“I’ll be honest that’s the thing that’s pissing me off about it lad, he’s trying to act like a martyr, like he’s helping MMA fighters – he’s not, lad,” the UFC lightweight said. “He’s just doing that for his own publicity. People are like ‘he’s actually being good for MMA fighters’, he’s not. He just wants to make a show of Dana White and that’s the perfect way of doing it. It’s all about that. The way he’s saying ‘I’m gonna end up getting in the cage’, you’re not, lad. You’re not. Stop lying. If you wanna have an MMA fight, I’ll fight you in me ma’s garden tomorrow. Know what I mean?”

It will have to be seen what Jake Paul's true motivation is regarding his involvement with the UFC and Dana White. The opinions on the situation appear to be split so far.
