Dana White \u201cadmires\u201d Jake Paul despite heated feud over UFC pay Instagram: Dana White\/Jake PaulDana White apparently has a soft spot for Jake Paul and \u201cadmires\u201d the YouTuber-turned-boxer, though, he is unlikely to admit it according to UFC coach Javier Mendez. Ever since he first stepped into the fight game, Jake Paul has gone after some of the biggest names in both the boxing world as well as those in the UFC. While he\u2019s traded verbal jabs with many fighters, his most heated feud has been with UFC boss Dana White. Jake and Dana have gone back and forth on a number of things, including the raging debate on UFC fighter pay and healthcare, as well as just how many pay-per-views that Jake\u2019s fights have sold. While Dana has somewhat distanced himself from the feud recently, he apparently \u201cadmires\u201d the work that Jake has been putting in, but he\u2019s unlikely to ever admit it in public. That\u2019s according to Khabib Nurmagomedov\u2019s trainer Javier Mendez, who also believes Jake could beat Conor McGregor if the pair ever got inside the boxing ring. Mendez, who was speaking to Betway, stated that Dana is a \u201cmastermind\u201d of creating hype and interest, and that\u2019s exactly what\u2019s been going on between himself and Jake. \u201cIf it makes business sense for Dana then he\u2019ll do it. Dana is a mastermind of creating news in the media, he\u2019s a master at it,\u201d Mendez said. \u201cEven the thing with Jake Paul, you know he has his war with Jake Paul, but behind closed doors, he actually admires the kid and respects how he goes about getting attention.\u201d As noted, White has distanced himself from the feud with Jake in recent weeks, but admitted that he\u2019d \u201cnever say never\u201d when it comes to possibly linking up with the social media star. Dana will probably never admit to liking Jake as way to keep things going, but it at least appears as if he\u2019s softened his anti-Paul stance and people have noticed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
