“They messaged me privately,” Jake Paul reveals top UFC fighters are too afraid to support him for recent attacks on Dana White
Jake Paul says he has the support of a lot of UFC fighters
Jake Paul feels he must be doing something right if some of the top UFC fighters seem to be enjoying his scathing attacks on the UFC President Dana White.
YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul has been a real menace to the MMA community ever since he fought two of the former MMA champions, Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley. Jake has managed to hop on the train of fighter pay and elevate the issue to a whole other level. The boxer has launched some scathing attacks on MMA promotions and the UFC president Dana White in specific for the poor treatment of fighters.
Jake had the entire MMA community hating on him up until he started being the voice of many UFC fighters who believed they were not treated well by their boss. Recently, Jake made an appearance on The MMA Hour hosted by Ariel Helwani to talk about the reactions to his Dana White diss track he dropped a few days ago.

“Yes, there are a lot of fighters, a lot of big fighters in the UFC message me saying, ‘We love this, keep on going but I can’t support this publicly,'” said Jake in the interview. Paul however does not mind that the fighters don’t support him publicly. “I don’t want them to sacrifice. They have to put food on their family’s table.”
“Like I said earlier, I happen to have a platform to do this. So I accept the responsibility and I am going to do it. I have made that decision. I am going to war and I am not backing down no matter what happens. I don’t need the fighters in the UFC to support this [publicly]. Behind the scenes it would be nice to have their support and talk about it and push for these movements,” said Jake.

I want them to make more money.” Jake’s recent diss track on the UFC President Dana White became a huge hit and has over two million views in three days on YouTube.
