Transitioning himself from a social media persona to a prize-fighter, Paul has had several feuds with multiple UFC personalities.

In a chat with FightHype.com, He said, “I think it’s cool what he is doing. I really do. Like, I became a fan of him because even though I do respect my boss, they gotta hear it from other people. I respect Dana White. But it’s also good that somebody is bringing that up.”

A few days back, UFC fighter Sara Alpar claimed she didn’t have enough funds to continue her combat career. So, she urged for donations and that’s when Jake Paul voiced his support. He took to social media and offered help to the MMA fighter. This particular move earned him enough appraisals from the fight fans.

While UFC President Dana White didn’t bother to react to the situation, ‘The Problem Child’ clearly took a dig at the MMA promotion by offering his unexpected assistance to Sara Alpar. Besides, vocal support towards Jake Paul from Henry Cejudo might have strengthened the Internet celebrity’s grasp over the combat community.

Henry Cejudo favors Jake Paul against Tyron Woodley

3-0 as a pro, Paul will face former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley on August 29. Woodley is a 5X MMA champion and one of the best fighters in the world.

The two-division UFC titlist backed Paul to beat Woodley in a boxing clash. Relying on Paul’s training session with world champion boxers, Cejudo said that Woodley could have relished an advantage in an MMA bout. However, as the pair will collide in a squared circle, ‘Triple C’ showed an unfamiliar opinion.
