Jake Paul has managed to garner a lot of attention in the combat sports world for his work in and out of this ring. Apart from registering stellar performances under the bright lights, Paul has also made waves in the media. ‘The Problem Child’ made a massive impact earlier today when he sent out a counter challenge to Dana White’s initial call-out.

White challenged Paul to agree to enter a testing pool for a duration of two years to be screened for steroids. However, Paul instead came in with his own offer and said he would step in to face Jorge Masvidal in the UFC’s octagon if a few conditions were met. Paul wanted White to increase fighter pay, offer long-term medical care and also to delve into revenue sharing with the fighter.

Jake Paul also capped off his challenge by reminding the MMA world that he was an ally, looking to make a change.

Dana White since took to social media and put Jake Paul’s challenge to bed. He ended up reinstating his initial provocation that Paul should undergo random steroid testing and he, in turn, would undergo random testing for cocaine. White also trolled Jake Paul for merely selling 65k PPV buy’s for his recent scrap against Tyron Woodley.

However, some fans have also questioned the sincerity attached to Jake Paul’s challenge. There is a subsect of the fanbase who believe Paul is going out of his way to chase clout.
