Jake Paul gets UFC champ\u2019s support as Dana White feud rumbles on YouTube: Showtime Sports\/NELK BoysJake Paul has got a fan in UFC champion Francis Ngannou as the heavyweight king said he agrees \u201c100%\u201d with the things he\u2019s thrown at Dana White. Since getting involved in the combat sports world, Jake Paul has been plunged into a number of beefs with fellow fighters, promoters, and analysts. Though, his most personal might be with Dana White. The YouTuber has gone after the UFC president over pay-per-view price, fighter pay, as well as providing healthcare for fighters \u2013 and has even invested into the UFC\u2019s parent company to try and make his mark. While White has tried to distance himself from the beef, Jake has continued it, and has even got a fan in UFC heavyweight king Francis Ngannou, who says he agrees with what the social media star is saying. The Cameroonian fighter \u2013 who has reportedly \u2018negotiated\u2019 with Jake for a fight \u2013 posted an interview to YouTube on February 18, where he was quizzed about the \u201cTwitter war\u201d that has been unfolding over the last few months. \u201cI follow all the stuff, I am aware of what\u2019s happening, you know,\u201d Ngannou started. \u201cJake Paul has his own way of communicating, which is a little different. Maybe not the same way as I will communicate but in the meantime, I can\u2019t blame him. I\u2019m 100 percent with him for what he says. \u201cWhen he claimed for fighter healthcare, oh, I am 100 percent down with that. He claimed for a fighter pay increase, I\u2019m 1000 percent down for that,\u201d he added. \u201cSo, the fighters are not protected, fighters are all out there on their own and nobody looks up to them. They are putting their body on the line for something. At least give them healthcare. I\u2019m 1000 percent down for that.\u201d Timestamp of 5:37 While Jake has tried to make inroads to effect change in the UFC, and has some support, nothing has happened just yet. It could be a long road for him to enact change but if more fighters throw their support behind him like Ngannou, well, who knows what could happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
