Dana White donated $250,000 to a famous youtuber! UFC Fighters Revolt, Even Jake Paul Has Reacted

UFC President Dana White was in a giving mood. He gave his friend and fellow YouTuber a box that contained $250,000. The information caused an uproar among UFC fighters, and well-known provocateur Jake Paul rushed in with a bit of grist for the mill.

The salaries of MMA fighters are a big topic not only in our country, but also in the top league of the world. Fighters often accuse UFC owner Dan White of living on a very high salary himself, while fighters have salaries disproportionate to risking their health in fights.

Although the situation has improved somewhat recently, a big stir on the fight scene was caused by a video posted by well-known prankster Kyle Forgeard on his social media. In it, he shows how he received a box from the UFC president for his birthday, which contained 250,000 US dollars.

This, of course, has stirred up the waters again among UFC fighters. And it wouldn’t be Jake Paul if he didn’t come up with a swift response as well. Let’s take a look at the most interesting reactions to the said incident.

“It’s my birthday on July 31st, I can’t wait to see what I get from Dana White, ” wrote UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling on his social media.

Former MMA fighter Jon Fitch went even further. “He’s donating the money he stole from UFC fighters, ” the American fighter, who fought 18 fights in the UFC, responded.

“Retweet if you think Dana White should gift 250k to all the top 15 UFC fighters on their next birthday,” said former British fighter Dan Hardy.

“When are we going to start a union,” asks UFC fighter Louis Smolka, who has 17 fights in the world’s top league.

“How could you do this to your fighters, ” Jake Paul was quick to respond. He has often clashed with White over fighters’ salaries and health care. “People are starting to see how greedy that son of a bitch is, ” he added of the famed promoter.
