Jake Paul, on several occasions in the near past, criticized Dana White for the way the latter operated the UFC. According to Paul, White did not pay his employees enough for the labor they put in, but on the contrary, benefitted greatly from their work and the surplus value they generated using their bruised knuckles and arms. In addition, Paul condemned White for the want of medical insurance, which otherwise promised fighters security for the inescapable risks they took to run the wheel for the UFC.
White has not entertained the thoughts of Jake Paul. In a recent post-fight conference interview, White, on being informed about the rumors of Jake Paul fighting Anderson Silva said this:

Needless to say, White’s remarks express an irritation as he encounters a question on Paul. However, the fact that he acknowledges Jake Paul vs. Anderson Silva to be a “real fight” helps ‘The Problem Child‘ promote his upcoming and rumored bout.
