Jake Paul called every UFC fighter an employee while also firing shots at UFC President Dana White
Jake Paul is the talk of the town. Words of love or showers of hate, Paul has got the attention of the combat sports community.
‘The Problem Child’ recently knocked out former UFC champ Tyron Woodley in front of a packed Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida. This was his fifth successive win in his professional boxing career.
With Paul soaring in his fighting career, talks of him going to the UFC (highly improbable) were brought up. In the latest IMPAULSIVE episode, Paul claimed that he ‘makes more than every UFC fighter including Conor McGregor, combined, and that he would never become an ’employee of the UFC.’
Here is what Paul had to say:
“I make more than every UFC fighter f***ing combined, including Conor McGregor. Y’all work for f***ing Dana. Why would I go into the UFC? Sign a contract and give away my f***ing rights. I’m a f***ing CEO and every UFC fighter is an employee.” [IMPAULSIVE and Michael Benson]
Jake Paul will probably not fight Tommy Fury next
In a recent interview with USA Today Sports+, Jake Paul revealed that he was targeting a big name next. Tommy Fury was not in his plans.
Paul said:
“Most likely not Tommy. I kind of want someone with a bigger name. We’ll see how all the stars align, but I’m tired of carrying all these pay-per-view buys by myself.” [via USA TODAY Sports+]
Fury was scheduled to fight Woodley on the 18th of December, but pulled out due to a rib injury.
