Jake Paul vows to disrupt Dana White's UFC, aims to create fighter's union

Youtube sensation turned professional boxer Jake Paul vowed to ‘disrupt’ Dana White’s way of running the UFC.

Paul and the UFC President have been in a war of words for quite a while with the former calling out the UFC’s fighter pay and overall contract with the world’s leading mixed martial arts promotion.

In an interview with ESPN, Paul reiterated that UFC fighters are underpaid and vowed to be a crusader for his fellow prizefighters.

“It’s really about the fighters. I’ve been in the gym, I’ve seen how hard these guys work, how mistreated they are, and how underpaid all of them are. So it’s really about fighter pay and getting them healthcare, poking the bear, and disrupting his whole business,” said Paul.

“I am not stopping anytime soon this is about the fighters. I want to create a fighters’ union. My goal is to really impact the entire sport both MMA and boxing, and leave an everlasting stamp.”

The 25-year-old Paul (5-0, 4KOs) is coming off a highlight-reel sixth-round knockout over former UFC welterweight world champion Tyron Woodley last December.

Capable of drawing a huge audience given his clout on social media, Paul promised that he would keep speaking out against the ways of the UFC especially since he is not controlled by the promotion.

“I just so happen to not be beholden to anybody. A lot of these UFC fighters are beholden to Dana White,” Paul stated.

“They can’t speak out against him so I’m using my platform because I’m one of a very few people who actually can. I’ll say whatever. I’ll speak the truth. I’m doing what my responsibility is as a fighter and as someone who cares about other fighters.”
