s iconic one-liner.

“Do you know how to increase pay for your fighters,” someone asked Dana White.

“Stop tweeting and pay the fighters,” a fan said on Twitter.

“Jake Paul is Dana White Kryptonite. Well if you don’t know well now you know.@increasefighterspay#,” a fan made a comic reference.

“UFC will never be the same again & that’s sad. corporate greed is real. 😓🤦🏽‍♂️,” a disappointed fan said.

Fans did not limit the outrage to only Twitter, as UFC’s Instagram page also saw a similar outburst of fans’ emotions.

Things picked pace after YouTuber turned boxer, Jake Paul, voiced his opinion on the falling out of Francis Ngannou with the UFC.

Later, he also released a diss track against the UFC head honcho.
