White is one of the best entrepreneurs in the sports industry. He put the UFC on the world map and always brings fresh additions to the promotion to entice the fans.
However, the UFC boss is currently having some differences with his heavyweight champion, which led to Jake Paul creating a diss track specifically for him.
Dana White has no reaction to Jake Paul’s diss track
White and heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou are having some issues regarding the latter’s pay. Hence, ‘The Problem Child’, who has had issues with the UFC head since his transition to boxing, saw this as an opportunity to taunt him.
However, Jake Paul took the trolling to an extreme level and released a diss track on the UFC boss. In the video, he also trolled names like Conor McGregor, Jorge Masvidal, and Nate Diaz.
The Ohio native wanted to compete against the UFC fighters, but White has always snubbed his demands. This became the reason for their feud. However, White has not yet reacted to the diss track.
After this nasty dig at the UFC boss, Paul’s dream to compete in the UFC may not materialize.
