‘The Problem Child’ Jake Paul has not ended his feud with Dana White and seems adamant about testing his skills inside the octagon. Paul and White have traded shots with each other all over the Internet, with both sides putting on bizarre demands.

While White dared Jake Paul to take steroid tests, ‘The Problem Child’ agreed and presented a counter demand. He wanted the UFC President to test all his fighters and even urged White to raise the fighters’ minimum pay. After almost a week, the 24-year-old followed up.

In his latest tweet, Paul wrote, “5 days have passed & while I’ve agreed to be tested, Dana has vanished like casper. Dana: my 1 fight deal, I will fight for $50K, the new min. You make millions off of me & all of UFC fighters benefit from the new min, rev share share and healthcare.”

After knocking out Tyron Woodley in his fifth pro-appearance, Jake Paul called out UFC stars- Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal to battle him inside the ring. However, as both men are under contract with the UFC, they cannot move to face Paul inside the boxing ring.

Jake Paul has mostly fought MMA fighters in his boxing bouts so far, and the latest call-outs reflect that he wants to continue on this path.

Will Dana White entertain Jake Paul?

UFC kingpin Dana White has repeatedly maintained that he has no connection with Jake Paul’s combat plans. While he is solely focused on developing the brand of UFC, Paul is working on his own boxing career. Hence, they both are on different routes and fans cannot expect the UFC President to entertain the YouTuber.

Nevertheless, both men have always found ways to ridicule each other. Following Paul’s back-to-back wins over Tyron Woodley, he is in a comfortable position to make his calls at will. Derek Brunson has called out Paul and has not received a response.

A potential fight against former UFC champion Anderson Silva is also valid, but Jake Paul hasn’t shown any interest in it.
