Famous YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul, lands a nasty verbal shot at UFC president Dana White amidst the ongoing issue between the promotion and heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou.
‘The Predator’ is currently having differences with the UFC regarding his contract. He also has been expressing his interest in a boxing match with Tyson Fury. However, it is not possible under the UFC contract.
Hence, Ngannou might not sign a new deal with the promotion after his fight this month. Meanwhile, ‘The Problem Child’, since his transitions to boxing, has been calling out UFC fighters and has also demanded White to give him a boxing match with one of his fighters.

The promotion also snubbed him and set up an interim heavyweight title fight between Ciryl Gane and Derrick Lewis at UFC 265. ‘Bon Gamin’ won the fight and will now unify his interim title for the heavyweight gold.
