Jake Paul Calls Out Dana White and UFC, Shoves Mike Perry at Weigh-In
In the latest chapter of his ongoing feud with the UFC and its president Dana White, Jake Paul has once again made headlines. The YouTube star turned professional boxer known for his polarizing persona and outspoken nature, has called out Dana White and the entire UFC. Declaring war on the organization’s fighters.
During the weigh-in face-off for his highly anticipated boxing match against former UFC fighter Mike Perry, tensions flared as Paul shoved Perry, sending shockwaves through the crowd and social media. The incident occurred last night, just hours before the two are set to square off in the ring.
In an interview with Ariel Helwani, Paul recounted the altercation with Perry. “He flew like six feet,” Paul said, clearly relishing the moment. “But look, Dana White said that he's going to give Perry a UFC contract if he could knock me out. Well, guess what, Dana? You can rip up the ******* contract because I'm going to **** up Mike Perry. Anyone you send at me, any one of your MMA fighters is getting ****** up.”
Paul didn’t stop there, going on to accuse the UFC of trying to undermine his career in combat sports. “They've been trying to assassinate me. They don't want me in this sport. They hate that I run this sport, but when you try to assassinate a guy like me, it only makes me bigger. I'm on a mission from God, a mission from God, a servant of God to save this sport. And that's exactly what I will keep doing. Keep on winning, keep on fighting.”
These fiery comments are just the latest in a series of provocations from Paul towards the UFC. His contentious relationship with Dana White has been well-documented, with Paul frequently criticizing White’s treatment of fighters and challenging the UFC’s business practices.
Paul’s assertion that he’s on a mission from God to “save this sport” is indicative of the grandiosity with which he views his role in boxing. Despite the controversy and criticism that surround him, Paul’s ability to draw attention and generate buzz is undeniable. His matches, often featuring former MMA fighters, have consistently attracted significant viewership and media coverage.
As Paul and Perry prepare to step into the ring, the stakes have never been higher. For Paul, this fight is not just about victory; it’s about making a statement to the UFC and its president. For Perry, it’s a chance to secure a future in the UFC and prove that MMA fighters can succeed in the boxing world.
Regardless of the outcome, one thing is certain: Jake Paul’s war with the UFC is far from over. Fight.TV is here for it!
