The feud between Jake Paul and Dana White has been the talk of the fighting world for some time now. And Sean O’Malley is the latest to talk about it.
Both men have been having a back-and-forth for a long time, but it recently escalated. While ‘The Problem Child’ has repeatedly brought up the topic of fighter pay in the UFC, White has just shot him down. However, this time, Paul upped the scales.
Happy new year @danawhite. Here is a real challenge for you…

In a tweet, the YouTuber turned boxer asked the UFC President to increase the minimum fighter pay per fight and give them 50 percent of the annual revenue. The 24-year-old also asked White to give the fighters long-term healthcare and if he accepts, he would retire from boxing, sign a one-fight contract with the UFC and fight Jorge Masvidal.
The UFC head honcho responded to the challenge and berated Paul and his manager. However, as he didn’t respond to the demands put forth by the undefeated boxer, it led to Paul offering a modified deal.

While many agree with the demands made by Paul, UFC bantamweight Sean O’Malley agrees with White‘s stance. In a recent episode of TimboSugarShow, he talked about the feud and took the side of the UFC President.
He said, “Dude, like I don’t even blame him. It’s like some of these f**king people have zero following. They’re not making the UFC one hundred thousand. I mean, they’re not making the UFC fifty thousand. They’re not making the UFC any money, really. But that’s just from a business perspective. From Dana’s business perspective, and I can see that.”
Sean O’Malley shuts down Cody Garbrandt’s callout
Cody ‘No Love‘ Garbrandt recently made his flyweight debut at UFC 269 and suffered a knockout loss at the hands of Kai Kara-France. Garbrandt, who is 1-5 in his last six fights, said that he felt great at 125 but hopes his next fight can be against ‘Suga.’

However, O’Malley isn’t interested in the fight. He said, “It doesn’t make sense for him to say that. I wonder if that’s CTE. He’s been knocked out five times in the last two years. That fight’s not happening, at least not next. He needs to–it just doesn’t make sense, dude. It literally just doesn’t make sense.”

O’Malley entered the rankings with his win over Paiva and is on his way up. Even though the unranked Garbrandt is still a huge name and beating a former champion would only do him good, it might not be a fight that would make sense right now.
