A media member recently asked the UFC boss man to comment on the video, but White had a question of his own for the media member.
Even though the ‘diss track’ became viral, the UFC president said he has not watched it. As he has not watched the track, he asked the reporter if the track was good or not? Initially, the reporter was hesitant in answering the question, and he mentioned the appearance of Cris Cyborg and Antonio McKee in the video and called it intense.
Later, after White wanted a clear answer, the reporter implied it was good. However, it didn’t sit well with White, and he said, “I think you are full of sh*t, that’s what I think.”
The reporter didn’t ask any follow-up questions. Hence, the UFC President didn’t comment further on the ‘diss track’.
Jake Paul has been targeting Dana White over the ‘fighters pay’ issue
‘The Problem Child‘ has been a successful content creator. Thus, he believes every fighter should create their own brand and build a name for themselves. He believes that the fighters are the content, and they should get the bigger piece of the profit. Hence, he has gone after UFC President Dana White, as he thinks that the UFC is not paying their fighters enough money.

The YouTuber doesn’t miss any opportunity to point out the lack of money UFC fighters are making. After every UFC event, when the payouts come out, he highlights that the UFC needs a better pay structure.
He has claimed that many UFC fighters behind the scene support him, but they are afraid to lose their jobs, hence they don’t offer him public support.
