Jake Paul continues to take shots at Dana White and the UFC.<\/p>\n
White, who has come under fire for a lack of enthusiasm toward promoting UFC events, recently confirmed that he is no longer involved in negotiations with fighters. Paul has tapped into the business side of MMA as his Most Valuable Promotions company will hold its debut event May 16 on Netflix, headlined by Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano. Paul sees UFC Freedom 250, which takes place June 14 at the White House in Washington, D.C. as a failure and said White is to blame.<\/p>\n

“Not smart enough,” Paul said of White on\u00a0“This Past Weekend with Theo Von.”<\/a> Just look at what he’s doing. You don’t get Jon Jones on the White House card? First of all, Justin Gaethje<\/a> is going to lose to Ilia (Topuria) on the White House card. So you have a Spaniard beating a white American on the patriotic White House card? Big mistake.<\/p>\n “Why are you not going to pay Jon Jones? They’ve gotten greedy. They’ve forgotten their heart as a company. That’s the problem. It’s dying because the best people in the sport become wrestlers, and they just hold on. Khabib, Khamzat, boring. No one wants to watch that. When they’re paying fighters like 15 percent of the revenue \u2013 by the way, down to 10 percent. What is Paramount? Who has that?”<\/p>\n More: Triple Take: Is the UFC Freedom 250 card a complete letdown?<\/a><\/p>\n MVP’s inaugural MMA event will be headlined by Rousey and Carano, who square off in a five-round featherweight bout, and also features former UFC stars Francis Ngannou<\/a> and Nate Diaz on the undercard.<\/p>\n
