Jake Paul has been taking digs at UFC President Dana White for several reasons. The boxer wanted to ensure that White took sufficient care of his UFC fighters by providing them with healthcare and good pay. To all who believed he was all talk, ‘The Problem Child’ showed everyone how serious he was by investing in UFC’s parent company, Endeavour.

On January 25, Paul revealed that he invested in EDR (UFC) stock. At that time, the company’s share value was USD $28.51. Three days later, its value was around USD $30.27.

However, currently, Endeavour’s share value has drastically fallen. As of May 5, the value was USD $20.00, i.e. close to a 30% decline.

Just during the end of December 2021 and the start of January 2022, its share value was quite high; around USD $34.89. However, with the recent fall, it looks like the lowest value the company’s stock has seen in a long time. As a result, it would be interesting to follow the company’s performance in the next few months.

Per ‘Mirror‘, Endeavor went public in April 2021, and thus, the UFC followed its parent company. This allowed people to invest in the promotion for the first time since its establishment in 1993.

Back in 2016, Endeavor brought about 50.1% of the promotion for $4 billion. But soon, they took full ownership of the UFC. With Paul‘s recent entry, it would be interesting to see how much influence he has over the subject of fighter pay and healthcare issue.

In fact, ‘The Problem Child’ went ahead and made a diss track on Dana White. With so much going on, people were surprised when the UFC President appeared on Jake Paul’s brother, Logan Paul’s podcast ‘IMPAULSIVE’. The older Paul and White seemed to gel quite well.
