Jake Paul will never establish a cordial relationship with Dana White, or so we thought. ‘The Problem Child’, as he inches closer to his fight against Mike Perry this weekend, answered a few questions about what he thinks about Dana White. Guess what? It seems that the ship hasn’t sailed yet. Dana White recently made an appearance on the ‘Club Shay Shay’ podcast and the UFC CEO although did not like the idea of Jake Paul fighting Mike Tyson, offered some pleasant words for the YouTuber-turned-boxer.

“The kid’s out there and he’s doing his thing and he’s making money,” the 54-year-old said. Now, what does Paul think of those comments? Let’s hear it from the 27-year-old himself.

Is Jake Paul willing to make amends with Dana White? Yes, but there’s a catch

Jake Paul appears to have no problems with Dana White, at least, from a personal point of view. And as a professional promoter, ‘The Problem Child’ has all the respect for the UFC CEO for bringing the sport of MMA to the fore and making it mainstream. This is an interesting development because over a year ago, White banned him from attending a UFC event, UFC 286.

Emphasizing the fighter pay issue once again, Jake Paul stated during an interview after his recent open workout, “There’s a lot of things I respect about Dana White. His politics [and] what he did for MMA. But now it’s time for him to pay his UFC fighters more.” The only way Paul would ever get on good terms with Dana White would be to solve that problem.

“If he can agree to do that, then I’m more than down to sit down and have a conversation with him and work on our relationship like grown men, and at the end of the day, I just want what’s best for the fighters,” Jake Paul added. Nevertheless, his ban on the UFC doesn’t seem to have been lifted.

Is Jake Paul genuinely concerned about fighters, or is this just another publicity stunt?

Have an interesting take?

While Jake Paul and Dana White may not be on the same page when it comes to fighter pay, they were on the same page, however, when the news about Donald Trump getting shot surfaced in the media. Let’s see what the 27-year-old had to say.

Paul, just like the UFC CEO, offered support to former president Donald Trump

Dana White immediately shared a post after he heard about the failed assassination attempt on Donald Trump and called the former president a real “AMERICAN BAD A**.” On the other other, Jake Paul appeared to have a bit of a religious reaction claiming that “If it isn’t apparent enough who God wants to win,” citing that all roads lead to Trump becoming president in the future. The 27-year-old also believes that this incident has only made the ex-POTUS stronger in his pursuit to “Make America Great Again.”

“When you try and kill God’s angels and saviors of the world it just makes them bigger Good beats evil every time,” Jake Paul added in a post on X. Just like most of the UFC fighters, the YouTuber-turned-boxer also supports Trump massively, given that he’s been seen hanging out with fellow Republican Vivek Ramaswamy on social media.
