Jake Paul’s ongoing feud with the UFC and Dana White has been heightened with his recent win over former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley. Following the win, ‘The Problem Child’ stated that there are a number of potential opponents in mind. However, Paul has his eyes set on former friend turned foe, Jorge ‘Gamebred’ Masvidal.
In a recent interview, Dana White shared his thoughts on Paul trying to call out Masvidal, who is under contract with the UFC. White challenged Paul to take on a fight against Anderson Silva, who is a free agent at the moment and is winning fights. The UFC President also stated that Masvidal is not in the same category as Paul.

After that, when Paul was matched up against Woodley, he received no support from Masvidal, given Jorge Masvidal and Tyron Woodley are from the same management team and good friends as well.

Following the win, Paul turned on Masvidal for switching sides. ‘The Problem Child’ also called him out for a fight multiple times. However, as Masvidal is under contract with the UFC, the fight seems impossible.
