YouTube star Jake Paul said he’s
planning to release a diss track aimed at UFC president Dana White on
Friday.
Paul, who’s transitioned to the world
of combat sports with a 5-0 boxing record, told ESPN’s Stephen A.
Smith on Thursday’s edition of First Take he remains at odds with
White about the issue of fighter pay:
“It’s really about the fighters.
You know, I’ve been in the gym and I’ve seen how hard these guys work
and how mistreated they are and how underpaid all of them are. So,
it’s really about fighter pay and getting them health care, and
poking the bear and disrupting his whole entire business. I’m
dropping a diss track on Dana White tomorrow morning, so you will see
that. And I’m not stopping any time soon.
“But this is about the fighters; I
want to create a fighters’ union. This is my goal, to really impact
the whole entire sport, both MMA and boxing, and leave an
everlasting stamp. And I just so happen to not be beholden to
anybody. A lot of these UFC fighters are beholden to Dana White, they
can’t speak out against him. So, I’m using my platform because I’m
one of the very few people who actually can. I’ll say whatever, I’ll
speak the truth. So, I’m just doing my responsibility as a fighter
and as someone who cares about other fighters.”
