The UFC President Dana White is a bold businessman, one who isn’t afraid to take tough decisions. White is often credited with the success of the premier promotion and people aren’t wrong about this. It was indeed Dana White who convinced the Fertita brothers to buy the last iteration of the UFC. Since then, White and his team have been working hard to make UFC, what it is today.

As mentioned earlier, the President of the biggest Mixed Martial Arts promotion in the world isn’t one to shy away from challenges. And he demonstrated the same when YouTuber turned boxer, Jake Paul, issued a new year challenge for the UFC boss.

In the Twitter post, Jake Paul asked Dana White to increase fighter pay, share the annual revenue of the UFC with fighters and provide a long-term healthcare plan to his prospects. Meanwhile, Paul also declared that if White obliges with his conditions, the ‘Problem Child’ will retire as a boxer and fight Jorge Masvidal in the UFC.

“If you two think that we can do it better than we do, we’re doing this whole thing wrong, you can treat the fighters better than we do. Knock yourself out. Go start your own business, it’s easy to do. Get the warlock on it.”

However, Dana White hit out at the 24-year-old with a sarcastic reply. White targeted Paul’s manager, who worked as an accountant for White, and hinted that Jake Paul wouldn’t be able to write all those conditions himself as he is ‘stupid’. Later, White suggested Paul create his own promotion if he wants to bring change.
