“That’s What’s Great About UFC….”- Despite the Bad Blood, Jake Paul Details the One Thing That Separates Dana White and the UFC From Boxing
Dana White and the Fertitta brothers bought the UFC for $2 million. The three men then further invested millions more into it trying to legalize the sport and get it on air on different TV networks. A lot of things have changed in the two decades that White has been in charge of the UFC. However, one core philosophy has not changed. In the UFC, the best fight the best and that has been the case since day one.
In a recent interview, one of Dana White’s harshest critique, Jake Paul shared his thoughts on what makes the UFC better than his beloved sport of boxing. He said, “The problem with boxing is so many if these big fights aren’t being made because they have so many excuses you know.”
‘The Problem Child’ continued, “That’s what’s great about UFC actually okay you don’t wanna fight there’s someone else in line and we are gonna shelf you now and f**k off but in boxing these guys hide behind so many excuses it’s like Tommy Fury talks a big game KSI talking all the f**king time but then they never back it up they never wanna actually do shit.”
Jake Paul to take on Nate Diaz after approval from Dana White?
For the longest time, Jake Paul has been wanting to secure a fight against Nate Diaz. However, given that he was under contract with the UFC, it did not materialize as Dana White stated explicitly that he would never do any business with the younger Paul brother.
Now that Diaz is on the last fight of his UFC contract, he will soon be a free agent. This means that Jake Paul vs Nate Diaz is inching ever close to being a reality. Diaz is a big name in the sport with a cult-like fan following. A fight with Diaz will do 1-2 million PPV buys easily accordingly to ‘The Problem Child’.
