Jake Paul slams UFC, Disney and ESPN for pulling Joe Rogan from the UFC broadcast
The UFC confirmed earlier that the UFC broadcasting team pillar, Joe Rogan will not be a part of the team for UFC 271.
These reports come amid controversies surrounding Rogan, who has been instrumental in the evolution of the sport.
Jake Paul is convinced there was another motive behind the decision. He accused ESPN and Disney of ‘pulling’ Rogan from the UFC 271 broadcast — apparently due to the ongoing controversy surrounding him.
‘The Problem Child’ also used it as an opportunity to take another dig at UFC President Dana White, urging the company to ‘pull’ him instead and explained why in a tweet that he put out.
He wrote:
“So ESPN and Disney pull Joe Rogan from the UFC broadcast but stand behind Dana White who calls reporters douche bags, says a female fighter looks like a male fighter in dress and heels, and claims brain damage is part of the gig? You pulled the wrong guy Mr. Chapek.”
Jake Paul, who has openly criticized the UFC and Dana White for underpaying their fighters has reacted to ‘The Last Style Bender’ signing a new multi-fight deal with the UFC.
Jake Paul is not the one to be known to mince words when it comes to speaking his mind and leaving up to his nickname of ‘the problem child’. Building up to UFC 271 during media interviews, Israel Adesanya had disclosed his latest contract that will make him the second-highest-paid fighter in the UFC.
This does not come as a surprise since Izzy has managed to build a brand around him, thanks to his entertaining fighting style and superstar personality.
Although Jake Paul seemed happy for Adesanya who he respects immensely, he still feels the champion is undervalued and has stated the exact figure that Izzy should be making in an ideal world.
