Jake Paul has made it a habit to call out UFC fighters for his boxing matches. Chael Sonnen has offered up a theory on why he's choosing UFC fighters and not people that aren't in business with Dana White.
Jake Paul has long had a feud with UFC President Dana White and wants to get under his skin with any opportunity he gets. Chael Sonnen believes that's a big factor in why he keeps going for UFC fighters.
“Dana’s guys are under contract with Dana (UFC). The end! There’s nothing else to talk about here. Paul knows that. Paul’s not thinking, ‘I can get under Dana’s skin. I can do just enough to just drive him crazy and make him send one of these guys.’ It’s not going to happen.” Former UFC fighter, Chael Sonnen explained on his YouTube show. “Dana’s not going to do him the favor, he’s not interested, and it has nothing to do with Paul, Showtime, and anybody else. Dana has never done that. His policy is very simple. It’s very straightforward but it’s also very consistent… Why does Paul keep doing that? I don’t think that you got to put on your Columbo rain jacket to figure this out. Because he gets a response. It’s very good for business.”
It may be very good for business but it's tough to figure out who would ever be able to make something work while being under contract with the UFC. Dana White has made it clear he will not work with Jake Paul.
