Dana White scoffs at Jake Paul\u2019s UFC challenge: \u201cYou\u2019re a cheater\u201d Instagram: Jake Paul \/ YouTube: Hotboxin’ with Mike TysonUFC President Dana White responded to Jake Paul\u2019s challenge to increase fighter pay in exchange for his retirement by claiming he thinks Paul is a \u201ccheater\u201d, asking him to take random steroid tests. On January 1, Paul issued a \u201creal challenge\u201d to White. He said he would retire from boxing immediately and agree to fight Jorge Masvidal in the UFC if White agreed to pay his fighters more and provide long-term healthcare. He also tagged a number of fighters to get on board, including Conor McGregor, Francis Ngannou, Israel Adesanya, Jorge Masvidal, Kamaru Usman, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Nate Diaz, Rose Namajunas, and more. White responded to the challenge shortly after. He called Paul a \u201ccheater\u201d and asked him to take random steroid tests for the next two years. Then, he urged him to start his own fight promotion business if he thinks it\u2019s so easy. \u201cJake, you never responded to the challenge,\u201d said White. \u201cI believe that you\u2019re a cheater. I believe that you use steroids. So, I want to randomly steroid test you for the next two years. \u201cThat thing you came out with today. Nobody on earth thinks that you really wrote that. You\u2019re too stupid.\u201d He also implied that Jake\u2019s \u201cscumbag\u201d manager, who used to be an accountant for the UFC, played a part. \u201cIf you two think you can do it better than we do, and that we\u2019re doing this whole thing wrong, and that you can treat the fighters better than we do, knock yourselves out. Go start your own business. It\u2019s easy to do.\u201d Read More: KSI updates fans on possible Jake Paul fight – Then, he told them to focus on their own business. \u201cYou\u2019re tanking. You can\u2019t sell pay-per-views. You\u2019re calling out Jorge Masvidal because he\u2019s a pay-per-view superstar. Nate Diaz, Conor McGregor, Mike Tyson. These are all superstars. You\u2019re not.\u201d .@jakepaul you never responded to the challenge pic.twitter.com\/1uzI9mur1T \u2014 danawhite (@danawhite) January 2, 2022 White concluded his response by reiterating his point about Paul\u2019s pay-per-view numbers. He also laid down the random steroid testing challenge one last time. \u201cDo you use steroids? Let\u2019s do this, Jake,\u201d he said. White and Paul have been at odds with each other ever since White disputed Paul\u2019s pay-per-view numbers against Ben Askren in April 2021. Paul responded by telling him to pay his fighters more, and the rest is history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
