Jake Paul throws jab at Dana White as UFC fighter Derek Brunson issues challenge Twitter: Jake Paul \/ Wikimedia CommonsJake Paul\u2019s feud with Dana White has escalated yet again after he threw a jab at the UFC President following a challenge from Derek Brunson, claiming he \u201cowns\u201d his fighters and they \u201cdeserve better.\u201d Jake Paul and Dana White have been butting heads ever since the UFC President called him a \u201cgimmick boxer\u201d in January 2021. Since then, Jake has thrown a number of jabs his way, like when he told Dana to pay his fighters more money, called him a \u201cbald bum,\u201d and even threatened to end their feud by \u201cknocking him out.\u201d Dana clapped back too. Not only did he threaten legal action against Jake, but he also claimed he\u2019d never work with him, denied claims he underpays fighters, and told him to \u201cget in line\u201d regarding his knock-out comments. Their feud continued after Jake offered him a crazy fight, which he counteroffered. And now Derek Brunson, the fourth-ranked fighter in the UFC Middleweight division, stepped in with an offer of his own. Jake shared an article written by MMA Fighting in which Brunson said: \u201cI could use a tune-up with one of the Jake Paul brothers or something. Maybe Dana White will loan me. I could fight one of those guys.\u201d Paul seemed interested in the idea. \u201cDana admitted this morning that I would destroy \u2018170\u2019 pound Masvidal,\u201d he wrote on Twitter. \u201cSo, Dana, will you give Brunson permission to make some real money? Dana?\u201d Dana admitted this morning that I would destroy \u201c170\u201d pound Masvidal.. So Dana will you give Brunson permission to make some real money? Dana? pic.twitter.com\/HtxyWYC99m \u2014 Jake Paul (@jakepaul) September 17, 2021 Brunson responded, saying, \u201cBlonde Brunson doesn\u2019t lose. I adapt to any environment. I outsmart and outwit then brutalize fighters. Jake Paul, come to the UFC for one fight. We can make whatever rules you want in a contract. Then, I\u2019m sure Dana White will loan me for a boxing match!\u201d However, Jake used it as an opportunity to throw another jab at Dana. \u201cI\u2019m sorry that you have accepted that you are owned by Dana White and have to be loaned out, like a car. You and your fellow fighters deserve better.\u201d I\u2019m sorry that you have accepted that you are owned by Dana White and have to be loaned out, like a car. You and your fellow fighters deserve better. https:\/\/t.co\/vNLTzhnwYR \u2014 Jake Paul (@jakepaul) September 18, 2021 Dana hasn\u2019t responded yet. Jake and Brunson have made it clear they\u2019re both looking forward to a fight, but whether it happens at all is a different story. Brunson signed a six-fight contract with the UFC in December 2019 and has only fought three times since. So he\u2019s locked in for a while.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
