“That's why I applaud the UFC and everything they've done for MMA as a sport. Their promotion, production, all that sh*t is amazing. People think I hate the UFC. I do not hate. I also have a lot of respect for Dana. We agree on many things. I'm sure we would be friends in this life, maybe in another. I just want fighters to get paid more. 12 thousand dollars to fight? Even if they fought four times a year, it wouldn’t be enough to support their families,” Jake said.
With great influence on YouTube and social media, Jake Paul has been venturing into boxing in recent years and has accumulated victories over big names in MMA such as Ben Askren, Tyron woodley (twice), Anderson Silva e Nate diaz.
